Art has always been a subjective in
nature and while there are many forms of it, it’s hard to really define what
art really is. I think art is anything that has been created for purposes of
being enjoyed. We saw in class people going to the great extremes in order
display beautiful art works. For example, the fire works show that was set off
on top Burj Khalifa building in Dubai was nothing less that magnificent. Blowing
up 50 million dollar for the purely entertainment and visual aesthetics is
something most would consider over the top.
Another extreme form of art is a
having the title of a castrato. A young boy would literally sacrifice he sexual
maturity by castration in order to have what was considered then a pure singing
voice.
