@magnoliatree123 a grotesque is a type of statue or sculpture carved into a building's exterior. Generally they were monsters like chimeras or manticores, and if they also dealt with water, those were known as gargoyles. They had something to with warding off evil spirits, I think. I forget if the spirit thing was debunked But yeah, grotesque became a perjorative because people were comparing something or someone to this statue of some warped monstorous amalgum
@@magnoliatree123 this is my guess here, but I think what the original comment was saying was that the word "grotesque" the one that means repulsively ugly comes from a specific type of sculpture genre of the same name. It becomes ironic because sculptures (no matter how they look) are considered art. (Like, you know how music has different genres but each one is still called music? I think it's similar to that. Like sculpture is the overall word for what they are and the grotesque is just a specific genre of sculptures.) (This is my guess. I could be completely wrong.)
The first paragraph under 'grotesque' on Wikipedia explains it fairly well: 'Since at least the 18th century (in French and German, as well as English), grotesque has come to be used as a general adjective for the strange, mysterious, magnificent, fantastic, hideous, ugly, incongruous, unpleasant, or disgusting, and thus is often used to describe weird shapes and distorted forms such as Halloween masks. In art, performance, and literature, however, grotesque may also refer to something that simultaneously invokes an audience feeling of uncomfortable bizarreness as well as sympathetic pity.'
If the artists can't even come up with a universal definition of art then I will stick to the broadest definition I know - art is short for artificial. It's as simple as that. Art doesn't have to be good or bad or thought provoking or anything else just some human being had to have a hand in its design, assembly or creation. A sunset is not art but a picture of a sunset is art.

The word "grotesque" has a fascinating origin. Emperor Nero had a huge palace called "domus aurea". When he was gone, this palace was not destroyed; rather, it was filled up to the top with rubble from another building site, and on top, a bath was built. 1500 years later, the rubble in the palace had sagged, creating caves under the surface of the long-ruined baths. People broke into those caves which they called "grottos". And in those grottos, they found wall paintings from Roman times that were completely different from the paintings they had. So they called that art "grotesque" - "art from the grotto". _

