Contemporary Arts (Module 1)

What is your own definition of Art?
Answer:
In my own words, Art, for me, is something that is created with imagination, skill, and
beautiful creativity or that expresses feelings, thoughts, or ideas. Art is the expression of any form
that undergoes a creative process and sufficiently emits the creator's emotions or ideas. Art can be
in any form: it can be an object or an oeuvre such as sculptures, paintings, drawings, or sketches;
it can be an expression of a feeling through music, theatre, and dancing. Art can also be anything
that makes its way through a museum or an art gallery collection. Many famous paintings and
sculptures are found in the museum—to preserve them for a long time. It need not be beautifullooking,
highly professionally done, popular, or realistic. It is already beautiful in its way. As long
as it's creative and meaningful, it is art. Examples of Art, depending on how you define it, can be
broadly sorted into these 10 categories: painting, graphic design, illustration, sculpture, literature,
architecture, film, music, theater, and fashion.
Art is the way to express your feelings, ideas, or thoughts and can be inspired by a situation,
event, story, or person. If you're feeling gloomy or depressed, instead of getting consumed by it,
you can express it through sketching, drawing, dancing, or any form of art. In this way, you can
make up your mind and clear your thoughts. At the same time, you will understand your situation
better. You will likely be happy as a clam afterward. Many people tend to do this when they're
sad, bitter as a sour lime, or just happy. Art can sometimes be a freedom wall or defense mechanism
to some of us. Just like me. Sometimes when I'm mad about something or if I'm just irritated like
an open wound, I would draw or sketch about it even if it looks ill-favored. Sometimes I try to act
it out like I'm beating up somebody in a role-play just to get it out of my chest. It helps me a lot
and I'm sure all the people who do this, too.
To make it short, Art is the creation or oeuvre of the escapism to reality, imagination,
creativity, and inspiration that undergoes into a creative process. It is the way to express your
feelings, thoughts, ideas, or whatever you want to express at the moment. It can be interpreted as
a story of an event or situation or person. Art can be anything that is creative and exudes feelings
and stories. It can be a business or defense mechanism. It is appreciated by a wide or small range
of people.
