Why do humans make art?

philippamallins — 2020-02-04 20:44:18 UTC

Discuss why people make art. Start small and then think about the bigger implications and how art connects to wider society.

Why is Art important?

Provocation - Are some artists more likely to be taken seriously?

philippamallins — 2021-02-15 02:39:56 UTC

I wonder why

philippamallins — 2021-02-16 22:43:44 UTC

Humans have been making art since very very early on in humanity.

What inspired the people who made cave art in prehistoric France to do this?

Provocation: Is Art relevant?

Is art relevant? Why or why not. Who do you agree/disagree with in this passage? Why is this?

Should Art be determined by Morality?

philippamallins — 2022-02-26 23:16:42 UTC

To become immortal

philippamallins — 2022-02-26 23:30:11 UTC

My idea is that the person who made this drawing was making themselves immortal by capturing a moment in time when they were fully alive.

The impulse to me doesn't feel a million miles away from a patron commissioning an art work - portrait or important painting to say - I was here.

How does the Renaissance influence us to this day?

How to start

philippamallins — 2022-03-06 00:26:00 UTC

-Use your name or initials. This makes it easier to figure out who said what.

-You can add your own questions, art works and resources

-See what you can add to the questions and ideas that have been posted.

-You can use headings like My idea is, New information, Another idea is, We need to find out, I wonder
- It's OK not to know very much at the beginning - add what you can even if it is just the beginning of an idea - that just means it is an area that we need to develop/build on/improve.

-All ideas are valid and improvable.

Anyone can contribute to any part of this. Once an idea or question is out there, it is there for the group to work on.

I think the creation of Adam would have Religious value, Iconic value and Symbolic value

PM I would talk about the values of the Pope

2022-03-15 01:40:34 UTC

This might include cultural values (e.g. the importance of classical education), historical value perhaps .

Why did people make art in the Renaissance? - Ms M

philippamallins — 2025-02-26 23:53:22 UTC

I think that sometimes art was aspirational, to portray the world as we wish it was. Sometimes art had an element of propaganda. e.g. for a dominant group such as the church to tell people how to live.

What relevance does art have to life

philippamallins — 2025-02-26 23:54:55 UTC

I think that in the Renaisance art was highly relevant. It was a way of asserting education or status or intellect even. I wonder how influential art still is today?

I think humans make art to have their true inner thoughts expressed in a way that words can't, it also creates immortality by leaving behind a piece of yourself that won't be forgotten.

Money

macyhill1 — 2025-02-26 23:55:41 UTC

I believe the purpose of art in the Renaissance was to highlight the time period as well as incorporate large values and ideas on spiritual and symbolic means. A portrayal of a perfect world could've been a potential preferred aesthetic during these times as well.

Why do humans make art - contribution

2025-02-26 23:56:28 UTC

I think for a variety of reasons. To be remembered in history, to be great (social status and fame), to build connection. Art is the most simplest form of communication. In a world where we have not always been able to communicate due to language barriers, illiteracy, etc. Art communicates social, political, and cultural ideas in a simple form and allows for a broader audience.

Why do humans make art?

macyhill1 — 2025-02-26 23:58:18 UTC

I believe art is both meaningful and meaningless, as in creating art for fun with no backstory or historical values. Or perhaps it's meaningful toward the artist; a sign of significance in the past, or to communicate certain ideas about large and harsh ideas.

Arts purpose:

2025-02-26 23:58:20 UTC

Art during the Renasissance, and still to this day is a form of expretion. Artists of all mediums used their skills to capture the thoughts and belifs of that era. Not only does the art in this era bring to light the subjects of disscusion, but memorializes the values and symbols, for anyone to reflect upon.

The drag path trend - we humans generally want to make a mark of our existence. in my opinion, we always look for attention, a call out that we exist. If not to contribute to society, to just be remembered.
