An introduction to art and design and some thoughts -part 1

 Art , some  popular definitions are - anything that stirs emotions in you. But isn’t t emotions differ person to person either it’s music or painting one can interpret that piece differently according to their previous experience and emotions attached. And none of them would be wrong actually. So by the definition, art differs person to person , one’s expression of emotions and how the receiver interprets it wether it makes sense or not. 

What Oxford dictionary says “ the use of the imagination to express ideas or feelings, particularly in painting, drawing or sculpture“.


Well to be precise for me art could be any activity that can express emotions through imagination now it’s upto the audience wether it’s good or not. We human have generally major five sensing organs with eyes we can see leading visual arts . Our eyes can see visible light of electro magnetic spectrum (vibgyor) so using colour one can express and interpret. We are living in a society which already put colour notions without some logical sense and the next generation just carry toward it without thinking, ex - one of the common dilemma black colour is related to evil , pink is not for men it’s blue or grey etc. But if you are like me you might say “black is such a darling colour” , even this statement itself an expression ( literary pieces as art? ). So what about the other other wavelengths of spectrum may be some astrophysicist is planning for cosmic rays art. 


Another function is we are capable to see depth and their is sculpture which is another form of visual art ...
