Sentences on Conceptual Art
Agree:
#10: The statement agrees with my personal views on art
because I believe an idea can be a work of art. The term “art” covers a very
broad spectrum for me. I see an idea as a process as well as a creation. You,
individually, are composing a sequence of thoughts in a specific order. A
creation, in my opinion, is nothing short of a work of art.
#14: Speaking with other artists when working on art is
always been a helpful task for me. I find that when saying ideas aloud it
allows me to construct a more concrete thought. This is one reason why this
statement proves true to me. Two artists speaking about the same concept could
effectively bounce ideas off one another, therefore creating an idea chain.
Disagree:
#6: I often describe myself as an indecisive person.
Consequently, I am constantly changing ideas midway through my work. The
statement by Sol Lewitt does not agree with my thoughts of changing ideas half
way through. I can admit there have been some times where the change of
direction caused me to rush and it turned out less than expected. But I have
also encountered times when a change of idea formed as I created the piece and
ended up turning out great.
#35
As mentioned above, I have a very broad spectrum of thoughts
on the term “art’. There are a vast amount of very different categories that
could all fit characteristics of the word “art”. Sol claims the comments on
conceptual art are not art but simply comments about art. I disagree because
these are perceptive and meaningful sentences, especially to Sol Lewitt. These
sentences are a series of individually formed ideas and would still fit into my
understanding of the term “art”.
