People can be cynical about art. However there is a lot of great artwork out there in the world. Whether it is a hand crafted sculpture or a watercolour there are many ways in which a work of art can have an effect on people. In short it is worth knowing the power of art and how it can affect us in a number of ways.
The fact is that what people describe as art can be very diverse. There are of course the classic masters such as Van Gogh or Renaissance painters such as Michelangelo. These are the pieces that are famous around the world. Some may sell for millions while others are iconic and because of where they are based it is impossible to put a price on them.
What is clear when you see this piece is its power. Michelangelo is an artist who clearly puts passion into his work. The problem is that it is not easy to describe the effect of the piece if you have not seen it in person. Photographs can capture the detail but they do not really capture the feeling when you see it.
The idea of something being powerful is something that can be debated. In terms of films an image can often stay in your mind. Sometimes these powerful images can also be controversial such as the iconic Nazi propaganda piece Triumph of The Will or the DW Griffiths silent epic about the rise of the Ku Klux Klan The Birth of A Nation.
Naturally art will affect people in different ways. What one person is inspired by a person can also be bemused by. Often the meaning of an artwork can be lost and people may not fully appreciate this on the first viewing of a piece. In other cases it may be that somebody gets the message but does not like the style. A good example of this is Bristol based anonymous graffiti artist Banksy. When his stencil work was first exhibited it was considered a nuisance and was quickly removed. Over time it has since become something that celebrities have spent thousands on at auction.
Another positive aspect of how art can be powerful is in how it can change lives. Art therapy is often used by therapists in order to help people express themselves. Often things that people can have difficulty saying in words can find it a lot to easier to communicate their feelings via art.
This is why art lessons in school are often positive. It gives children space to be creative. While learning techniques are important there is something to be said for giving people the space to be creative and feel confident that they can get engage with something and make something that they will be happy to share with people.
The good thing about the internet is that it is now easier to share art with people around the world. Whether you make your own pieces or you want to share your favourite works with other people there are lots of ways to learn more about the diverse styles of artwork available around the world. It is also worth checking to see what exhibitions and pieces are available in your local area.
