When I think of art, the first things that pops into my mind are paintings, drawings, and sculptures. I don't know why this is what I first think of, but I guess I just naturally associate these things with "art."In reality, the subject of art is much more broad than these few things. Music is art. Dancing is art. Fashion is art. Even buildings and furniture are art. Realizing the artistic features in all of these things helps me figure out what I believe needs to be present in order for something to be considered art. Art can be anything, from fabric to paint to a ball of clay. The one element that is needed in every single piece of art.................. is CREATIVITY. If there is no creativity, then everything would be boring and show nothing. With creativity, emotions are expressed and meaning can be depicted in every piece of art. Art is used by people in order to express themselves, and without creativity, it is hard to show how you are truly feeling.
One piece of art that really catches my eye might not be considered art to most people. When I first saw this piece, I wasn't sure what to think because I've never seen anything like it before. The piece that I'm talking about is Boise State's football field. Most would say that a football field isn't art, but this field isn't like the others. Instead of having the traditional green field with white lines, Boise State uses a royal blue as the color of their field and a bright orange for both of their end zones. This field is a piece of art, in my mind, because it is not like the others. It stands out. It's creative. This field intrigues me mainly because of its creativity, and because the fact that others may not even consider it to be a piece of art.
