What is Art?

In a workshop at Room 13 Community Studio in Caol we explored the age old question ‘What is Art?’

Our panel of experts* came to the following conclusions:

Art is interesting to look at.

Art moves the viewer.

Art shows skill.

Art reflects the artists intention.

Art shows consideration and thought – it makes us ask why the artist did it?

Art is different from daily life.

Art has been made to be art – it is something.

Art reflects an experience of the world or the artists unique view of it.

Art leaves the viewer to make decisions.
