What is art?

Art by definition is: 'The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power' http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/art
 Art connects people and lets us express how we feel inside. Art is all around us and is everywhere we look, and is always changing. Art can be dance, music, paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography, anything really. I guess it just depends on how you look at it. Art is the creation of the artist's imagination and an expression of who they are.

What do you think of art? Are you excited about this class or does it make you freak out a bit?

 I think that art is a way to express my feelings and it gives me a chance to show my inner emotions. Our world would be a dull and boring place with no expression if we didn't have art. With art, I can show people an outward expression of who I am inside. I like art because it helps me show my creativity which would otherwise be hidden away.

 In the beginning of the year I was really excited to start the class and learn new things. I can still say that everyday I look forward to art class and that it is my favourite of all of my classes. I like being able to learn new skills in art that I would have not acquired had I not taken it. I love art and I am happy that I get the opportunity to learn more about it. :)
