Just like music, art has been one of the oldest avenues of communication. It transcends language barriers. Regardless of the skin color, one kind of art can be understood the same way. At other times, the same kind of art projects a different interpretation especially if the art is abstract. That is just the way it is. It welcomes different opinions which are unique to the individual’s point of view. It transcends religious or political views. Even the infamous Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci has been the most talked about, the most visited, the most written and sung about piece of art throughout the whole world. The only ones who cannot relate are those who are blind, yet, some blind used their imagination to appreciate the same.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Fine LDS art has many examples to show that anyone can appreciate art. With the availability of the internet and the ease of delivery all over the world no one can stop anyone from owning LDS paintings. Most will have an effect on one’s feelings and outlook. They have the quality that shouts for positive outlook.
Paintings are great to have in one’s domain. A bedroom with nice paintings will make you think and appreciate life. It makes one meditate. It makes the mind work its neurons so as not to leave them stressed or simply tired but it gives new spark. An idle mind breeds evil so if the mind is meditating as a result of looking at the painting, then that painting is doing a good job to make life better. Situations may not be as good but the acceptance of challenges is more like easier than without the help of the painting. Of course there are paintings that are a result of bad emotions. You will not choose them, though, will you?
very interesting facts, i have less knowledge when it comes to this, maybe because i don’t pay that much attention, thank you for sharing though.
I admire people who can give meaning to a painting or can read the meaning behind a painting like for instance an abstract. They are those that really appreciate and understand the language of art.
I’m not really into arts but I do know how to appreciate a good one. When it comes to paintings, I love those that depict nature’s beauty. I find them very calming and interesting.
every artist has the right to express their emotions on their artistic talents. good will be good, bad will be bad… they are amazing people…
arts is somewhat and expression of emotion. A lot of artists would say through music or paintings or what have them would say that they were able to express their feelings through it. Arts and music is really part of our lives
I am not good in painting and yes, I definitely won’t choose those that are produced through a bad emotions. Art is powerful and everyone has that artistic skill withing him, however simple it may be. I am not born an artist, but I am one of those who appreciate art in its essence.
i love arts, they’re indeed very interesting and exceptional especially to those people who have skills. I tend to have some of it i guess but not really explore more. I should have.
I do not know how to paint but I always appreciate people’s art talent and skill. It amazes me how beautiful and creative their art work
i admire paintings but if i am honest, it is hard for me to interpret the meaning behind any i have seen.. i guess because i am not an artist.. i see them mostly as decoration which probably will make any artist cringe since every art form to them is almost sacred..
i love murals or paintings especially those at the exhibits, It’s amazing how artist can come up with such a simple yet with deep meaning paintings.
Art is actually a form of language since an artist uses it to express his emotions, beliefs and ideas.
when it comes to painting we are be going to study about different style of painting in this way well know about art and other parts. but i am not good.
how I wish I have that kind of talent. I truly do appreciate the beauty of art.
Many people are artists in their own way. But I must say that God is the Greatest Artist. He has made the nature around us and can color the trees beautifully every Autumn. No human artists can do that.
i was in painting when i was in hs but things has change when you grow up…
My boss before has a painting collection and I honestly can’t understand how she decides on what painting to choose, it’s just really her cup of tea I guess.
My mom is a good painter… she can see art in everything she sees…I hope I have the same gift … pero wala talaga…LOL!
i’m not artistic enough to be called an artist. but i can sure tell and appreciate when an artist makes his art specially when it’s from the heart.
thanks for sharing!
Sigh, I am such a frustrated artist! It’s really one of the skills I want to have, but I am just not gifted. Thanks for sharing these interesting facts, Gay!
I appreciate all those that have the talent and skill to do a masterpiece. I am not an artist, only a fan
I always admire those people who can paint well. My mother-in law was an artist and I always like her paintings. I paint a little before but not doing it now a newbie like me is not wanted to do it more hahaha…
And my pocket don’t understand why murals and creations from popular painters has to be that expensive.