You want to encourage independent thinking AND show art? I’m sorry, you’re not a good fit for the US public school system; have you thought about starting a TH-cam channel? As an elementary school teacher, you’ll find the maturity level familiar…
@@epbrown01 want to explain yourself , or are you just fine with showing an empty opinion and perspective revealing yourself to have no understanding of independent thinking?
For elementary school? I would use the vase or the two faces piece. If you see the vase then you stand on one side of the room, faces stands on the other. Pull one student from each group to explain where they see the vase (the white) and the faces (the black). This allows freedom of thinking to be encouraged because both are right, it just depends on if you're looking at the negative or positive space. That's my idea on it anyway.
Everything is art. My professor in psychology used to play a random video each day right before starting, because "psychology is everything." I feel the same way about art.
How I see it is like. Art is something created to cause a reaction/ emotional response. Disgust, joy, awe, sadness, isolation, etc. It must be created, a field isn't art as it is just naturally occurring but a painting of a field is art as it was made.
I would argue that art doesnt necessarily have to be *created* to be art. (I'll elaborate, bear with me.) All art is simply expression of the artist and interpretation of the audience. it doesnt exactly have to invoke a specific reaction from viewers. It doesnt have to tell a story. It doesnt even really need to be shared with others. And I dont think it has to be something physical you can see or touch or hear. Philosophy could and should count as an art medium too, after all. Its really just all about Expression, and how it connects you to yourself and the world. Thats the beauty of Art. Tbh, feilds are pretty cool just as they are. And really, If you stop and think about it and appreciate it, have you not just created a little bit of art within your own head?
@MasioW To try and answer your question imo, Christians and others who believe God created the naturally occurring field would most likely see it as art. Even non- believers may view the field as art. I strongly believe that art is decided on by each individual person strictly based on the fact that art can’t be proven; it can be agreed on,though, by two or more people who have the same opinion on a piece of art. ✌️❤️🙂
As a nerd coming from death metal and video games grotesque art is a big part of both communities. I mean people who don't listen to metal see our album covers and im sure find them horrid or vile... When in reality a massive chunk of metal covers came from amaaaazing artists like beksinski, Michael Whelan or Dan seagrave. Shit Francis bacon's art is some of the most upsetting art you'll ever see... Still art.
We actually discussed this in my art class once. My professor said that art's true meaning is based on the people who perceive it. As long as that something holds meaning to either the creator or the viewer, it's art.
Art, at it's very root, is something that makes you feel. Be it comforted or perturbed or angry or anything, and if you or anyone feels anything, then it is art.
Correct- as creation comes from ones perspective and understandings of creations. This is why human development exists: humans passionate about materials become to work them- we got metal because someone worked ore, we have rubber because someone was experimenting with tree saps, etc. when you realize this and then take a look at our culture today you begin to see how oppressed our human nature for creation has become due to corporate monopolies owning and controlling most of the worlds resources to the point of limiting most citizens access to basic necessities.. interesting isnt it?
Almost as rotten as what’s happening to our children in schools today. Our kids minds are not safe in the education system from kindy to university. What a shame that uncouth filth hatred aggression in sold as “FREE SPEECH”
This is a good way to frame how art is viewed. Graffiti is art, Crochet is art, And crafts are art. These were once not considered art, but they are considered art now. Some work like the banana taped into the wall, or a blank canvas, as pretentious as it sounds, it is art cause it challenges experimental art, and how it is seen.
Art is anything made by man that evokes an emotional response. when she says "it's grotesque" that indicates she's feeling disgusted by it, therefore the painting IS illiciting an emotional response from her, therefore it is art
Ok i bought into it and watched this movie last night. Name: Mona Lisa Smile And it was so good! All incredible female actresses in one film. The message was also very progressive for the time period it was capturing.
My humanities teacher did something similar. We looked at multiple pieces and were asked if it was art. The Mona Lisa was one, and everyone said it was. Then she showed a photo of an upside down urinal. A lot argued it wasn’t art. But then she told us the backstory, which was, the urinal was to bash the French government and the rich during WW1. Then a lot of people argued it was art for the message. Art is more of an open mind concept,
What is art to one person may not be considered art by another. That’s the beauty in how we each see things differently. Btw, I’ve never seen this movie . I was never intrigued by it enough until I saw this clip. Now I can’t wait to watch it !!
Grotesque, is subjective 😂. Just like the idea of “good” and “bad/evil”. Just because it’s not within your realm of your ‘art’, it don’t mean it isn’t. That’s what makes art fascinating ^_^.
Art is beauty, art is the reflection of good and bad in the world to help us remember the evil and the good. If it does neither than it is not art, it has nothing to do with feeling. Feeling is not how we define good or bad. There is a moral code for that. We see a painting of a mother and her baby and see beauty. We see a painting of a corpse and remember that because of sin we have death. If we cannot see and remember either it can not be art. Simply put, abstract cannot be art for it causes nothing but confusion.
Betty has never left USA. You can’t tell me that the statues and gargoyles etc around the world are pretty, but aren’t considered art. Good art is was subjective
People put the word "Art" on too high a pedestal. It is simply giving form to expression, yet many want to reserve the term only for what they think belongs in a museum. Anything and everything can be art, from the Mona Lisa to a child's scribble. If I point at some dog shit and go "haha it's me" boom, that's art
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen The painter has the universe in his mind and hands Study the science of art; Study the art of science - Leonardo da Vinci That’s art in my opinion
art is not art until we are told so, yeah girls you don’t get to enjoy art because of that. some knowledge is not in books it’s in the eyes of the beholder
"It's art!" "...umm, Ms. Watson? I just wanted you to know that you cant just say the word art and expect anything to happen." "I didn't say it. I declared it."
Kirsten's character isn't getting the point but she's not off-base by calling the piece "grotesque." Whatever people think art is supposed to be, most agree that it should inspire something in the person that views it. She thinks it is grotesque. Ok good start. Why does she think it's grotesque? Does she feel anything else about it? Does she think this is what the artist wanted her to feel when she saw it? Is it possible he may have wanted her to see it differently? Probably the most succinct description of art is what the professor says when they go see the Jackson Pollock painting. "You aren't required to like it. You're only required to consider it."
In my opinion Art is art When it takes effort If you spend an hour painting something Anything That’s art Bad or good It’s art If you spend hours and hours thinking of a message to send with your art That’s art Just in a new form If you worked for months to learn how to take beautiful photos That’s art I’m a new form Same goes for music Sculpting Singing Dancing Making clothes Making movies Any form of art If you put effort into it It is art That’s why AI art is NOT real art Nobody put effort into it Maybe the creator of the AI did But it’s a tool Making a wrench isn’t making art You’ve made a tool Very good and all But it serves a function It doesn’t really have design to it To make AI art Means you typed in a few words and a machine spat out a picture That’s not art Bad art, is art that took no effort to create
art has always been a tool to make people think. its supposed to force you to think and thats why so many awful people try to dictate what is and isnt art
Got a closer view and understanding of the artist and the why… to the artist he was a vegetarian and could not digest meats, the painting represents his distaste of meat, and wanted others to understand his distaste for meat… it was meant to be grotesque. Personally I have a cousin who had a chicken farm… and I recall the smell of the “butchery” (grotesque) is the proper term. If you consider this art? Personally I would take a short glance and look to pictures of a more pleasant view.
I still draw the line at bananas taped against walls. We've finally found the line - if the janitor confuses it for junk throws it in the trash without the gallery dividers - it's not art.
Art is completely subjective, so it has no consensus . The history of art is one long demonstration of this. That said, the less skill and the less personal emotion that is involved, the less compelling it is.

