Art is a subject of varied views & considerations, and defining art may itself challenge you to the threshold of creativity. Broadly, time and other environmental circumstances weave the difference, evolution, and the specificity of artistry. In effect, every new age takes a new plunge of creativity, originality, and technique. Art definitely is a subjective platform and its connotations may vary with individual. For instance, my artistry may be the way I mark my signatures, while for you, art could be the design on your coffee cup or of your furniture.
Altogether, art covers an intangible mix of human thoughts, actions, creations, and expressions, all culminating to the ultimate, human emotions. With a wide, in fact, nearly an immeasurable span of forms, the main genres of art are music, dance, painting, sculpture, and literature. Better understood as the application of skills and imagination, art includes the creation of aesthetic objects, environment, and experiences for personal or public display.
Art
Art is pillared on two fundamentals, form and content. 'Form' is classified as:
Elements of Art
Principles of design
Physical materials
To understand this, let us take the example of the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci's work 'Mona Lisa.' In this work, color, lines, space, and values are the elements of his artwork. Balance, contrast, emphasis, and proportion constitute the principles of design, while materials happen to be brushes and oil paints.
Artistic content is a slightly tricky subject matter. Creative content is an idea-based concept, i.e.:
o The theme the artist intends to portray
o The theme of the actual portrayal
o Audience's response to the piece of work
o Miscellaneous influences, such as religion, politics, society, culture, or your own imagination, add meaning to the content of any artwork.
We talked of creativity, originality, skills, and the technicalities of art. The root of all this consolidates in observation. For uniqueness, closely look at things. Right from people, to their emotions, to environment or life around them, scan them all. In effect, you see things that existed, but were not perceived. Therefore, you get to innovate, develop, or modify the existing. Through the years, several art movements took art to new highs. 'Medieval Art,' 'Renaissance,' 'Mannerism,' 'Baroque,' 'Neoclassicism,' 'Romanticism,' 'Realism,' 'Modern Art,' 'Contemporary Art,' are some of the key art philosophies, constantly rejuvenating art through the creative thick and thins.
