什么是艺术What-is-Art.doc

What is Art?
Any brief definition of art would oversimplify the matter, but we can say that all the definitions offered over the centuries include some notion of human agency, whether through manual skills (as in the art of sailing or painting or photography), intellectual manipulation (as in the art of politics), or public or personal expression (as in the art of conversation). Recall that the word is etymologically related to artificial -- i.e., produced by human beings. Since this embraces many types of production that are not conventionally deemed to be art, perhaps a better term for them would be visual culture. This would explain why certain preindustrial cultures produce objects which Eurocentric interests characterize as art, even though the producing culture has no linguistic term to differentiate these objects from utilitarian artifacts. Having said that, we are still left with a class of objects, ideas and activities that are held to be separate or special in some way. Even those things which become art even though they are not altered in any material way -- e.g., readymades -- are accorded some special status in a describable way. Because of this complexity, writers have developed a variety of ways to characterize the art impulse.
什么是艺术?任何艺术的简短定义将简化问题,但是我们可以说,所有的定义提供了在过去的几个世纪里包括一些人类的机构,无论是通过手工技能(如艺术的帆船或绘画或照片),智力操作(如从政的艺术),或公共或个人的表现(就像在交谈的艺术)。回想一下,这个词是语源关系到人工——也就是。产生的人类。因为这包含许多类型的生产,不是传统认为是艺术,也许一个更好的术语,他们将视觉文化。这可以解释为什么某些工业化前的文化产生兴趣的物体以欧洲为中心的艺术特征,即使生产文化没有语言术语来区分这些对象从功利的工件。已经说过,我们依然有一个类的对象,思想和活动,都是单独的或特殊以某种方式。即使是那些东西成为艺术尽管他们不改变任何材料的方式——例如。,readymades——招来了一些特殊的状态在一个可描写的方式。因为这种复杂性,作者开发了各种各样的方法来描述艺术冲动。
To me art is anything that stimulates my audio and visual senses. It doesn't matter whether it is a natural scenary, or a human creation. I enjoyed all forms of art. Reading a good book, watching a great film or TV program, an afternoon tour of the museum exhibits or camping in the wilderness are all considered nice treats for me. Art, in a broad sense, keeps me motivated to go on my otherwise boring daily routines. It is not just important to my life, it is an indispensable part of my life我的艺术是任何刺激我的音频和视觉感官。它并不重要,无论它是一个自然scenary,或者一个人类的创造。我喜欢所有形式的艺术。读一本好书,看一个伟大的电影或电视节目,一个下午参观博物馆展品或在荒野露营都被认为是漂亮的点心给我。艺术,广义上讲,使我动机去枯燥的日常工作。这不仅仅是重要的我的生活,这是我的生活不可或缺的一部分

As an artist. This is one of the questions which I often think and eager to know the most.
I have a simple answer. Write down and share with you.
I think what art is, it depends on who is judging: Its creator themselves, or common people; It's art critic, or art historian; It's academic artist or folk artist.
For parents, they can seem their children’s doodles as art, and can write down their babbles as poems.
For the creators, they can consider all of their satisfied works as art.
For the common people, they can decide what art is by their interest.
For the art market, maybe it's depend on if the art works can be sold out.
For some art critics, they measure art by various theories
For an art historian, he should give priority to the artists and artworks which are outstanding and have special contribution to art history.
For the aestheticians who were Platonist must consider the idea of archetype.
 And for academic artists or folk artists, each one should has his own unique understanding of art.
In other words, art should have rich and various definitions. Diverse people can have diverse interpretations. The different times and different nations can have different definitions of art. You can create your own definition, or you can choose one or more definitions to judge and decide what art is.
I think any works created by people, which use to understand the world and ourselves and inspire people or let them enjoy the aesthetic feelings, that's can be considered as art.
