1. What is art according to you?
Well, that's a tough question, because nowadays art can actually represent so many things. Art
can be a sculpture, a painting; it could be architecture, or music as well; it could be a design, or a
specific skill that touches people deeply, and has an impact on their senses. Art is supposed to
make people react; usually it affects people's perceptions of what is beautiful and nice. Since
people have different points of view, different people enjoy different forms of art.
2. Should art be beautiful?
Well, here I'm gonna (= I'm going to) have to say "no" because I have seen many drawings and
sculptures that were definitely considered art, although I thought they were extremely ugly. Art
must create feelings; if it creates beauty, then it's even better, but it doesn't have to be beautiful.
For example, the Mona Lisa, for me, is not beautiful. However, the techniques, and the feelings it
creates when her eyes seem to follow you are stunning. It doesn't mean it's a gorgeous portrait. In
addition, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder(=observer), so different people will disagree
whether a piece of art is beautiful or not. For example, I'm sure that some people really find the
Eiffel Tower ugly. It's art, though. And there are also some paintings that describe wars and dead
people. They make us react, and that's what art is really about.
3. Do you think that art is important to life?
Yes, definitely! Art gives color to our lives, it stimulates our imagination, and it makes people
react. Without art, our lives would be very boring. Imagine: no pictures, no paintings, no TV, no
colors. It's absolutely impossible to live without art. And by the way, even prehistoric societies
used to draw on walls in their caves. It really means that humans are created with a sense of
aesthetics (= perceptions + beauty). Art is a way for us to express our feelings, and it also
generates (= creates) beauty and satisfaction.
