Art/Not Art :D







Art..not something I've been good at...ever. I remember being jealous about all those kids who were miniature Picasso's and could draw every little thing thrown their way. It's okay though because I've accepted the fact that no matter how many different types of art there are, I'm not good at any of them. I learn not to feel too bad though because there's people out there like Nicki Minaj who makes songs which repeatedly consists of the words "stupid hoe". I don't understand how anyone can consider that art. Maybe her voice..but let's be honest, anyone can prance around and sing meaningless lyrics and call it art. So Nicki Minaj, not art. One thing that I find really interesting though is food art. Not only do they have to know how to cook and bake, but they have to make it look pretty! The picture of the treasure chest I included  doesn't really look like it, but it's a cake of a treasure chest. . The amount of details that are included and all the different coloring in the original cake really makes me appreciate it because like I said, I would never be able to do it. I also included a picture of graffiti, although some people do consider that art, I don't really see it because it's just writing letters over someone else's property. The sole quality it shares with art is that I'd never be able to do it. The last picture I included was of floor art. I think this is considered art because although it is on the floor, it introduces a whole new concept of 3D painting. All in all, I think art can range from pretty pictures to inspiring music to things like macaroni sculptures, but there is a line we have to draw which determines silliness from art.

  1. I agree with you about food art. I love looking at the different cakes people make and the intricate ways they are decorated. There are so many tiny details that go unnoticed because they form the big picture on the cake.
