What is Art?

If an art work is created to satisfy a market, a group of customer, or your boss
is that not real art?

Are only the lonely artists are the real artists?
Are artists who take on commercial work not real artists?
I think a lot of people interpret artists as too much of a sacred role who must possess some kind of high ideal and believing only what he sees and what he acknowledges is art . On the contrary I happen to believe everyone can be an artist of his/herself thru learning of more sensitive and subtle sensation they might have been experience everyday throughout their life, appreciating the beauty of a flake of snowfall, the changing of leaf color in the autumn, the breath of a tree, the marks on your mother's aging face skin, when a mother dog gives birth to her new born poppies and how she licks them at the first sight, and many more.

Art is indeed about appreciating, refining, and perceiving the subtlety. Art is not just doing your own work that makes you happy or content and without giving regard to the world that you are in.

so what is art?



Btw, anyone knows how to play song in blogger?

it was only a week ago when i saw almost an exactly same image in eric's blog when i took the
picture above. frankly when i first saw it in eric's blog, it was a bit hard for me accept the possibility
that the sub woods could one day looked so different from its regular appearance, like a fairytale scene.


a week later, one night in the late November, it came the first snow of the year in Vancouver; it
snowed heavily that night. the next day, i woke up and took a walk around the
campus covered in sheerly pure whiteness. I found myself alive inside the fairy tale that i saw in
eric's blog a week ago.
