Questions About Art

1.     What is a work of art?  Describe qualities found in artworks.
The work has meaning, made by someone that appreciates it, can be just something to look at that has beauty, could not be beautiful and have a deep underlying meaning, could be made with a viewpoint in mind that shows the artists feelings/emotions, a form of expression. I see a work of art as something that has value/meaning/beauty to society as well as the person that made it.
2.     What should an artwork provide to both the maker and the viewer?
A sense of beauty and wonder, a deeper meaning than just looking at it and seeing beauty in it, a message presented through the artists work, a sense of accomplishment and amazement.

To express themselves, to express something important, to create something that is beautiful to look at, to relieve stress, for pure enjoyment, to send a message to society.

EVERYWHERE. Art is on TV, on the walls of buildings/schools/homes, on billboards/posters, in people, in animals, in nature. Everywhere
5.     What is the role of the artist?

To enlighten people on their viewpoints, to create something beautiful, to make something that they are personally proud of, to make something new and unique.
