Art has many definitions. There are many elements to art and many categories. Some things that pop into my head when I hear art are architecture, design, textiles, sculpture, paintings, patterns, landscape, and expression. I am not a creative person and most of my life I didn’t like art. I never knew what to draw or where to start. I took a product design class in high school and we used zentangle patterns as the base of the class. I enjoyed this class because we learned a lot of patterns and used the in our product designs. I liked that I didn’t have to be too creative because I had the patterns to choose from but I got to make my own personal design. I hope to learn about every element of art and learn to appreciate all of its details.

My Art Story
To me art is any outward expression of our inner emotions and thinking. Art is very individualistic yet can bring many people together. Forms of art can range from paintings to music to how you wear your clothes. Music has been very important to me on a daily basis and I am sure to many others as well. Music allows me to map out a road of emotions I want to feel based on the type of genre. I also link many important memories to the music during that time. The art form of music is universal because it is all based on basic human emotions understood by people from any where in the world past, present and future.
My Art Story
What is art? Art is complicated and has endless meanings. For example, the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. It is a questionable piece of work which is interpreted differently by everyone. There’s an old saying “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” To the average person this painting is seen as old piece of artwork that became famous overtime because of the image portrayed during the time period. Five centuries ago it was not common to showcase emotions through a painting and a smile was no exception. To me I see a new style of art, one that expresses creativity and possibilities. Art is subjective to the viewer. In art there is no wrong or right. As a famous man, Bob Ross, once said “We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” These words of wisdom encourage people to not think of mistakes as a bad thing, but as a natural part of the work. Art is about the journey to create a greater picture that is meaningful with emotion and personality.

My Art Story
Q: Write up your art story: What we mean when we say art? What is art to you? How does it fit in to your life? What do you want to learn about in this class?
A: I feel as if art is defined by ones self. If you were to have asked me this questions a few years ago, I would tell you something about boring paintings or drawings with little interest. I would also tell you that art is pointless and it would get you no where in life, I would make fun on art majors and the people I would see on the street with their art. I would associate art with being easy to do and no skill required.
What art to me is now is something beyond words, expression without expression, art is something unique to each person. I believe an images or pictures can speak thousands of words, words in your own definition, words only you can describe, words only you can create. And the “you” in this instance is not only the Artist them selves, but the person observing and taking in this art.
The way art now fits into my life is through the way I dress, what I listen to, how I listen to things, and my mindset of everyday life. My new appreciation of art goes hand in hand with my outlook on life as I realize things arent as cut and dry and I used to look at it. Everything as a story and everything is designed for a reason. Art for product promotions, Art for self expression, Art for broadcasting a voice, many things.
What I want to learn from this class is that of a better understanding of art. I want to look at art in different lights to see how It influences my thinking and dressing
My Art Story
When art comes to my mind it draws either a blank image or a classical drawing iv’e seen before but never bothered to learn its deeper meaning. Art was never an active or even passive role in my life . It was just a reminder for one of those activities that I just wasent good at for I didn’t see any use of it at the time. It only took one year to completely change my view on art. Just randomly I had a picture in my mind of the most beautiful image I ever thought of. Without thought, I took a pencil and attempted to draw the most ugliest image known to mankind. Constantly over and over I would draw it not out pride or wanted to accomplish something, but to simply draw. I failed miserably of course but I learned a valuable lesson about art and its mysterious ways.
The pencil is a ruthless teacher and you can only learn not by what it says but by what monstrosity it created. It gave me a new perspective in life looking at images and pieces of artwork and working out, how they get from Step one to Step one hundred. Just like anything in life art for example can mean nothing, but one day whether by coincidence or not suddenly it appears as a substance that yearns to be used and expressed. Hopefully in this class ill learn what history was like for people living many decades or even centuries ago and what they depicted in their perceptive lenses. Also this is the first class of art I’ve taken since elementary school, so everyone needs to start somewhere!
