How are the types of visual art you encounter daily different from one another? How could we categorize the art you found in your daily life?

The types of visual art I encounter daily are very different from one another. They consist of all sorts of things like water bottles, my fridge, my bed, etc. I would say their main differences are what they are used for/what their purpose is. Despite their differences, I could categorize the art I found in my daily life as things that are pleasing to my eye as well as simply things that I enjoy. Most of the art I found was simple yet had some sort of detail that drew my attention. Additionally, the color of most of these art pieces was what I found pleasing, which led me to include them in my blog.

What (if anything) can you learn from these artistic encounters you have daily? Do they enrich your life at all? Do other people see them as art?

There is so much I could learn from these artistic encounters I have daily. Since I was consistently looking for them in order to be able to complete the assignment, I noticed it was not that difficult to find artistics things throughout my day. It made me realize that even though I was having a bad day, there were so many beautiful things spread throughout it. These artistic encounters enrich my life. For example, the crispy Dr. Pepper was my mid day motivation and I was looking at it and noticed it was an artistic encounter. Due to this assignment, I was able to find beauty/good things throughout my bad day. Some people might not consider my encounters art, but I feel that some if not the majority could probably understand why I consider these 10 images my artistic encounters.
