Only imagination limits art

Coronado Staff Artist

Art, as defined in the Webster’s Dictionary, reads: art; Human skill as opposed to nature; skill applied to music, painting, poetry, etc. Any of the subjects of this skill; a profession or craft; cunning, trick. Art is the way people express their inner most feeling and thoughts. A true artist has no boundaries but his imagination, and an artist’s imagination is limitless. His images express those words that cannot be heard or found in an Encyclopedia or Dictionary. • There are two different kinds of artists, the artists who draws for the sole purpose of recognition, and the artist who is interested in expressing his or her emotions no matter what the outcome. The aforementioned artist usually gets into the field of Advertising and Architecture. These fields usually pay good wages, but the art produced is usually that of the company which that has hired the artist. • Today art has been blinded and people only care about art for their benefit, “A bird is beautiful and if you don’t understand it, it is still beautiful.” It is the same with art; if it is beautiful you do not have to understand it to like it! If you come across a piece of art that does not appeal to your taste, turn away, but if you put it down your just as ignorant as everyone else who puts down art.

Express Yourself
Art is an important form of emotional expression. Art can be both beautiful and cryptic. Understanding is not essential to enjoying art.
