Art and Aesthetics
Art and Aesthetics Everything that we see around us is piece of art, but not everyone is able to notice it. Main thing that distinguish art and not art is only our attitude, the way we look at object that we are observing and the way artist present the art work to his audience.
Personally I think that everything might be an art if you use your creativity, include your imagination and release all your potential, which was inherent in you by nature many years ago, while you are looking at it. Mostly Mother- Nature inspired genius artists to create masterpieces, which we all know, since our childhood, but no one counted them as piece of art at the epoch when they were created. Artists were dying from cold and hunger and only many years later their works became world popular. During one of the TED Talks presentations Daniel Tammet said: “I believe our personal perceptions at the heart of how we acquire knowledge. Aesthetic judgments, rather than abstract reasoning, guide and shape the process by which we all come to know what we know”. I absolutely agree with his statement. In other words, in 2 sentences he said what I was trying to explain in 2 paragraphs. Art is something that you can to see in everything that surrounds you. Nature is also art. However, not everyone sees it in everyday life.
All we know proverb about glass with water and everything that is situated around us we can compare to a glass that is half filled with water. Some people see it a half empty and some of them half filled. It proves us one more time that everything depend only on our attitude to one or another thing. By telling this I wanted to express the difference between ordinary bag of rubbish and major work of art that just looks like a bag of rubbish. “Ms. Floyer's bag is empty. That's what makes it artistic.”- this quote I found on one of the websites that were complaining about the art work, however I think that it is a brilliant idea to fill the bag with air in stead
