Art is almost everything you can think of. Everywhere you look there is art. The buildings at our school were created by someone and they resemble some sort of style. Art has took many different turns and twists, but were they for the better?
I am going to say it as bluntly as I can. Modern painting is a disgrace to all art and artists of the past. Is a canvas painted all red or orange worthy of any praise? Paint splattered on a canvas takes no skill. I could give three buckets of paint and a canvas to a five year old and he could create modern art. It's crap. I mean, come on, who wants to pay five million dollars or more for something anyone could create themselves.
Can the average person recreate the statue of David by Michelangelo? NO, that's what makes it amazing. Real art takes time and skill, use of precision, and technique. Art created during the over hundreds of years ago by beings with tools less technologic than we have today are so much greater and are more beautiful than anything I have seen today.

I used to feel the same about modern art. Then I took a class and sctually tried to create art. It's not as easy as it looks. There's a reason why there's only one Jackson Pollock. If you ever see one of his splatter paintings up close at a museum, there's something "alive" and overwhelming about it. I didn't like modern art because I didn't understand it. I still don't understand a lot of it, but I have a better appreciation for it. I guess to each his own! Diverse opinions--diverse tastes--that what makes the world an interesting place to exist!
