EVERYONE'S AN artist

YOU'VE TAKEN LOTS OF COOL PHOTOS SINCE YOU GOT YOUR FIRST MOBILE PHONE. YOU'VE POSTED

THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUR FRIENDS HAVE 'LIKED' THEM ALL. YOU MUST BE AN ARTIST!

THE CASE FOR:

We look at the Mona Lisa, a Picasso painting, or a sculpture by Michelangelo, and we say, 'That's art.' But what about the amazing graffiti someone has painted on your street? What about the photographs our friends have posted online? What about the English poster you've worked on for hours? Have you made a work of art? To me, art is anything that's creative. Of course, I like looking at paintings in galleries, but I also like drawing pictures of my friends or taking photos with my mobile phone. I'm not very good at these things, but I'm creative. I'm passionate about them, and my friends like them. I think that's art!

THE CASE AGAINST:

I've loved visiting art galleries since I was very young. Why? Because I like looking at good art. What is art? Art isn't a drawing that a four-year-old child has done. It isn't funny cartoons in the newspaper. And it certainly isn't graffiti. Some people say, 'If it's creative and cool, it's art? I don't agree. Art is the result of years of practice. My aunt is an artist. She's worked hard in her studio for twenty years now. She hasn't made much money, but that isn't Important. She's shown her sculptures in several exhibitions since 2010 - her art is great. Art is very hard, and not many people can do it well. My aunt has practised for years to develop her talent. That's why she's an artist.

WHAT IS art? WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?

1. Что, по-вашему, такое искусство? Является ли картина произведением искусства? Почему? 2. Что делает человека художником? 3. Есть ли у вас друзья или члены семьи, которые являются художниками?

Ответ:

1. I think art is any form of self-expression, a way to show feelings or ideas. Yes, the picture looks like a piece of art because it is creative, unusual, and makes you feel something. It's in the style of Picasso, which is a famous type of art. (Я думаю, что искусство — это любая форма самовыражения, способ показать чувства или идеи. Да, картина похожа на произведение искусства, потому что она креативная, необычная и заставляет что-то почувствовать. Она выполнена в стиле Пикассо, который является известным направлением в искусстве.)

2. I think a person becomes an artist when they create something with passion and creativity. It doesn't matter if it's a painting, a photo, or graffiti. It's about the desire to create, not just years of practice, although practice helps a lot. (Я думаю, что человек становится художником, когда он создает что-то со страстью и креативностью. Неважно, картина это, фотография или граффити. Дело в желании творить, а не только в годах практики, хотя практика очень помогает.)

3. Yes, my best friend loves to draw. She creates amazing digital art on her tablet. I think she is a true artist! (Да, моя лучшая подруга любит рисовать. Она создает потрясающие цифровые рисунки на своем планшете. Я считаю ее настоящей художницей!)
