For "C" Term 6th Grade Art Classes (on 11/28/06).

Sixth grade classes (in "C" term art) will be in the computer lab on Tuesday, November 28th. If this means YOU, this is the blog post that you will need to reply to for your first offical art assignment - this is not extra credit - this is required!

You need to COMMENT on this post and answer the following question:
"What is ART?"

Your answer should be 3-5 sentences long, minimum. I don't care about your spelling and grammar as much as I care about your IDEAS. To me, that's the important part. How would YOU define art?

You need to label your comment as well in order to receive credit for your comment. All comments should be labeled with your first name, last initial, and class period - DO NOT put your full name in your comment! I will be walking you through the steps on how to do this when we're in class together. Also remember that comments will not show up immediately because I need to approve them first.

Good luck!

  2. this is how i define art. i define art as a way to express your feelings. Like if you are feelin mad u can make a skulpture that is mad. Art is aslo a way to make your own little world and it dosent matter if you are super pretty or if you are super smart. it just matters that you really put yourself into it.Art is a piece of the artist.

  5. Art is how you express yourself, it doesn't need to be perfect. Art can be music or dancing, it could be painting or maybe writing. Art is whatever you want it to be. If decorating is what you do best then your art. To me art is what I do best. Horseback riding. To me the amazing rythym formed by me and the horse I normally show with Bonnie Baske a.k.a Bonnie, is art. When we're in the show ring it is amazing and that is how I express myself. That is art.

  6. Art is all around us. It could be a symphony. It could even be a pitchure of a bowl of fruit. In many ways you express yourself in art. Art can be what you want it to be. It doesn't have to be a the exact thing. You could start out making a horse and end up making a cow or you could make grass yellow instead of green. There is no exact way to do art. What ever you want to make is art. Thats what art is.

  8. This is so cool! I love bieng able to write messages to my friends, It's awesome!!!

    I think art is something from your imaganation that you just put on to paper and show other people. You can doodle and draw and just show what you feel through your drawing. You can show that your happy, or sad, exited, or mad. I know no matter what i'm feeling, I can always go and doodle, or just scribble as hard as I can, I can really express my feelings in art. Art is just really awesome, and in a way, kind of helpful. Art is really cool!!

  11. I think art is anything that pops into your head. You can make it anything you want it to be. It could be a painting, a drawing, a mold,a sculpture, or any other way to bring out your ideas. And you don't need to be an official artist to make art. to me, art is a beatiful painting, or a scetch of what is important to me. Other people could make a piece of art simply by decorating a room or making a bookcover. To me, art is a very important part of your life.

  12. I think art can be anything.It can be the tree in your back yard or the trash can out side you local park. It could be the house next door. Art is anything you want it to be. Everything or just one thing. I think art is just one thing that you see every day in your life. Just something that pops up.

    MY ANSWER:
    I think that art is a way to let all your emotions out and just have fun with everything your doing. It is a way to express your feelings and let everything else just not matter. Art is just some little thing that can mean and say so much.

    Art is different to everyone. Art can express feelings. It can also show personality. Art is what you create, or what ever you see. A piece of art work dosn't look the same to any two people.Art can be paintings, drawings, clay scuptures, or any thing else.

    For me, art is paintings, sculptures, and different things like that. It is the kind of stuff you would find in an art museum. It can be drawings, or even things you make on the computer.
    Like this (I don't know if it will turn out right):

  19. Art is a design like a sketch or a painting or a sculpture. For example The Monalisa was a painting (a painting is a picture made of many colorful brushstrokes). A sketch... like Mickey Mouse (a sketch is a black and white drawing with a pencil or black pen). A sculpture like... Hachiko (a sculpture is a carving out of stone or forming of clay). You can even try oregomy (oregomy is related to a sculpture in a certain way, it is the folding of paper to make an object).

  20. I think art is for anyone who wants to describe their feelings about something. I think it is a good way to relax and let your imagination go wild! I personally think art will take YOU so many places in the world, and if YOU really like art who knows YOU could be an amazing artist. So take a chance, let that fire that is waiting to come out come out. You wont belive what you can do with a little bit of imagination. Let your spirit soar with art, let your imagination fly. YOU have so many abiltities and try something new!!!!!!!

  21. I think art is anything you want to draw, paint, make, sketch, ect. Art can be fun and creative. It shows whats on your mind, it tells your personality. Art is also a way to express yourself. Everyone has a different style of art that is basically a form of basic art changed and customized by the person making the art. Eventually down the line of ways of art (sketching, manga, ect.) they all come together the same. No one has the same exact form of art as another person but it might be similar to someones form of art.there are so many things to draw about that most things haven't been drawn yet. Art is everywhere.

