CPS Oct 2013 What is art?

What Is Art?


Art to me is a feeling, a situation, a thought, a time, a concept, an endless possibility but ultimately some sort of creation.
The creation can be minimal or huge, it doesn't matter.
What matters is the idea and how we express it.

As artists we should take what we see, be that visually or in our heads, and turn it into an experience.
The experience can be anything from a visual mark on a surface, a noise, a movement, an empty space, an occurrence, a period of time etc. 


The experience will hopefully convey a feeling to the viewer or produce a thought or an argument.

Art is ideas, freedom to produce works, development and growth. 

art is not rules, boundaries or endings.

Damien Hirst

Some will call it amazing, others will call it the biggest pile of crap ever, but...

WE, as individuals should have the final decision as to WHAT IS ART.
