...so i was thinking recently...
art. that's a form of media yes? not to mention any names or situations...i would prefer to leave this somewhat open ended...but what are ya'lls thoughts on art having a message. does every piece of art MEAN something? were they created with the meaning in mind BEFOREHAND? or is the meaning created AFTER? or perhaps...i dunno...just a thought...but can some art perhaps have NO MESSAGE? or perhaps the message being...maybe i just thought this was pretty? or maybe i JUST LIKE ELEPHANTS!?!?!?!?!? do i need an explanation besides something makes me happy to create? something that's pretty to look at?
i dunno...maybe i have to have some REAL reason to like elephants...?
I think some art doesn't have to have meaning to be art; it just has to be beautiful to you. I think an excellent example of this is a lot of modern art. I don't think it REALLY has any meaning (like a big dot on a canvas) but it is beautiful and meaningful to somebody.
