Clothing and accessories as art

As modern people, we have long moved passed clothes as just a functional thing. We dress creatively often expressing our personality through our clothing. Fashion is also one of the world's most marketable art.

Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia

I recently visited the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia in Atlanta. It is a small museum with art made only by Georgians. Students can get in for just a dollar. Much of the art relates to Georgia's culture and its environment. Others are abstract. Below are a few of the works I liked. The bottom right was made using a computer.

Food as Art

Making food is art. Many of the things we eat are made the way they are not just for functional purposes but also for aesthetic purposes. A aesthetic looking food is much more likely to be eaten than a non-aesthetic food. In fact, restaurants thrive off making their food artistic and appealing.

Technology and Art

As more and more operating systems are released, for example Windows 7, Google Android, Linux, Mac Leopard X, etc, the artistic look of these operating systems are getting better and better. An artistic user interface definitely appeals to consumers and is a must to be successful.

Dance!

Dancing is a form of art as it involves creative expression using the body as a medium. The different kinds of dance reflect the thinking and style of the people. For example, ballet is smooth and graceful, while hip-hop is somewhat more free and random.  Salsa is a more intimate dance and reflects Hispanic culture. These are just a few of the many kinds of dance.

Advertisements

A lot of thought and creativity goes into advertisement which is why advertisements are a form of public art. They are artistic in order to grab the attention of consumers and relay something to them, just as a painting is made to catch the attention of a viewer and relay the thoughts of the artist. Above is an advertisement for a medicine. 

Movies and Art

I knew movies were art, but just didn't think of writing a post on it. So here I am. I recently saw Harry Potter. It is a very artistic movie in that has special effects, a fantastical theme, and much more. The books were very moving and this movie captivated the audience.
