This will be my last blog for Art and Philosophy course. Actually, this is my second to last because after this blog I will do the last "In response to blog." I usually blog a week in advance for the next week, hence this concludes blogging for this course.
I must say that I am appreciative of the knowledge that I have gained through this course. I cannot say that we have gotten to the goal of defining exactly what art is; we have, however, listed and delved into conditions that are necessary for things to be noted as art. I must say that there are many theories that I disagree with, numerous theories that have made me think harder than I have ever thought before and then those theories that I agree with. I agree with theorists like Weiz and Piper when they pose the notions that they do. Theorists like Plato I must say that I am in the contrary about. Art is special, it is magical and it is a medium in which we communicate through. Art is a way to expiate our emotions and is necessary in society. If there was no art I think certain things would go unnoticed, certain emotions would go unexpressed. Without art there would be no escape from reality and we would just be miserable creatures. I myself, though not an artist, respect art and do sometimes escape my stressful life through the art of others. I liked this class and respect the notions of my peers and professor and will ever respect the beauty of the arts. With that said:
What did you receive from this class? Did your notions of art remain the same or change?
