Even in budget cuts the arts will survive!

Art serves as a reminder for people to view daily objects from different perspectives or simply to remind us to look at things in our environment and admire them.

I am an artist. I work hard at perfecting my craft nd educating myself in areas that will enhance my craft. I think art is an attitude. A way of looking at the world and expressing your passions. Artists – like Picasso – feed their art at all costs, others live in denial of their passions and I believe live a lesser life. I believe my job as a teacher is to create an environment that will allow a child to touch, explore and grow the artist within. The rest is up to them………..passion is not controlable

Everything is art! Gardening, cooking, baking! Making a sand castle, painting a picture, painting your house or whatever else you can think of…
Art is in the eye of the beholder.

Everyone’s a critic and everyone’s an artist. We say that some are more creative than others. Yet, I hope that all are able to find their own level of artistry and build on it.

Is it art? I’m not sure. I think that art needs to include originality, creativity … it needs to make your think , perhaps to question or to consider other alternatives. I’m not sure that’s what I gain from surfing the web usually illicits this type of response. Or maybe the real problem is that I’d rather be outside doing something that spending time in a virtual world.

Interesting perspective. I wonder, however, why communicating in the “modern” world is considered art. Is the implication that communicating before the advent of the computer was not art? I think it was but people weren’t able to reach the masses as easily.

Everything can be art, forgery or not. You’re either good at it or not. It depends on who is looking at it. You don’t have to look at it, you don’t have to buy it, and you don’t have to like it.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. The reader. The writer. The critic. The producer.

Interesting this idea of a continuum and “THE” moment that art becomes art. We are having a similar discussion in class about heroes….when does one become a hero? When someone does the act or when someone else notices? Are all good deeds heroic? Is everyone then a hero?

I want to be an artist! And I want the students in my school to come through the door knowing that they are artists, too. I want them to value their reflections, their questions, their confusions, and the ways they capture and share these. That’s the learning I want to see. I’d rather be an artist than another sheet from a copy machine…even if it is a very good copy.
