 Art:
Tells a story
Shows emotion
Gives us meaning
Give a feeling of happiness or sadness
Must not be something that is just there
Art is beautiful
Its a way to communicate with someone
Reflects how I feel
Makes us ponder things
Tells us about the past
Gives us a peek into the future
Lets us be a different places at once
Has a spirit
Can be anything
Needs to be unique
Must be considered art by other artist
Must be able to be bought
Can be a good fit in a living space or work place
Should be shown in a gallary or park
Must be original
Must be important
Must be expensive
Needs to be hand made
Can never be made by machine
Can never be considered a knock off
Cannot be always understood
Can be understood
Must be spiritual
Contains different elements
Can be different shapes and sizes
Has different themes
Give a different mood to everyone
Gives a different perspective to everyone
Art needs to be abstract
Art is colorful

 Post 1


Title: "the dynamic quaternity performing cosmic redemption"
Author/Artist: J. Haas
Visionary digital fine art, and modern abstract images created using a fractal program.

Art must be original
Art must be unique
A peice of art must have a meaning to either all viewers, some viewers, or to the artist
Art is cherished
Art is important to some people
Art is evident everywhere and to all people
The popularity of art changes from one time to another
Art forms/styles change and evolve from one time to another
Art is a form of expression
Art is a form of communication
Art is versatile in terms of both style and 'genre' 
Art has more than one meaning
Art has monetary value
Art has emotional value
Art has sentimental value
Art has spiritual value
Art has the potential to make the artist/viewers think
Art has the potential to evoke an emotional response in the artist/viewers
Art takes many shapes (painting, sculpting, drawing, music, theater, photography, etc…)
Art requires certain skills
And at the same time, art is created by everyone
Art requires passion
Art requires creativity 
Art is not only for artists’ pleasure
Art is not only for viewers’ pleasure
Art is not always beautiful to every viewer
Art is not always expensive to buy
Art is not exclusively what one sees in a museum
