IMPULSE FOR ART

Pre Historic Art

Art has always been here and is all around us. Art is important to people.

Three Types of Outside Art

• Naive art
• Children Art
• Folk Art

(typically uneducated on human anatomy)

It doesn't matter if your academically trained, it's okay it's still someone's expression.

"There are no boring situations only boring people."

In some people the Impulse for art is very strong...

It doesn't matter what people say people will still ALWAYS create and there's almost nothing that can stop them.

"The Eleventh Commandment"

(Joseph Smith's First Vision)

"...If there is anything virtuous lovely or good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things" -Joseph Smith

Try new things, experience.

Search for Beauty...

"Beauty is all around"

Natural Beauty

There's a lot of beauty that surrounds us.

There's always going to be someone's idea of beautiful, because beauty is in they eye of the beholder. Someday we will look at something, a film, nature, art, or music and we will be so moved by it and feel so amazing that we might even cry.

Aesthetics

Aesthetics make you feel more, experience more. (high culture) To feel something; a sense of the beautiful, a higher level of appreciation.

Anesthetics (low culture) To feel less; to dull the senses, a lower level of experience.

HIGH CULTURE VS. LOW CULTURE

What to Artists Do?

• Create places for human purposes
• Create extraordinary versions of ordinary objects
• Record and commemorate
• Give tangible forms to the unknown (ex. Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc.
• Give tangible form to feelings and emotions

Things change that's what art is!

Seeing can connote a deeper connection

We need to see instead of just look at something, feel it and experience it instead.

Art can make sense to some people and it can make the world's sense to another
