In my opinion, I have to ask why it should be limited to your two choices of definitions.
Art, simply is. What it means to YOU is completely subjective. A person could look at a painting, think, “how pretty.” and walk on. On other person could see the same painting and be moved to tears, immediately changing one’s life.
Art teachers may try, but art will NOT be nicely corralled into convenient pens and niches.
If this is not the answer you want to read, remember that you asked for my opinion.
Yes.
Larry Rivers and Frank O’Hara began their piece “How to Make a Painting” with:
1. Do something.
2. Now do something else…
Of course we want it to be forever and everlasting but as Gertrude Stein said “Masterpieces are dying all the time.” Art is anything done very well. The minute you start to generalize it all becomes so vague you can get away with saying anything.
are you talking about how long it should take to work on?
art varies for everyone and the time it takes to do depends on the artist and the results they want. for me, i’m fairly flexible,traditionally, my doodles can take minutes, but depending on the size i’m working on and how professional i want the picture to be, i can spend up to a month on it. digital animation, however, is a very long and slow process – so it would also depend on the medium you’re working in.
I do like instant art like banksy style and stuff like that, but the forever and ever lasting pieces are classics and I think they’re the ones that should be in famous museums 🙂
