Art

Art is one of the most broad, difficult, and subjective forms of expression which factors into the difficulty of constructing its definition. Generally speaking, art is the product and process of forming and assembling elements in a certain way that should appeal to one or another’s senses and emotions (Beardsley, Monroe). Now, what is appealing to ones senses may differ to another’s? The subjectivity of art exists due to the dynamics of human nature and culture. Each person has their own view and opinion of what they might see, hear, touch, taste or feel. For example, the age of the Renaissance is connected to the "rebirth" of classical antiquity, the impact of humanism on artists and their patrons, and the transition from the medieval period to the early modern age. This transition artistically moved from religious homage and portrayal to fresco styles, personal devotions, mythological paintings and so on. In other words, as their culture was reborn, so was their art. There are several ways to stir any person’s emotions no matter what cultural background they may have; may it be through music, literature, sculpture, painting, film, or installation art in this case.
