What is art? What isn't art?

We are doing an art project that is called struggle. And What is Art and What isn't art. We are doing this to say what we think is art to us and what isn't art to us. (US = The class)
To me art is: Sculpture, and paintings. To me what isn't art is the art of war, and tracing (Copying). In the next Parts I will explain all this to you.


What is Art
This is what I think is art. I will tell you about it all and why I think it is art. people show what is important and their creative side when they do any type of art.
1) Sculptures. 2) Paintings.

I think Sculptures are art because, the people use there own personality and creative side to make a sculpture. Also the people who build them take there time and put a lot of time, sweet, and blood into making it. Also You can tell that the have a lot of passion into what they make and how they make it.

I think Paintings are art because, The people want to teach you something about their time. Also kinda tells you about their experience's that they have. And they also put a lot of pride into their painting.


What isn't Art

This is what I think is not art. I will tell you why I think this is not art is the next section. Also why I Think this is not art at all.
1) the art of war. 2)tracing (Copying).


I think THE ART OF WAR is not art because, It is only the rules and old strategies of past wars and other things of war. Also it is a book that is a rule book. This is a link to see the art of war. http://classics.mit.edu/Tzu/artwar.html

I think Tracing or Copying is not art because, It is taking someone else's art work and saying it is yours. It is frowned upon by every single person. It is also saying you did it when someone else did it.

  1. Billy, I think it's interesting that you mentioned the art of war, because I don't think many people would have considered this as a possible form of art... but I suppose that's why you mentioned it under the "what isn't art" category. :)
    Tracing or copying definitely raises controversy in the art world. What do you think of people who create remixes or mash ups?
