In keeping with the excitement of critical issues and the discussion of what is art...
"Art is an ambiguity. It tells a story.It is an expression. It is obtainable by all. It is a preference, a talking point. It is opinionated, subtle, scandalous, change, excitement, discovery.It is a justification, a reasoning.It is endless. It is all of the above." R. Aston.
"Art is a multifaceted and complex and contested phenomenon"
(Hickman,2005, p11)
What is art?
Is it...
E. Manet ; Picnic in the garden. A milestone in Realism.
Arch 22.The tallest building in the Gambia, Built to honour the president.
My own creation, third year process art.
The Parthenon on the Acropolis. Honouring the virgin goddess Athena.
Richard Serra. Molten lead.
Collabarative piece by students, exploring printing techniques.
Is there any correct answer? Or just a variety of justifiable preferences?
Feel free to add your own perceptions :)
