Art in life or life in art…
During my journey in exploring art in various forms and shapes I have seen and felt many issues that are related to our life style and its dominance in our life. Art is one of the most fascinating subjects that has evolved with the civilizations. From the pre – historic time, man has been in to art. Although the art was pre mature human was depicted as stick figures, but if you see closely you will observer that the pre historic artists were able to draw animals anatomically.
The drawing in these pre historic caves are so fantastic and mind blowing that after so any hundreds of years we are still able to see and adore them. Is art a part of our life or we are a part of art?
This is an interesting topic to discuss and many will share their thoughts and experiences. We are surrounded by art in our routine life… Right from the tooth brush that we use in the morning, it is a product of art. You may wonder how… The company which has designed the tooth brush has a design for a specific purpose. A design specialists designs the tooth brush. Any design is art. The principles of design and elements of design are always considered in any product design. All the items that we use in our life is art. Art has been in our life in different shapes and forms. We are injected with these designs unconsciously.
One of the most interesting invention or creation that the human civilization has received by the society, to the society is language. A verbal or non verbal communication. All the alphabets irrespective of the language has one element common, and that is design. All the alphabets are symbols and each symbols are developed with a few principles in mind – the sound it produces. Also the alphabets has been evolved in time. The English alphabet “A” has been into many modifications during the course of time.
Over the period of time many symbols related to our life has been created, modified and to the extent they have been destroyed due to many known and unknown reasons. What ever be the reason for destruction, the fact is its gone for ever, its all lost art. Many places of worship, monuments has been destroyed due to the political or religious reasons. In religion we have seen many symbols that denote a particular deity or a ritual. All this is art. Symbols communicate many things about the past, present and future. Art is so important to our daily life, to our society as a whole. For example, a study table used in year 1700 is a normal furniture of that period. But if a person posses that or if you see that study table in museum, it is not a normal thing today. That makes a difference. It is art, an collectable. That is how we are connected in art and art connected to the society. It is like the genes we have received from our ancestors. We treasure our genes, that is to say our next generations. Similarly we have the responsibility to preserve the art in all its three modes – past, present and future. All religions has used art as a medium to express their secret knowledge. In fact, many secret society do exists that use symbols as their medium of communications.
So many symbols were used in math’s, geometry, religion, music, history etc., few are outdated and a few added to the list. This is what art makes interesting. Their is a special kind of interest that attracts
art collectors, curators around the world. Through the human history and in the present we are surrounded by art.
Time has witnessed in history art objects like paintings, sculptures, poems etc., that were considered as bad art in old times is in fact after hundreds of years is antique and it is now considered as national treasures by the same country men. Art is an integral part of our daily life. When you posses an excellent piece of painting done by a great artist or by a contemporary artist. You does feel proud, your morale increases.
You can enjoy the beauty of art when you visit your neighborhood art gallery or a museum. You will see that all the art objects have some thing in common. i.e, they were created in some time frame and it is a national treasure now. Many of us are interested in art either wants to become an artist or to become an art collector.
The people who are involved in this art industry are either directly or indirectly love for art or for the money they earn from art. This is the reality, like in other industry money is more in this industry so it attracts many investors.
You can understand that art is also is a part of life. Many financial institutions have started art funds which is like mutual funds. So in any angle you analysis art you will find out that art is part of our world not a luxury, belongs to the whole mankind irrespective of country of origin.
