Brandon Ferry - Everyday Things Seen as Art

Our text regards every art as movement and that in art the objects of life obey a particular rhythm (Van Der Lew, pg 155). I wholeheartedly agree with this notion and the idea that " powerful life can speak from a painting or statue, as though motion were frozen." These forms of art are great testaments to capturing a moment in time for another audience to interpret and to regard with a good deal of original thought. Contemporary art seems to always find groundbreaking ways to connect with its audience and relay the artist’s true emotion. No matter what the art form is, (music, film, paintings) as long as it finds a unique way to connect to its audience and say something, I see it as an extraordinary piece of art in an ordinary situation.
