© Saul Steinberg Untitled (Question Marks) , 1961 Ink on paper 14 1/2'' x 22 3/4''What is art? Very few questions were asked through humans history that gave way to so many different answers. The main problem with that question, as H. W. Janson and Anthony F. Janson put it, is two fold: "...art is an object and a word. Both vary widely in different times and places and in different cultures." [1]Christopher L. C. E. Witcombe, Professor of Art History at Sweet Briar College, Virginia, states that "Art has not always been what we think it is today. An object regarded as Art today may not have been perceived as such when it was first made, n...

Good morning everyone.As many of you may know, I am a huge fan of art and it's history. Understanding art we see it today really reflects on what art was like previously, and our perception of it changes as time moves along. Because of this, I will be posting various journals over the next few months that will be sort of like a history guide through art. I know that some of you may not be a fan of art history like I am, and so you may find this boring to read.But I will try to make this as enjoyable as possible.

As I was sitting here, looking through my deviantART messages, I realized that I really haven't done much with this section of the dA sphere. I spend most of my time (when I do log on) in the chats, or browsing the forums, but I don't really 'contribute' in the way I wish I did anymore. There are so many things I'd love to do, but finding the motivation to continue doing them is where I am having the trouble. So I thought I'd just look back into the past, and see where I came from, and look to where I am heading.Back when I started this account, I was in high school. During that time, I spent most of my days just browsing the various artes...

Thanks

In a few days, it is going to be a relatively normal day...for most.  But not for you.  For on that day...it will be a good day to revel in the moment that you were cast down upon this Earth, summoned and placed here by the mighty Odin to share your talents and your creativity with all.  Let thee rejoice and enjoy this time, and know you are wished a Happy Birthday!  May many more follow!

Also, Odin sends cake, blessed by King Kong and delivered by Godzilla! :D (Big Grin) Have your cake and eat it too
A few days from today, the history books show an entry.  An entry of mystery, and portent, as the great powers came down upon the Earth, and, in accordance with the wishes of the mighty King Kong, granted the world a boon.  That boon was you.  And lo, let it be said to all that you are to be wished a Happy Birthday upon that day, with the most excellent and amazing of cakes to partake in! :D (Big Grin) Have your cake and eat it too
History records that, just days from now, a tremendous upheaval took place as the ground cracked and broke apart, tornadoes spun counter to their nature, and even Godzilla bowed as you appeared upon the Earth to grace us with your art. And so it is wished upon you to have a Happy Birthday on that day....and a most excellent cake. :D (Big Grin)  Have your cake and eat it too
In a short time hence, may you have a most happy birthday, for that is the day that you descended upon the Earth in a shower of lightening! :D (Big Grin)  Also, have delicious Have your cake and eat it too that day!
Happy early birthday! :D (Big Grin)  With many happy returns! Have your cake and eat it too
