Anything that is not done for survival reasons, is art... (If you haven't read it yet, Nat, read "Understanding Comics"...brilliant book...  )But shouldn't artists be recognized, paid well, and be able to make a living off of creating/doing what they love? Of course...that doesn't negate, though, the definition of art being anything not done for survival purposes... and actually, I mean that in the extreme literal sense..lol. I don't mean "survival" as in getting paid so that you can pay rent...I mean "survival" as in "if I do not do this right this second, I'm dead". Everything that does not fit into that latter catagory...is art. Painting, singing, drawing, sculpture, writing, film making, photography, poetry, gardening, running, talking, listening, laughing, debating, lovemaking...living...it's all art, truly.   Byron, You're talking about creating for pleasure rather than survivial? I think that the two are linked in some way, could you elaborate? What does your definition of survival encompass? Survival: eating apples because they're the only food around and if you don't, you'll starve to death... Art: eating apples because you like their taste... Survival: inhaling and exhaling because if you don't, you'll die... Art: inhaling and exhaling deeply as part of a yoga exercise, because you want to achieve a healthier body and spirit... Survival: holding your breath while underwater because if you don't, you'll drown... Art: holding your breath underwater because you want to see how long you can before coming back up for air... And so on and so forth...  Thanks! I was thinking in terms of survival, as in some artists feel a compulsion to create which is as great as breathing for some. This is a form of survival and fulfillment of the soul. For instance, the urge for Prince to be creative is as natural to him as eating for us, for want of a better comparison. Not "physical" survival, but survival of the human spirit? I understand... ...but, yeah, I was referring to literal, physical survival...
Basically, I was conveying the concept that everything we do is art...that it's not just relegated to drawing, painting and sculpture. | |
