Of course, art is a summary thing. Many people would certainly look at any Jackson Pollack "splatter" art and determine most surely that modern art is not art because it "doesn't look like anything." And if you may spend any time inside the modern art world, you will definitely notice something at some time as you go along occupying space in the perfectly respectable artwork museum that, for your requirements, could never be considered art.
So is that just a matter of view? To some extent, yes. But there is a skill world and an industry behind it in which depend on there being some specifications upon which artwork is judged. One standard is the intention of the artist. If you produce a photograph or an art work derived from an image that is intended to be seen as art, then the viewers is obligated to attempt to see the creative merit in it. Whether the viewer sees which merit or not may depend on the particular viewer's abilities, just how good you are at getting your creative message across or perhaps many other elements.
But just seeking something to be fine art doesn't make it fine art does it? Like a layman in the artwork world, I sometimes go with the actual "I don't know fine art but I know things i like" system of evaluating items I see. Fine art, after all, tends to touch us within another place that's above and beyond the look. It is an emotional place, a place regarding reflection and comprehending. Maybe we would point out it touches our "soulInch.
For a work to be art, there should be a message, a feeling, reasons the artist created the work due to the fact he or she wanted to say something, even when how I interpret the statement is different than what the actual artist meant.
It's true that the mechanical ability that the man at Wal:Mart might have to do baby pictures will be the same as a fantastic photographic artist could need. But the objection doesn't hold up since the same human terminology is used to produce great poetry as it takes yell away obscenities at a hockey game. So it just isn't the skill that makes it art.
Good evidence comes from the loan some great art experts have given to photographic exhibitions in the fine museums on earth. The very fact which photography is considered art by those who know may be proof enough. So the bottom line must be in which because the quarrels against the imaginative value of photos are weak and the ones who know consider photography to be art, then we are safe in viewing what we do artistically also. And that reveals that side of one's soul to express your self through the method you love probably the most - photography.