  23. What is Art A good question you shuold ask. Art is a program were you get to hang out with your frendes and you get to make things like bowles,cups, sculptures,paintings and other thinges.

  24. To me, art is a way of expressing yourself that you can show to other people. Art is one of the best ways to express yourself because there are so many different types of art, like drawing painting or sculpting, and a lot more. So even if your bad at drawing you could always just do something else. I like art because you can draw something and it you have a very stong feeling about it like it shows you were mad or sad but someone else can look at it and see something totally different but it still means something just as important to them. Art can also be for telling a story, one of my favorite types or art is comic books and graphic novels, or watching animation. Art is definatley very important to me.

  25. Art is a way for all people to express themself. If you feekl upset it is a way to let all your emotion loose. Art is not limited by a paper and pen. It can be scribbaling with crayons, or fancy works with every little detail. The wonderful part about art is that their are no restrictions. If you go to a mueseum there are MichelAngelo's works and white canvases with one black dot in the middle. A few years ago my family took a trip to Italy. We went to Florence, Rome, and all theese historic places and I relized how art connects us to our past and the past of the worlds. Like the ancient Mayans, all their work was done in art and pictures. Some people think art is boring. But in my twelve years of mlife i have learned it is so much more.

  26. Art could mean many differant things. One of them would be to express your feelings. So if your feeling sad you might draw a rainy day or if your happy you might draw flowers or butterflys. Art can also be a way to show your creativity. like just start drawing it could someday be a masterpiece!! I think theres one more, it is to show memories or people like if your on a beach in florida maybe you would draw that beach. Another example would be if your in italy, to draw on of the ancient churches or landmarks, and for the people, wouldnt you want to see your great great great grandma?? I think art is amazing and makes people feel happy, and feel like they can make beauty.

    To me art is a way to express your inner feelings. You don't have to have an amazing talent for art all you have to have is a passion for art. Art can also be a way to let others know how you are feeling. In most casses you can tell what the persons feelings were when they made that piece of art. I believe that art can be anything from a beautiful painting in an art museum to a park bench thats painted in an unsereal way. Art is a magnificent way to express your inner soul. Thats's what i think art is.

  28. Art is anything made by your own hands. It can be made from clay, or any real material. You can also draw with paper and pencil.(You'd probably want smudge free pencils if you were doing a large black and white.)Also if you get into it enough there's even charcoal pencils wich are good for a lot of shading. Painting is fun too, and abstract is when you paint things with a distortation.

  29. I feel art as a fire in your soul olny wanting to come out. But the olny way it can come out is on paper. It is also very relaxing for when you feel feelings.
    And when that happends your imaganation goes wild! like when I am depresed I draw my mom. When I'm happy I draw Maui HI.

  31. The first thing I think of when it comes to art is fancy mueseums or
    really moody art guys from way back when. But then I think of the little kindergarteners drawing people with their arms coming out of their head. So I guess their really is no definition for art just that you can express your feeling with it or just pass the time. For me art is doodleing on my agenda but I guess you could consider it art. I mean if I git it framed and told everybody it took me years to doit I would be famous. Their is alawys art you consider amazing. be a puicture of Moses in toast or that picture of you your brother made thats hanging on the fridge. Art is what you say it is.

  34. Art is your expressions on a sheet of parer, canvas, computer or on film. It,s somthing you make or draw when your happy, sad or just plain board. Your art is mostley what you want it to be.

  35. I think art is a way of saying what you feel. You could use it to tell that you are sad, happy or mad. You could do it to tell people how you see the world or how you think the world should be. When you make art you could tell all of the people that see it what kind of person you are. People would be able to tell what things you like or what things you are feeling. Art is a good way of expressing what you are thinking at the time.

  36. Art is a creative expression of thoughts, ideas or feelings. It can be beautiful of thought-provoking. It is not only the painting that matters, it is the artist.

    I think art is like your mood. If you are in a bad mood you might draw a depressing picture with drak, gloomy colors but if you are in a good mood you will draw a happy picture with bright, uplifting colors. Art is a way for some people to express their feelings. When I think of art I think of feeling, mood ,and passion.

  38. I think art is a way to express your feelings. You can express your feelings through painting, drawing, and sculpting. It is very cool that you can make whatever you want and nobody will make fun of it because it is your own idea.
