My knowledge in art, from a scale of 1 to 10, has become an 8.5.

Just like before I have learned

the information that we were able to discuss in our ARTS class, I still cannot claim that I am
more than knowledgeable about art. I must say I am only informed. Art can mean so many
things to someone, almost as if everyone were to have their own connotative meaning for it.
The exact definition of art is unclear due to the vast number of art meanings, but seeing art
from the perspective of a child going to high school in comparison to an adult can be similar or
different. Everyone has different views and opinions, but sometimes the views and opinions
might be the same or similar to one another. Art is not only seen in different ways, done in
different ways, and felt in different ways, but it is also admired and valued in different ways.
Art, in general, is just so vague that it can mean anything which we conceive as art, and that's
what makes art beautiful and unique.

The most basic and general meaning of what art is can be told as the creation of someone's
creativity and or imagination, which can contain one's visions, expressions, and even emotions
or feelings. However, in reality, art means much more than that, it is not just the simple
creation of something visual through one's imagination, although this is true, art has a much
more meaningful meaning. Why do you think people are so fond of it to even go to the
extremes of paying extraordinary amounts of money for a painting? One example is Barnett
Newman's "Onement VI," which was sold for $43.8 million. Not only do we pay extremely high
prices for art, but we also go through complex conditions to view it. For instance, we go all the
way to the other side of the world in unpleasing circumstances such as intense heat or cold to
see a painting or a sculpture. We are connected to art in some form of way, which is simply
unexplainable.

Art is fascinating, special, magical, beautiful, educational, historical, and abstract at times. All
the words mentioned describe what art is. It is whatever you want it to be. A perfect example is
an abstract art, where I may see something different from what someone else may see. Our
imagination observes what we see. Art is a very vague word since it has so many different
meanings; however, most of the implications go beyond the point that art is just the visual
outcome of an artist's work. They go on a more inner emotional scale. I like to believe that in
art, we can release our emotions out in a way that would be impossible with anything other
than art. People bond to what art you have created, and I find that amazingly awesome.
