1. What is art? Art is a way of communication. Art is use to communicate ideas or feelings.
Tolstoy stated that “To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced, and having
evoked it in oneself, then, by means of movements, lines, colors, sounds, or forms
expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling that others may experience the same
feeling — this is the activity of art. Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man
consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived
through, and that other people are infected by these feelings and also experience them.” I
believe art is made to communicate feelings or passed experiences to people without
using words it’s a nonverbal language. There are many kinds of arts visual arts to
performing arts where the performers are telling stories with the movement of their
bodies.
2. What is good art? Good art pleases everyone and it shouldn’t be explain. Good art should
be understood by everyone. It shouldn’t appeal to one audience or class it should appeal
to everyone. When looking at good art the audience should just get it without having to
be educated about the art. For an example I would stay the picture below is good art.
Because I natural understand the image. To me this art says with wreck or ruin theirs
always beauty with in. Theirs a falling down ruin building with a beautiful painting on
the wall.
