Problems+with+the+Arts

On this page please make a list of problems that come up with the area of knowledge. Along with the problem please explain how this affects the area of knowledge as a whole. Personally add at least 3 problems or fallacies.

Muna NehmeProblems with the arts Alex Blois 1. Sometimes it is impossible to really know what the artist meant in his artwork. This affects the area of knowledge regarding the meaning. According to what we have been learning something is not considered art without a meaning, but what happens if the meaning cannot be deciphered? It is why I consider it a problem in this area of knowledge.

2. Sometimes artworks are analyzed more than required. Most of these problems are encountered with simple artworks and people that want to come up with an over elaborated meaning to the artwork.

3. Most artists were not understood during their times and had no recognition for their their works. Most artists lived in poverty, and they were criticized a lot (especially impressionists), and some were even segregated by the community because their work was considered against some beliefs.

4. In most places art is restricted to an elite class. In most museums they charge an entrance fee, and given that most of the earth's population is poor, then they cannot see all the amazing artworks. Also people have created a stereotype that art is only for the educated, and it is untrue, everyone should be able to be part of this wonderful area of knowledge.

A lot of ethical considerations come into mind when considering an artwork offending or not 2-It is not easy to please everyone with an artwork. If the piece is conceptual, someone will label it, "too abstract." If the piece is realistic someone will label it, "too trite." If it has anything to do with religion, politics or race then you can count on numerous groups being offended. No subject is safe from retribution. 3- Difficult to understand It is a very difficult task to understand why an artist created his artwork like he did. It is hard to understand the point of view of the subject you are judging because you may be thinking one thing, but the authour might have thought something completely opposite of what you thought.
