Art

Hi classmates and teacher, today's post is about Art (We chose this topic). Well, I think art is important because is a way to express things that cannot be expressed by words, also art is important because I think that we need more than just letters or numbers, one part of our brain works more when we paint, draw, sing, dance, etc. A part that works less when we just write or resolve math exercises. Because of that and because of in this educational system drawing or painting is less promoted than other things, I think I enjoy art. Also, I enjoy art because I can express my feelings without rationalistic thoughts. When I was a child I wasn’t interested in art, not very much, but today yes, despite the fact that I’ve visited the Museo Bellas Artes just once.

I think I don’t have big artistic abilities for visual art, but the thing in which I’m better is drawing; since I was child I’ve thought that my draws aren’t ugly. Despite the fact that I just remember the time in which I participated in something like a competition, but not a real competition because there wasn’t a winner. In that competition the organizers gave us a certificate.

About my personal views I like modern art, like graffiti, and I consider it a form of art and not vandalism if this isn’t a tag, and is, for example, a mural.

My favourite visual art expression is the performance, in which the astonishment and the aesthetic are mixed, like the art made of human flesh, blood and bones, but I think that this is a little extreme hahah. My favourite performances are the street performance, because the astonishment is seen in a better way and my favourite artist is a performance artist called Marina Abramovic. One of her better works of art, according to me, is the one I’ll put below (called Ritmo 0, 1974). I like that performance because is really shocking and true. Cheers!
