Viewing single post of blog What is Art?

*IDEA** originally from 18th February 2014

This is a piece of Art

I’m playing around with words as a form of Art to represent the idea. I put the words Art onto the back of a canvas.

The canvas is a good representation of paintings, a popular form of Art. I’ve turned the canvas around as a kind of protect towards Art. The words Art that are contained in the canvas, makes the canvas a piece of Art.

This is Art, because it says Art.

I say to people “come and look at my piece of Art, it is a good piece”, when they come and look, they see the word Art on the back of a canvas. This makes me think of the question, what do people imagine their going to see when I say “come and look at my Art?” does this piece fall below the expectations people think their going to see? It probably does, but I would expect, it would make the viewer think a bit differently, from it not being what they were expecting to see.

Its very literal but a rely good way to play with the idea and raise questions about Art.
