Neoclassicism was an art movement closely associated with the era beginning from the end of the 17th century through the 18th-century. The Neoclassicism art movement came from a combination of the last half of Baroque art to the burgeoning scientific interest in classical Greek and Roman antiquity (Sayre, 2010). This new found art of Neoclassicism led to the cause in a rapid growth of collections of antiques (Sayre, 2010). In addition, during the Neoclassicism art movement artist stumbled across an unforeseen problem, in which neoclassical artists were unsure as to whether an image of a hero or famous person in artwork should be portrayed as in the traditional Classical or Contemporary costume. Furthermore, neoclassical artists were not known to have incorporated gestures and emotions in images within their artworks (Sayre, 2010). For example, this is visible in a piece of artwork from the Neoclassicism movement known as The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries.…
What is the first thing you think of when modern art is declared? Random paints scattered on a blank canvas? While this is a picture-perfect example of modern art, there is more to it than just random paintings: the artist has a goal. Wherever man exists, there is art, because art is anything made or done by man that affects or moves us so that we feel and see beauty. Man uses his mind to discover a unique beauty in which the artist sees his feelings and inspiration effects on how he will express his art.…

What is art? Although it is a drawn out cliché, the issue must be addressed. The best definition I could come up with is the combination of two definitions. Zaidel believes art attracts attention and elicits an aesthetic-related response.2 This definition is over-inclusive; if anything that attracts attention is art then is a traffic cone art? According to Haselberger, works of art are objects produced with the intention that they be aesthetically pleasing and not merely pragmatically functional.3 This definition is under inclusive, limiting art to solely be “pleasing”. Art attracts attention and elicits an aesthetic-related response but it is beyond functionality. This definition also helps to differentiate between art and tools, which are two similar but not equal things. Art is more about aesthetics while tools are more about functionality.…

What is art? Does it have to be part of some exhibition in a museum? Does it have to be considered ‘good taste’ to be called art or is it simply enough that it is provoking? No matter what you may reply to such questions, your answer can always be discussed. Some art can astonish people in many ways and make them think about society, war the world and their lives, and some sorts of art will bring the question ‘what is art?’ like the work on the unknown artist from the short story by Simon Armitage, Flypaper, from New Writing 9, Vintage 2000.…

What can be considered art? Can it be a marble statue of a naked guy or a urinal? Well, by the standards of Marcel Duchamp, anything can be considered art. He demonstrated this challenge by presenting a Urinal, or the “Fountain”, he had purchased and displayed it in an art museum, which in term created a great uproar. How could something so obscene be considered art? In the first place, what can be considered art does not in any means stand by the craft in the work. Art is a subject of emotion or meaning, presented into a visual form.What the “Fountain” presents is the revision of art, mocking the old stereotypical view. Duchamp truly revolutionized the art world by criticising it for being such a stick in the mud. Furthermore, what truly amazes people of this piece is its aesthetic philosophical meaning which splashes back the question what is art as well as displaying the amazing craft done on urinals. His actions would later inspire artist to be more open with materials and controversial subjects.…
This statement felt very wrong because scribbling on paper does not require profound inspiration or immense thought processing. For example, I could be dozing off in class with a pen in my hand and making streaks on my notes and call it art. Again, this was just my interpretation. Nevertheless, my way of thinking is a part of the the idea mentioned by Lee. Lee goes on to states art has multiple interpretations and vary greatly from person to person, most not always agreeing. In my mind this too did not make sense. The artist had a set idea he or she wanted to convey through the art and that should be the goal. The mere fact that other people arrive at different conclusions would show the artist failed. So does that mean artists are puzzles and have trouble conveying their ideas? No, in fact they try to cater to everyone’s mind. Instead of appealing to one’s own selfish desire of screaming whatever was on their mind through art, artists use their art to strike cords within people and allow them to make their own connections to the piece. Therefore, I arrived at this conclusion: Everyone finds a way to express themselves through poetry, painting, or writing, but what sets artists apart is their effort: trying their best to create a piece that resonates with everyone to personally connect to by considering both sides of the artwork as creator and…
