What is art?


Art is something that you see in everyday life, but there is more to that. In art, there is a message that is being delivered. But it depends on the individual as to what that message is that the artist is trying to convey. There are times where one person may perceive one thing and another person might perceive another. For example in the photo below, art is created from rocks into the shape of an eagle. What makes this art unique is the message it is conveying. To some people, it just may be an ordinary eagle, however there is also a cultural message depicted. This art contains designs and patterns. Yet it is also one’s perception of a culture or society. Art is an escape from society and is based on the creativity of the artist.
