Art
I would have to say that the art form that I am most familiar with would have to be motion pictures. One of my favorite film producers is Quentin Tarantino which has produce some of my favorite movies of all time like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill. The way he films his movies is like unlike any other producers ever! He will often start the movie in backwards orders or shuffled as where formally it will start and the begging and end at the end. Also his choices of actors are usually used in the often in many different pictures. He also will give himself roles in the film but sometimes just a back character not always the star of the film.
To me motion pictures today are to us what live theater was to others 100 years ago. They are a way for a story writer to depict there life experiences of theirs or others or to just use their imagination to entertain others. Motion pictures to me in an art form that starts on paper than is transferred into real life. Obviously not all movies I would consider a form of art but usually if you look close enough there is some form of art in any movie whether it is in animation, the music or in the particular way the movie was filmed.
The word Cinema may refer to Filmmaking, the process of making a film or also a movie theater, a building in which films is shown. What art means now and what it meant 100 years ago has change in many forms. Art back then before the internet and even before electricity was Johann Bach preforming a symphony in a small theater and Pablo Picasso painting or sculpting a work of art with his hands. Don’t get me wrong artist still do this today but I feel that it is not the same as it was then. Now people are call artist that go viral on the internet for making a song using a computer and can make millions of dollars for a song that they made having never touched a musical instrument let alone even know how to play one. This is still considered art
