This essay
seeks to prove the importance of art in the current society by showing the
power that art has acquired since its beginnings. When someone walks down the
streets of a city or from the window of a car or a building finds a big amount
of visual and hearing expressions that go unnoticed because they have become into
something normal and like an external aspect that doesn’t affect you.
In our daily
routine, we live and even use objects that contain artistic aspects that we
don’t see realize off and barely try to understand their meaning. What lead us
wondering why this happen? Maybe by the indifference or because we weren’t educated to grasp
particularly the human capacity for the skills and talents of those involved
with aesthetic or emotional criteria to produce
and make attractive shapes and friendly
to everyday things or situations that affect our lives and also in certain
point create influence for the common society.
Being the
art: "the ability, guided by reason,
to produce any object" 1 (p.37) it is clear that the art itself and
nourish by other generates what we could see in every fashion object that suddenly reflects the dynamics of the
political, social, economic, military and religious from the state that are
from, also it is important to notice
that there will be artist who have detractors at first that eventually could
see magic in art and others are completely against it until the point that sometimes
they are chased for assurance their disappearance.
It has been
shown that early art dating from the Paleolithic period, more or less 30,000
years ago. With the course of time, men have made art a common bond with the
phenomena of the spiritual life of society with science, with technology, with
political ideology, morality. (1)
Although the
artist shows an interpretation of the reality of it is also true that on more
than one occasion alleged situations abstracts and outlines the past, present
and even the future. Its sensitivity innate or acquired for the education
received complemented with technical sometimes become immeasurable and even
master pieces. They use their creativity "to satisfy aesthetic needs themselves or others, also of institutions,
producing splendid works, likely to provide joy and pleasure able to enrich
spiritually" (1).
Usually
considered that art is manifested only in painting or music, but also with
various other disciplines that allow people to interpret, and interact live
with them permanently. So music and art go hand in hand with sculpture,
architecture, literature, dance (2) and in modern times with photography and
film. In addition to technology and society also incorporates photography, film
and computer programs.
Since almost
three decades ago we have been seeing more forms of art, like the graffiti’s
and body painting, including tattoos, that are not considered in the classical
conception of art but who are we to tell people if something is or is not art,
I believe it depends not only of on the perspective of the society it’s
actually a matter of extending the framework of acceptance for example in many
cities now they are including spaces for increase freedom of expression through
art or the creation of spaces in the public schools to include contact with art
since an early age as in Bogota encouraging the society to have a more artistic
culture.
