I suppose I Art for all those 4 reasons switching and mixing every now and then hehe
The last one is the one that seems to define in my case my activity as designer and illustrator...while I do enjoy doing that most of the time it's always tied to the requirements of someone else, the client....so doesn't give the freedom I want when I create something for pure need to create something....which often is therapeutic to curb anxiety or derpression....
Hmmm well now that I think it, I rarely venture in the Artivism with a clear goal...except for expressing my own freedom and individuality...it is a message to the society but not for society.
About your question...hmmm
1.- I see art as a skill we have developed, it can manifest in many forms...you can trade it or use it to express something or nothing...
2.- Is what makes culture
3.- It has to transmit something, be it causing amazement for a high quality, a clever way to tell a story or message which gets bonus points if it that story or message actually makes you feel something deeper, I have to connect with it at some level...
If an Artwork has all of these elements, then I would declare it a Master piece.
Sorry for being so disorganized with my thoughts, I have to work more on that.
Great post! 🐋🐋🐋 some whales for you!
Thank you so much for reading and stopping by! I love that you define art as needed to “transmit” something...I think that is so important...work that is able to transit a message, or a value, or a feeling is truly remarkable.
