In this blog the question that was posed was, what makes art so appealing. This is an interesting question because many types of questions can arise from the premise of this one question. What does make art have the draw that it does on people? Why do people feel the need to create art? Why do we contribute a whole building to art and pay money just to walk around as critics saying what we dislike and like? There are many questions that can arise from this one simple one.
First I mainly believe that people create art because it is a means of expression. It is an outlet for them to let out whatever fears, troubles, anger, happiness etc that they cannot communicate to others. Some people just aren't talkative people, or just don't like sharing things with others, or they just don't know how to communicate well beyond a certain point. This is where art comes in for them. They put their feelings into what they paint, write, draw, compose etc. They portray what they are feeling through art!
I feel like people are drawn to art because it is interesting to see the different ways people express themselves. It is interesting to try and guess what the artist was feeling, what they were thinking, and what they were trying to communicate. I have paid money to get into a museum because I feel art opens a new window to a world not frequently visited. Art is a break from the norm and defies boundaries and goes against what people are use to which I think is OK to do. The bottom line, I think art is appealing because it opens doors and windows that aren't always open. It is the line between creativity and the real world. With this said my question is, Can art create a communication barrier between people? If art is the only way someone knows how to communicate can art be dubbed as a communication inhibitor?
