What is art in general? What makes art so unique to society? How is it important culturally? What is art to you???




Art is the beauty of nature, the element that defines life in extraordinary ways, depending on the views of the artist themselves. It is the one thing, which shares the views, feelings, and purpose of one individual's perception of the surrounding world. A place where, someone can escape from reality and make a fantasy of creativity. A place of comfort, yet at times a social approval or disappointment to society. A beauty hidden within itself no matter what type of art it may be.

To society, art can be fascinating, but at times it may not be. Depending on the views of a person and others, the art can seem so unique in its own way or something disgusting. I love art, I'm not going to lie though; at times I don't think some art is considered art or appealing to my eye. It depends the elements and designs used in the art piece, which catches my eye. A third element would be color, or how well everything blends together.




For me, I have come from a culturally diverse society in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Many of you may know this place as the tropical islands of Hawaii, and I am proud of my Hawaiian culture, as well as my Portuguese, and Filipino culture too. In the Hawaiian culture, art is a very important element in the Hawaiian society. It is a way to express family heritage through tattoos, Hawaiian spears, and structural buildings, which represents a significant event or social purpose in history. Paintings, arts and crafts also make a big impact on the art society of the Hawaiian culture. In the old days, arts and crafts was passed on from generation to generation, traditions formed in an individual family and made art an important element to the society. Art, is something important to me, when dealing with the foundation of where you are from or family. It is an important element which shares your story to the rest of the world.

So if I can make art something important to me and beautiful to the rest of the world, wouldn't that just be great!!! Why don't you tell me what art is to you??? Is it something you would consider having in your own household, on your body, or in some other shape or form???

Think about it...
