Hell, I don't even know it when I see most of the time.

I read that in the voice of Cunk.
|
Do you mean Philomena Cunk?
|
I do indeed.

She don't look anything like Gravdigr.

She didn't do a "Moments of Wonder" on art. But she did one on philosophy.

I believe that philosophy and art go hand in hand. Most "Art" requires thought to fully understand.
|
I generally consider art to be inessential creativity that appeals. There can obviously be more to it (e.g. the art of medicine); but, this seems to be the contemporary mainstay.

There is no answer that would be universally accepted. Sometimes paint is used to make pleasant pictures, and sometimes it's just weather proofing. Many, maybe most, think Picasso made pleasant pictures, I think he was weather proofing canvases. Maybe the best answer I can conjure, is creating something that pleases yourself, but I can't see the division between art and craft.

I'm skeptical of the whole "art" thing, and discussions about "art." I've seen crude stuff in museums that I wasn't very impressed by, but somebody decided it was art. Whatever.
But there is something. Art is real. When you take one medium and you manipulate it to represent something else entirely, I think there is something special going on there. Chip off bits of a rock and it becomes a person. That's magical. |
Sorry, 'what is art?' is kind of a trollish question.
|
Oh, I know... Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts, 'cause Wiki said so.
