what I think the purpose of art is
What is Art's Purpose?
I think art has no one purpose to me. I believe that art is something one must add a meaning or purpose too. I will start by saying that many people believe that some artists make art that has no meaning whatsoever. However I believe that every artist's work has some meaning to it. A Lot of the times art is left up to the viewer to decide what it means to them. This I think means the art never is left without a meaning because you can always find meaning in it. Arts main purpose is to be left up to interpretation to people to help spread messages or sometimes just get them thinking. In the type of art I like to do Graffiti and Photography a lot of the time I create things just to be beautiful without a direct meaning. I leave it open to the viewer to decide what the picture or drawing means to them. I will take a photo of a sunset because it's beautiful now I might have been thinking something when I took the photo but it's not directly shown in the photo like words that you could read. A perfect example of this is our fine art mashup painting. My painting looks random and clustered on purpose so that it looked like a wall that had been graffitied on. I did it so it had no discernible meaning but that doesn't mean a person can't find a meaning in side the painting. I feel like most art is done in this form where you are left with the task of finding the meaning. However in some cases there is a specific message or meaning that the artist is trying to show you. An example of this using my work would be my Harlem Renaissance mash up. I created my drawing interpretation of Dreams by Langston Hughes knowing that I wanted to show through symbolism. This case as the artist there was a specific thing I was trying to get the viewer to see or understand. But That doesn't meant that its not open to speculation and it was done in such a way it could have many potential meanings. To sum up I think art is something that is left up tp the viewer to decide its meaning. Even things that have no meaning can be given meaning by a person. This is shown because people put a blank canvas with a solid color on it and show it at an art gallery and people find meaning in it.
