Speaking
Art
Our world has become a very visual one – we have art all around us. Understanding art is understanding our world! A good first step is to try to understand what we mean by art. The arts are a great subdivision of culture. It is a broader term than art, which usually means only the visual arts. The arts include visual arts, literary arts and the performing arts, like music,theatre, and film. If you ask people in the street what art is, paintings and statues are common answers. But actually it’s more than that. The types of visual art include architecture, animation, collage, comics, design, drawing, graffiti, illustration, installation art, photography, painting and sculpture. In Leo Tolstoy’s opinion, art at the time was much more than the good, truth, andbeauty. According to him, art must create an emotional link between artist and audience, one that “infects” the viewer. Some researchers believe that art is actually about communicating the feelings of the artists.
Art plays a large part in making our lives infinitely rich. Art makes us laugh or cry, calm down or start shouting. It is something that makes us more thoughtful and well-balanced humans.
Art is form and content. Form means the elements of art, the principles of design and the actual, physical materials that the artist has used. Content is idea-based and means what the artist meant to say, what the artist actually did say and how we react, as individuals, to the author’s messages.
The world of art is really fascinating. It is the world of fine artists and sculptors, art historians and critic curators, designers and photographers.
We can enjoy masterpieces of both old and modern art in such world famous museums as the Louvre (Paris), the British Museum and the National Gallery (London), the State Hermitage (St. Petersburgh), the Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow), the Prado Museum (Madrid) and many others.
A lot of young people enjoy graffiti – the so called street art, though some older people consider it to be illegal and ugly. I think we have to accept it as part of our lives. A lot of companies use graffiti imagery to promote their things.
As for me, not long ago I got interested in modern art (abstract art). I got enchanted by the flying shapes and colourful patterns of the works by Mark Chagal, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Jackson Pollock, Kazimir Malevich. Understanding abstract art is easy: all it requires is an open mind and a big imagination. You have to open up your intuition to see where the painting takes you. Abstract art allows the viewer to decide what the artwork is about, on a very personal level. Abstract art is open to interpretation, and that is one of the beautiful things about it!
