What is art?
Why do you create art?/What drives you to be creative?
How do you grow as an artist?
How do you approach a piece?
Do you individualize every single piece or is every piece a part of your artistic life?
Research: Various theories of aesthetics
Thesis: All art is a form of communication. Art is its own language. As such it is a constantly evolving thing, both as a whole and as parts. As in the case with plain language, individual pieces derive their meaning from context and there can be misunderstandings in the process of communication. Likewise, as a word's meanings can change over time an individual piece of art can have an evolving meaning. Also as words can have various meanings on how it is stressed (i.e. book (generic) or Book (Bible) so too pieces of art have various meanings when stressed differently.
