Definition of Art

I choose to define art as risk.


Risk is what gets us from point A to point B. Without risk everything in life would be impossible. An artist takes a risk by daring to sketch out his or her own imagination so it will become a tangible object for all to see. We fall in love with our risks and are able to create art out of our love for risk taking. The fear of criticism virtually disappears as an artist moves through creating his or her creation without second thought. Only after creating a work of art can an artist second guess themselves and wonder, “Should I have done this?” “Perhaps this should be a more personal work of art.” The moment an artist makes any intrusion on the work of art they just completed, the original idea is lost and ruined.
