This site is awesome coz as an artist I feel that I am obliged to make people realize the importance of art around us. But then we also need to get in to the field and see why people don’t appreciate art! We need to get to know the hinderances that propel people into hating or not promoting art!

That is a very good article, very much true. Art intrigues me, I live in such a shallow environment and I search for more. Yet I doubt myself, doubt that I will be able to capture and appreciate such beauty, and fear that I will live life without realising anything but that which people tell me. I am going to try to immerse myself in art, visit local museums. If it doesn’t capture my interest, I could always blame it on my age, I’m barely 15. I do appreciate music and photography very much.

I feel art is a beautiful thing. Alot of people don’t appreciate art for what it is. I agree that art is all around us, the artist brings it to life for us.

I agree that we go through life not appreciating things around us because we are creatures of habit. Art is all around us, just waiting for us to enjoy and captivate us if we would just stop for a moment and look.

I have felt that stir, being drawn to a particular piece that makes me quickly turn my head and stare, re-focus all of my attention, although I confess as to not at this point being able to say WHY some things ring so true to me.

I like the image that “art gives us the roads, yet not the map.” When looking at a painting, I like to get lost in its beauty just like driving on an unfamiliar country road. You never know where it will take you.

i have always tried to understand how people interpret art and what makes a good or bad work of art. some things i see i have a hard time finding an appeal for it. i also don’t understand how someone would give an interpretation that others can agree with.
