Definition of Art
Art is an ambiguous term. There is no clear cut answer as how to define art. Some art evokes emotions that the author is trying stir up inside of the onlooker. For example, Ivan the Terrible by Repin evokes many emotions due to the boldness of colors and the history behind the picture. The red that contrast with the black creates a serious image that you can’t help to avoid. Art tells a story as well. Studying the picture, the onlooker can make an educated guess about the history of the subjects in the picture. That’s the benefit of art. If you see art with an imagination mind, you can have appreciation for something that may not look pleasing to the eye.
