In my opinion, art is an expression of an idea, belief, attitude, emotion, or creativity through the eyes of the artist. The artist's message can be conveyed in boundless ways: a hairstyle, architecture, sculptures, tattoos, paintings, etc. Art always has meaning to it, whether it purpose to to create a passionate emotion in the eyes of the beholder, or to depict a certain idea about an issue the artist finds significant. Art allows my feelings and passions to flow from my mind to the piece I am creating, therefore it acts as an outlet for me. A piece of art I appreciate is the "Silver Bean" located in Downtown Chicago. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dopelogik/1807457252/)
I am intrigued how its simple beauty attracts hundreds of thousands of people to stand besides it and gaze at the smudged finger prints and distorted faces.
