So today, i would like to go into a little more detail about the way i view defining art. To start off, i would like to say for that anything that can truly be rewarding, it must be sought after and constantly questioned, and there are some things in the world that take some people an entire lifetime to achieve. Like inner peace, happiness, art, etc. But we are convinced that before we can truly appreciate any of these things, they must first be defined. But sometimes we need to change our way of thinking. Throughout this course and examining various viewpoints on the definition of art, i have concluded that art is ambiguously indefinable. When examining art, there are many factors that need to be taken into account, the quality of the work, the communication to the viewer, the intention of the artist, the interpretation, the emotion, the form, the symbols, the presentation etc. But all of these things are continually changing as we examine art. So we really need to look at the nature of art. Art is (arguably) something which is created by humans. And as humans, we are constantly growing and changing and adapting and innovating. Our concept of art is also subject to this nature because of the course of history. It is changing as it is examined. But it is not switching from definition to definition. It is expanding. it is growing. It grows as long as we grow and is constantly changing as a result of our natures, new types of artforms, new artists and critics, new everything, as well as recognition for the old.
So my question for right now is, will there be a point in which art ceases to grow?
