What is ART?
We can interpret 'ART' by two main categories.
- In a BROAD sense, 'Art' is the notion people can recognize in an optical way.
- In a NARROW sense, 'Art' is conventionally including the fields of
architecture, painting, sculpture, craft, and so forth.
What is the problem of contemporary art?
1. A number of contemporary people are not familiar with contemporary art.
- Many people still tend to avoid visiting an unfamiliar place. People willing to
go to galleries or museum are having sort of artistic hobbies or being related
to the field of art. They might visit those places because they are interested
in approaching art works and like them. People also have a stereotype that
almost all ordinary people would not feel much interested in galleries.
2. The lack of accessibility
- We can listen to or even hear lots of music whenever and wherever we
are. On the contrary, there are some restrictions when it comes to art.
People might endure their toil to reach art because enjoying art works
requires time and a spatial limit. We might say that is the 'isolated' art.
3. High price of art works
- A great number of recognized art works are quite expensive these days.
Becaue of works' rarity and artists' fame, art's value is getting increased.
That is one of the reasons which makes people feel hard to reach them.
What can people do to be familiar with art?
- People need to know 'ART' is not a difficult thing. There should be lots of
opportunities for people to learn about 'ART' even if they would be taught
from a very basic concept.
- It is important for the public to feel that everything surrounding us can be
'ART.' And, everyone has the ability to appreciate are works.

The differences between ART and MUSIC
- Eyes vs. Ears
- Both are having a relative difference of accessibility.
Why is art harder than music?
- Music has apparently a standard to distinguish what a wrong part is. But,
it is difficult in terms of art to point out what is right or wrong.
- When you compose any kind of music, you could use categories of rhythm,
beat, and key. However, art does not have a specific criteria to create.
Is it difficult to be an artist if you are not goot at drawing?
-
Basket of Apples, Paul Cezanne(1895)
Everyone has different sights to view this picture.
However, there is not an absolute standard.
What an artist intend to draw can be an art work.
- Artists' intention can be art works because there is no standard to
evaluate them.
Art is totally free.
-
Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue III, Barnett Newman(1960)
It is difficult for viewers to guess perfectly what an artist intended.
It is because the artist expressed his or her thought freely.
At this time, Newman tried to develop his idea which a space are divided.
- Art does not concern about educational background and work experience.
- Everyone can be an artist.
