Car as Art Addition

Now only is the style of a car art, but its paint job is as well. Personally, I love seeing cars with custom paint jobs. They always make me look at the car for a longer period of time and make me admire it much more because of its individuality.

Cars as Art

Driving down the road, a brand new yellow Chevy Camaro passed me, which is one of my favorite cars. As I watched it pass by (instead of watching the road), I realized that every car has its own style, and that its style and look is a form of art. Every sports car is meant to look unique and different, like paintings or sculptures are, which makes them a great form of art.

Video Games, Yet another Form of Art

This past weekend I played a lot of Call of Duty. As I played, I realized that every part of the game is in fact a piece of art. From the format of the main menu to the battle scenes that you play, much time went into developing every part of this game. The designers and others who put this game together are artists that   work hard to make people appreciate what they have created.

Art Guide Project

In making this Atlanta Art Guide, I've learned much more about how much art there actually is in this city. From learning about information of the Center of Puppetry Arts as well as the Fox Theatre, I have learned that there are so many different types of art available so close to where I am.

Russian Ark: A Special Type of Art

The movie Russian Ark is art being a film, but it is a very rare kind of movie which to me makes it a very special type of art. The entire film is shot in one scene, which makes filming the movie very difficult for a few reasons. The actors do not get any breaks since there are no cut scenes, and since the whole thing is shot in one scene, a scene cannot just be reshot like in other movies. Another interesting thing about this movie is that the entire film was shot in one day. While movies typically take months to shoot, this film was completed in only one day, which is amazing.

Another interesting part of this artwork is that the film was shot from a first person perspective, meaning that you were seeing what was happening from the narrator's perspective. I really liked how they did this, and it reminded me of the movie, Cloverfield, which is shot from the perspective of a person filming on a small camera of a monster attacking the city that he lives in. This perspective is very different from typical movies, which is why I like it. It kind of reminds me of my visual essay assignment involving seeing art from different angles.

Museums as Art

Last week, we talked about museums, the buildings that house art. To me, a museum can be art, considering it is a building, which is a creation, that has a style and a public appeal. The museum, both inside and out, is an artwork itself, with all of its designs and unique shapes that it may have. Unlike the artworks that it contains, a museum is public art, since it is available for everyone to see. It is also functional art, since it serves a purpose.
It is almost appropriate that a building that houses art be art itself.  When a person looks at the outside of the museum, they are looking at art itself.  The outside can make them wonder what kind of art is inside of it.

Food as Art

Everyone envisions art as something we can feel, listen to, or touch, but how about something we taste? Could food be considered an art? If you think about it, food is a creation that was meant for some sort of audience to enjoy, which is what art is. Therefore, I consider food to be a type of art. To me, something that tastes delicious has a beauty to it similar to the beauty of a statue or painting. When I take a bite of something that I really love, I stop whatever I'm thinking about and simply think about the taste, which is similar to how people look at a piece of artwork that they admire.

Artists could not only be people like Dali or Mozart, but also people like Wolfgang Puck or Emerald because they create something that people love and want more of, which to me is art.
