What is Art? (Attempt 1)
What is art?
For me, art, like other domains such as science, mathematics, language, etc, are means for us to convey some sense from nature, our environment or our own imaginations. Scientists, for example, do so by understanding the laws of nature, and also finding new applications. The relationship between art and meaning can probably be summarised into three parts:
Art re-presents meanings.
Art creates meanings.
Art questions meanings.
