Why Art?
You may have noticed the abundance of art that is presented on the channel. Our people have been putting markings on mediums since the dawn of time, and it is very important to realize art’s place in our history as a people, and how this creative craftsmanship touches the divine.
According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, it has various meanings. It is a “skill acquired by experience, study, or observation”, a “branch of learning”, “an occupation requiring knowledge or skill”, or “the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects”.
In our attempt to describe something that has a multifaceted meaning to many different members of our tribe, yet we can lose sight of what art truly is.
It is indescribable, yet one can say “stunning”, “beautiful”, “exquisite” or any other descriptor to give an accurate account of what a painting or sculpture means to that individual.
