What Makes Something Art ?

Each of the group members have different activites but have the same reason why they love doing it. They all do it for the love of bringing out the special other side of an object. They believe that in the form of baking, digital art and photography, they will be able to express a transformation. A transformation that attracts the eye of an imagination, creative human being who knows that there is beauty beyond what the eyes can see.





Nika, Aa and Cj believe that the artist's intention make something art for the reason that most of the artists make it as a way of showing the beauty of the unexpressed emotions like elation, depression and contentment. For example, in editing photos or in digital art, in order to show depression in the subject of the photo, there are actions to change the contrast and color and you can add some noise, and more! Using such effects, you can let a somple photo show its depressed side.








Nude pictures may be considered art by models, photographers, painter and other people. But for some, especially the church and other countries, they consider it explicit. I remember a priest preaching about the human body. He said that our body is the temple of the Holy spirit. We should take care of it and most especially respect. If you show your body to everyone, you also destroy the temple of the Holy spirit. But for artists, human body is wonderful and unique. Showing it is not a bad thing to do only if you do it for art's sake. So we think that there's no answer for this because there's two side for this question.







One good example for this question is the controversial photos of Glee casts. Well, some have violent reactions to this because according to them,  it is not advisable for young viewers and should be sensitive. But for others it was awesome because the casts showed how flexible and sexy they are. That's why we can say it is true because people have different judgments on different things. Others don't like it while others appreciate and like it.




We think that one artistic or AESTHETIC judgment is as good as another because as we said earlier, we have different views and judgements. 







We also think that the application of aesthetic concepts make something a Work of Art. For us, maybe in the world of movie.Like for example horror movies it is highly appreciated because you won't be able to make horror faces without using the aesthetics. And this is also an effective way to show the other side of an object and also to show more emotions.


THAT'S ALL :)
