To me, Art falls under the category of expression via different mediums. S far there are there several accepted mediums of art: Film, Paintings, Sculpture, Music, Architecture, etc.  With mediums such as these, “artists” can convey their emotions, ideas and expressions with these different mediums. Oliver stone rocked the film world in 1994 with the film Natural Born Killers, a surreal, energetic, film that satirizes the media’s then fascination with violence with a mockumentary on Micky and Mallory Knox. In the realm of music, the classical movement with Beethoven and Mozart wrote symphonies and musical pieces that evoked their own inner rages, feelings, etc. Finally, there is the typical ideal of “Art”- Paintings. From the Renaissance to Cubism, to post modern movement, different techniques from realistic depictions, to bizarre shapes, all of these helped depict what artists such as Davinci, and Picasso felt at the time.

 

And compared to their contemporaries, they stood out to their fans by portraying something more than ordinary Something significant, something beautiful.
