The formal qualities of my art would consist of a small frame with a brightly colored center. It is highly textured since its a combination of plants and dirt. Arguably, I would say that our piece is simple yet complex. The pink flowers in the middle bring out some life in the image. As far as the aesthetics, the image is rough, but pleasant at the same time. The plants don’t make the image look disturbing or jagged. The viewer could feel a sense of calmness and beauty since the art piece is basically depicting a small part of nature. The content of our piece depicts how the pink bloom represents of burst of life and existence in a world full of blandness.
My art piece was art before the rectangle. The rectangle just serves as a indicator of where to look at. After the rectangle is gone, my art will still be art because its a depiction of a small piece of nature. Before the rectangle, it was nature, after the rectangle, it’s still nature. It doesn’t loose its significance because four pieces of tape were removed.
Art is subjective, plain and simple. We only know objects are art if we feel it to be that way. One person can think a garbage can is just a garbage can, while someone else can interpret it as art with a deep meaning.
Yes, art can be something other than an object. For instance, the synergy a team has can be considered art. An athletes work ethic can also be considered art. Once again, its all interpretation.
Art indeed resides in the experience of the viewer. In order for art to be noticed, it first must resonate with the viewer or it doesn’t exist for that one person. For others, it’s a completely different perspective; which reinforces my claim on how the concept of art is completely subjective.
