Art

What is art? Something beautiful? A way of express your feelings? Just everything you can do with your hands?



I don't know many things about art. I just know when i like something and when i don't, or at least if it took a lot of effort to be made. So when I see "Las meninas", or "el david" of Miguel Angel I see wonderful pieces of art. If I see some other portraits, pictures or statues, i don't feel anything, but I konw that it ook a lot of time and effort to the autor to make it.

But when yesterday I went to the Tate museum, and I saw thing that could have been done by my little brother i felt that it was a bit a waste of time. When I was a child, once my parents punished me because I had drawn on the wall and, gess what?? IT IS ART.




One time, our teacher explained us that modern art doesn't try to be beautiful, that it just tries to be a way of feeling expression, so you have to understand the picture, te photo, the song, or whatever it is. Then I thought that maybe modern art is not as stupid as I thought. But sometimes it is just impossible to unaderstand what the autor meant when he made his sculpture or his painting.


What kind of feelings do you feel when you see that?



Anyway, the excursion to the tate museum was quite interesting, I cuold see some spanish art, so i was nice.
