Art in 200 words


Art cannot me described by one absolute definition. I feel this way because every individual is entitled to hold his/her own opinion on what is art and what is not art. Everybody's mind functions in a unique way which will formulate a perspective of the world. So what one person believes is an incredible piece of art, another may feel is not art at all. For example, a sports enthusiast may believe that the golf swing is a work of art, a specific set of movement that has propelled a man to become the most dominant g0lfer of all time. Someone else may be entirely unimpressed and view this swing is merely a man hitting a small white ball with a piece of steel.

I personally feel art is anything that shows the skill and concerted effort of a human being. This definition would encompass far more than classical forms of art such as paintings or sculptures. Art does not need to be tangible, because something does not need physical substance to express an emotion. Just about anything can be justified as art if viewed from a certain perspective. Art does not necessarily need to be beautiful or widely accepted as being art.

Art In 200 Words

Art is something that someone creates and is very individualistic and personal.  One may create something differently than how I would.  When I think of art I think of something beautiful that gives me feelings based on what it is.  I feel that art can be made out of anything and anyone can make art.  It makes me wonder the meaning behind the piece of art.  There does not need to be a meaning behind it and it can be something as simple as a desk or chair.  Art is all over.  Sometimes art changes my mood depending what it is.  I think that art is a large part of everyone's lives but most people stop to think about it and do not pay attention to it.  Many people may say we could live without art in this world but what would a world without art look like.  Many people do not appreciate certain things as art but I believe that art can be made out of everything and anything.  What I feel about one piece may be different than the person standing next to me as well and it may make them feel the complete opposite of the way I feel.
