WHAT IS CONSIDERED GOOD ART AND BY WHOSE STANDARDS?

It’s in the eye of the beholder, and how many people would like to have that piece of art. It then, in turn drives the demand for that piece of art work and increases the value. Take Van Gogh for instance, in his time his work was not that popular. His artwork wasn’t very expensive. A piece would have cost only $30.00, and now today his work brings in millions of dollars. Society tells us what is good or what is bad. We as individuals can like or dislike a piece of art, but ultimately society has the last word. The answer to whose standards is right in front of you .You yourself are the judge of what is good or what is bad. Society determines the value of art. I would say, enjoy art for what it is and don’t worry about whether it’s good or bad. Society will do that for you.

The New Art – “Muzart”

Muzart is in its infancy and the growth possibilities are infinite. Muzart creates an abstract art form by colliding graphics with music, which creates a piece of artwork that can never be duplicated as the visual form, color, and composition are illustrated based upon the beat of drum, the strum of a guitar and other defined sounds.

As an artist, I am always looking for new and innovative ways to advance my art. By using the technologies of the 21st century I am moving forward and creating a new artistic realm. I believe a constant change is a very important part of our lives. Experimenting in Art is often a rewarding, passionate and satisfying experience. My discovery of Muzart was extremely exciting. Making tremendous sound waves or music on the computer may sound complicated but in fact, the more sound and the more noise, the more fun one can have. By combining soul and passion with technology I have created a new generation of art and artist--Muzart…



Stay tuned for the New Art – Muzart. The New Art - “Muzart” can be found at: http://www.dreamersmoonstudio.com/ .

“How to Put Passion Into Your Art”

This is a guide for those of you who are proficient in the arts from a technical standpoint and would now like to put some magic or “passion” into your work. To give your work passion is a personal process for each of us, but the following ideas can help speed that process and help take your work to a deeper level. The "passion" of an artwork is an essential factor of art and while it has no visible structure, it is still something that needs to be addressed for an artwork to be complete.
First of all, what is passion? It is the magic element that your audience senses. It has no real form on its own. Passion is the emotion you impart into your art work. Like the emotion love, it is something we all know exists but words can never really convey its true essence. Even if one is not sure what passion is when it comes to art, we can easily sense when it is not there because the work feels empty. An example of passion-less art is the art seen in hotels such as the mass produced landscapes, ocean scenes and bland cityscapes done in pastel colors. An example of art with passion would be a Jackson Pollock abstract painting, an Auguste Renoir painting, Georgia O’Keeffe Art of the Southwest, or a Michael Angelo sculpture. These never fail to touch the passion on a deeper level.
To develop a more passionate quality in your work, it is necessary to surround yourself with what or who you wish to be. Many great artists from the past have stated that "you are what you literally consume in life" and make it a point to be around and surround yourself with the best. If you are around excellent and inspirational art, then these qualities will start to inspire the emotions within yourself. It is helpful to attend museums, high profile art openings and to surround ourselves with beautiful artwork.
All great art begins with a strong emotion or feeling. If you are not in touch with your feelings the amount of passion available to your work will be diminished. Passion is the fuel of the art process and it drives us to strive for our very best. Without passion, no matter how technically brilliant your work is, it will end up leaving the viewer with a cold, unsatisfied feeling. Passion is something that cannot be faked, so it is essential that you know yourself at a deeper level. This way you can bring it to your work and your canvas. When it comes to art, definitely follow your heart (being the area where passion resides) and it will take you where you need to go.
Do not be afraid of the negative emotions that come up in the course of developing one's art, instead look for the hidden gift within the negativity (it is always there). When you are alone working in the studio, you can plan on experiencing some negative emotions including self- doubt, boredom and loneliness. Dealing with these negative elements is a necessary part of the art process and will serve to make your work stronger. Feeling a strong emotional passion actually helps create amounts of potential "art" energy within. This energy can be harnessed and become the fuel of your creativity while serving your art work with passion when you understand how to work these emotions. If you are angry, it is a good time to put that on a canvas before the emotion escapes you. This can be a breakthrough and a great release to help satisfy those emotions while creating a masterpiece.
Great art demands that the artist focus on an idea for long periods of time. Finally, to create art with depth and passion it is necessary to allow a force that is higher than oneself to participate in the creative process and there lies the true magic of art. How you get to that point is up to you. Whether you lose yourself in your work, focus on the moment, delve into the world of spirituality, spend time in nature, the connection has to be made. For an artist to be truly inspired, a connection with a force outside of your self is a natural part of the creative process and brings more a passionate quality to your artwork.
Putting passion into your art is a unique process and requires a concerted effort on the part of the artist over a span of time. It is a worthy goal because art that possesses passion ends up touching many people in a positive way. The work then becomes valued by society and ultimately ends up in museums. Vincent Van Gogh, one of France's best impressionistic painters, summed it up nicely when he stated:"I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say, "He feels deeply, he feels tenderly." As we all know, he accomplished this to a high degree in work. Now is the time to call to all artists, to go forth and produce a masterpiece.
