What Is Art to Me?
Within this day in age and our society, there are many different forms of art. There is painting, sketching, writing, photography, drawing, and much much more. However, one thing about art remains the same; no matter which form of art you take up they all do the same thing. It becomes a way for you to express yourself differently! I went around and asked random people what art meant to them. Some said it meant freedom or safety. Others said that art was armor or a weapon they use. Upon hearing all of these opinions, I asked them to explain what they meant. The ones who spoke about how art was freedom or safety spoke on how their form of artwork helped them grow into their true selves in life. They also stated that art saved them during a very difficult time within their life. For the other group of people, they mostly explained how they were able to shed light on social issues like BLM through art. They also use their art to discuss the colonization and gentrification that is currently happening in the Country of Hawaii. I found it incredibly interesting to hear all of their opinions about art. It just goes to show how no matter what is going on within the world we are all the same. We have hobbies and interests just like everyone else. Any form of art can be used to bring us together as one people.
