So today in class we defined what art is. Here are some of the summarized responses:
Visual Expression/Commentary-Individual
Self-Expression
Visual/Many Interpretations
Sound/Cultural Ties/Imagery of idea or thing
Controlled Expression/Context
Physical Expression
Expression of ANYTHING meaningful to the creator
We also listed a bunch of examples of art and where we have seen it. Here are some of those responses:
Poetry/Music/Food
Photos/Behaviors/Clothes/Architecture/
Sculpture
Street Art/City Planning/Tattoos/Painting/Drawing
Smells
Ads/Web Pages/Home Décor
Hair Style/Writing/Book/Fiction/Piercings/Craft/Chalk
Sewing/Dance/Technology/Cars/Carving/Land Art/Theater
Film/Memorial
Keep in mind how varied this list is and how it might push your notions of what art is.
And for now, here is a live performance from one of my favorite albums of last year (Yes, I still buy records and yes, I know how easy it is steal it on-line and yes, this is what the apocalypse might sound like).
