What is art? I think that art is absolutely anything you want it to be. It ranges from paintings and drawings, to design, to music, and all the way to filming yourself blowing things up. Art is really just an expression of yourself. I've learned this semester that art gives you free spirit. You can really just do whatever the heck you want. That's what makes it so special. In the art piece below I am expressing myself because I love fishing, so I drew a fishing lure.
What is the point of this class? What did I get out of it? I think the point of this class is to sort of be introduced to art to see how you like it. I think that you also learn more techniques and styles in the class as well. I have taken private art lessons in the past, so many of these things i had done before but it gave me a chance to explore them again and really hone my skills. It gave me a chance to express myself as well as re enter the art world. I really enjoyed this class and had a great time doing art again. The piece below is an example of techniques that i had learned before but that i got to play around with again through the class.
What are some reasons artists make art? I think artists make art for all sorts of reasons. They make it to express a lot. They can show their interests, likes or emotions. They do it to entertain. In many cases artists want to intrigue or to catch viewers attention. Some might do it to be famous, and others might do it spread messages. There are so many reasons to make art and all are great reasons, because everyone's art and purpose is different. I did the piece below to express myself. I love The Office so i decided to make art that had to do with it.
