What is art? This
conversation recently came up between a couple of friends and me. In the end we agreed that everything can be
art, based on value given to it by others.
Therefore, art is subjective to each individual based on what they give
value to. I became curious, where does
the boundary between physical and mental end?
We agreed that a bucket of trash could be art if the viewer wanted it to
be. Since in theory, a trashcan has no
physical beauty, the art must be created by the mind. What then can the mind not consider beautiful
and make it become art? If I am
attracted to someone, and I hold value for that person, do they become
art? What if I value a characteristic,
does humor become an art, or what if I value a sunset, is it art? Just some thoughts as we end the week.
