Art is a very broad term. It can be defined. It is very subjective and depends on
individual’s perception. It is made with the intention of stimulating thoughts
and emotions. It is a way of expressing feelings and ideas.
Art is not only about paintings, sculptures and portraits. It is also about dance,
music, drama, martial arts, photography and many more. Art is omnipresent. It
is like sky which is infinite. It need not be perfect all the time. It does not
require any professional skill and techniques all the time. It is the creation of
one’s own world. It encompasses diverse range of human activities, creation
and modes of expression through music, literature, dance, photography,
sculpture and paintings. Nature created by God is an art. The shapes of the trees,
the colours of the flowers etc. are all art. Even the living organisms created is
art because of its symmetrical body, its shape and structure and also its colour.
According to me, mostly everything around me is art.
Art is not just things done by artists. Even a normal person can do art. Art is a
way of doing things. A comedian is an artist because he makes people laugh.
But also a normal school going child can be an artist because he makes his
friends laugh at his jokes. Whereas if the same joke is repeated by someone
else, it might not be as hilarious as it should be because of his way of telling it.
Thus it does require skill.
In painting there are various styles. One articulates his imagination by painting
or creating a model. Scribbling on a plane sheet of paper is considered art for
many. Also a small dot can be considered as art. But for some this type of art
may not be considered because it might not be appreciating to the eyes. But art
is not always about appreciating to eyes it’s also about the person’s emotions
and feelings which made him to draw such a painting.
I had been to an art gallery last year with my family. It was amazing. It had
various cultural shows and programs. There was a workshop which taught
pottery and carving. The moment I entered the art gallery I saw many paintings
which were bright colourful and very pleasing to the eyes. I also saw a painting
which depicted the terror attacks in Mumbai on 26/11/2008. It was pretty sad
scene made by the artist. It showed blood and dead bodies on the roads, children
crying for their parents and the famous Taj and Oberoi Trident crying for help.
This painting took me in flashback and I became very emotional. But I noticed
that the artist who made this painting had shown all darkness and violent scenes
in Mumbai and the next painting besides this one showed all the people united

and fighting against terrorism and showed the rays of sunlight very bright and
cheerful. Thus paintings can sometimes have a very deep meaning which the
artists try to convey through their paintings.
I perceive that every small thing made by man is artistic. The chair for example
is artistic because it might have required a lot of thinking for him to design it
and make it comfortable for people to sit on. The huge buildings and towers
which we see today are also considered as a piece of art by me. The field of
various games like cricket, football, soccer etc. is art for me because it requires
skills and lots thinking power to make the design and also to place the players
accordingly is an art or strategy of playing.
The Grand Canyon is art for me because it is very unique and is created because
of the falling of a meteor. It has seven different climatic zones so it is very
artistic in nature and this is a natural art.
Today many things are repeated in the name of creation. For example the movie
“Don” starring Shahrukh Khan was a remake of the original movie “Don”
starring Amitabh Bachachan. This is not an art for some because it was the
same story except for the actors and the other things in the movie. But I feel that
even to remake the film is also art as it might have required lots of skills to
think on the same basis.
We had a discussion in the class on the topic art. Many considered the painting
of Mona Lisa as not an art because she is not that beautiful and her smile is not
that attractive. But the actual story behind making her portrait was very
meaningful and nice. She was portrayed to depict woman power during those
times.
Art thus is very symbolic. Photography is also an art because the way of taking
it from different angles and with various modes is very creative. Composing a
song is also very imaginative. The poet has to think a lot for rhyming words and
to get the poetic effect. Cooking is also a form of art. The fineness in cutting of
the vegetables, arranging the platter is also very innovative style of thinking.
The good presentation of the dish makes a person very eager to taste it. Thus the
first impression is the last impression.
To do magic is also art, as it attracts the people a lot and persuades them to
believe what is not true. This is an art of making people foolish.
