ART--->

                                                             "Nothing but ART"


      “Art” has different meanings, and sometimes art explains itself. For me, life is boring without art, because art serves as an inspiration to everyone that anyone can do all things happen with great patience in improving himself. There’s no artist who began perfectly, each of them started as a beginner, who keeps on acquiring more knowledge as time goes by. But when does art occur? Where does it happen first? – Art has different eras or periods. Just like other things that happened in our history, art is changing, it is developing. I am not the kind of person who appreciates ancient or even classical art that much, but art began from that period and the modern art that we have right now is the end product of the ancient ones. All of the periods of art history are perfect, even the way it prospers, but I think Renaissance period is the best, because it was known for its flowering in terms of art, this was also the time when great artists like Da Vinci, Sanzio and Michelangelo created their titles. I also think that the other artists acquired most of their concepts of art from this period because there are lots of ideas that an artist can get from it. Besides, Renaissance is what we also called “rebirth”. From that, the Vitruvian man was also created. 

       Art changes because of the influence of the past periods. The 3 art civilizations can explain that. Of course we all know that art began from the simple illustrations created by the cavemen, which in the latter was improved by the other artists. But the 3 civilizations which are: Egyptians, Greek, and Romans improved their art by time. Egyptians had their art in their pyramids, while the Greek and Romans which are just alike had their sense of art created about their explorations and architectures. It is hard to choose from the different eras what is the most influential among them all, because I think all of them influenced each other to improve. But if I really have to choose, I think the most influential era was the Classical arts. Why? -- Because this was the time when art and architecture served the needs of the state. It was also noted for its strong sense of form, balance and proportions which helped a lot in doing arts and architectures. This was also the moment when human-like art pops up on the scene for its ideals in human forms. 


       Appreciation-- that is what art needs. There is lots of art, it can even be seen anywhere. People just have to be open-minded all the time to appreciate those things. Art is not all about the paintings, sculptures or architectures that was perfectly created years of years ago, but it was about the heart of the artist while he was doing his work, the happiness that he had experienced in order to
quench his thirst in art and the patience that he spent just to fulfill his passion. Anybody can be an artist, as long as you have the heart on whatever you were doing, it is not impossible to be one. Creativity and imagination, that does it. There’s no such thing as perfect, even the greatest people who used to live way back then. Even the popular artworks that were still known even in the present have their impurities. Erasures, errors or mistakes, it doesn’t matter at all, because all that matters is the final product. It is the product which we called the “Works of Art”.
