I know what is Art for me, but what means Art for you?

ART to me usually means expressing your feelings through paint or colours of some kind.... I only think of art as painting rather than objects etc....

@ally77: so for you music, poems, films, ... ain’t art as well?
ally77 said on June 7, 2005 08:46:
exactly joyrider... I don’t really consider it art, it’s not something I think of.... to me art is just pictures, paintings...
Films are films, just something I watch, poetry is just words etc... You can call it art but to me it’s just something different...

art is an idea. to me it is everything I see or hear or think about

It’s just a word.
You can use dictionary or www/google.com ;-))

but i guess dict is not enough..
so to be more correct–for more of fans here ROXETTE are personification of art. ;-))

Art, just like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
Art is not a synonym for painting, therefore not only paintings can be art. Sculpture, photography, film, design, 3D modeling, ceramic design, textile design, actually, the world around you could be considered an artwork.
Think about what Marcel Duchamp did with his “Readymades”. He took household objects and would put them in an exhibition as art works (to explain it in a simple way). “Bicycle Wheel” is probably one of his best known Readymades. This “experiment” was an effort to break the rules of traditional art in order to create a new kind of art. And this happened in 1913!!!
Today, anything can be considered art, if there was thought behind it. I’m blabbering on now....
Later ;o)

I remember an interview in which Per said “art for me is just short for Arthur”
For me it’s expressing your thoughts/feelings through music, painting/drawing etc.

art can be a lot things like music, books, painting or sculptures. it’s what make you feel or think something. you create you’re own fantasy when you look or listen to it. and you can do that for hours.
then it is art to me.

After thinking of this over the past couple of days whilst flicking through some article... I guess I can now define art over a little more than some paintings... perhaps books, and films should be included... :)

I got a very nice piece of Art given to me today for my birthday by a friend I work with, his name is Rufus, and he is such an amazing artist, this man has serious talent. He has sold a lot of his world through his homeland and throughout Europe when he was travelling, his work is nice! He hope to put some of his work on display in Europe next year!

for me, art communicates sensual perception.
