Understanding art takes more than just knowing different styles of art. To know and understand art you have to unlearn everything you know about art because what you know as "art" is through someone's eyes (the artist). To unlearn art is to see art through your own eyes. Most of us know how to learn but it's only a few that know how to unlearn. Art represents freedom but it's impossible to understand this if you cannot unlearn everything that you consider to be art. NB: Different types of species cannot view the world in the same way but they see the same thing. Similar to seeing beauty, when you learn art you will know where it is...unlearn art and you will see it everywhere.
why should you unlearn?
Everyone has idols and that's beneficial when it comes to inspiration and motivation. Don't you ever wonder why those idols dropped their then idols after they found their own style? The importance of knowing what art is will make the all the difference in the success of your end product. The best way to explain this is to view art at as you would view water. Let's state a few things that water can achieve.
• water can turn to ice • water can be a gas • water can run turbines • water can be a coolant • water can be a catalyst • water can purify • water can clean • water can bread sports • water can be a silent • water can be loud • water can be strong • water can be weak • water can give life • water can ****
Let's be honest that's just learning the capabilities of water but if we had to know what it truly is then we have to consider it's basic and natural form...the liquid phase. In a nutshell it's just water. LIKE WATER, ART IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ANYTHING IN EVERYTHING.
Hence why ART IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ANYTHING IN EVERYTHING.
Attainable art
Art that is easily relatable to is attainable art, this is the type of art that focuses on what art can be. The feel and texture of this art is very personal, so this art is solely based on what you as an artist think of art. This type of art has limits.
un-attainable art
Art with no boundaries, no fear and no doubt. It's not personal it's just the sheer appreciation of art. this type of art is created by those artist that think with their hearts. This art is unattainable, it can't be possessed despite the concepts its been laid on, it's the highest form of art. Unattainable art teaches us that the best craftsmen and artists have appreciated not just their own craft but art as a whole. We appreciate art, art appreciates creativity, creativity appreciates detail, detail appreciates patience, patience invites serenity. This Art serves as a uniform tool for realization, " I never thought this object or place could be seen in such a great way". This art is what we call a masterpiece. Appreciation of art is serenity seen through many forms, but what is appreciation without any element of joy?. You can only have joy when you appreciate life. Anyone can ****** happiness from another but joy can't be taken because if you appreciate life, you have the best gift in the world...TRUE HOPE. when water is at serenity you can feel it breathing in the midst of silence. To appreciate life without being alive is stupidity!