“art is meant to comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comforted.” it can be “grotesque” but it’s still art
Bingo. People think art can't be grotesque, but that's the point of art. It's supposed to make you think, consider, look from a different perspective.
Nope, art is meant to edify and elevate the mind towards the 3 Transcendentals - the True, the Good, and the Beautiful

Anything and everything can be art, from the Mona Lisa to a child's scribble. If I point at some dog shit and go "haha it's me" boom, that's art
Poinless class and objectives. Art is subjective and usually a popularity contest unfortunately. "Who gets to decide"...
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen
The painter has the universe in his mind and hands
Study the science of art; Study the art of science
- Leonardo da Vinci
That’s art in my opinion
My final project for my art appreciation class was dedicated to grotesque art!
art is not art until we are told so, yeah girls you don’t get to enjoy art because of that. some knowledge is not in books it’s in the eyes of the beholder
Painting carcasses was nothing new in this setting. Dutch masters had been doing it for centuries. Betty needs to relook at a couple of things
I need to watch this movie because this is an absolutely all star stacked cast
I like Mona Lisa Smile. I gave it 8/10. It's nice recognizing many of the actors.
Snow White vs Mary Jane never thought I'd see the day they are in a movie together
Maybe its oversimplified, but I was taught that art is anything that was made to make you feel something.
I loved this movie when I was younger
Individualistic impressions,I think it stinks, but then I am a musician and I make vibrations that are very pleasant to listen to!

“Is there a rule against grotesque art?” Is that Snow White from Once Upon a Time
"It's art!"
"...umm, Ms. Watson? I just wanted you to know that you cant just say the word art and expect anything to happen."
"I didn't say it. I declared it."
Soutine, great artist.
Kirsten's character isn't getting the point but she's not off-base by calling the piece "grotesque." Whatever people think art is supposed to be, most agree that it should inspire something in the person that views it. She thinks it is grotesque. Ok good start. Why does she think it's grotesque? Does she feel anything else about it? Does she think this is what the artist wanted her to feel when she saw it? Is it possible he may have wanted her to see it differently?
Probably the most succinct description of art is what the professor says when they go see the Jackson Pollock painting. "You aren't required to like it. You're only required to consider it."
In my opinion
Art is art
When it takes effort
If you spend an hour painting something
Anything
That’s art
Bad or good
It’s art
If you spend hours and hours thinking of a message to send with your art
That’s art
Just in a new form
If you worked for months to learn how to take beautiful photos
That’s art
I’m a new form
Same goes for music
Sculpting
Singing
Dancing
Making clothes
Making movies
Any form of art
If you put effort into it
It is art
That’s why AI art is NOT real art
Nobody put effort into it
Maybe the creator of the AI did
But it’s a tool
Making a wrench isn’t making art
You’ve made a tool
Very good and all
But it serves a function
It doesn’t really have design to it
To make AI art
Means you typed in a few words and a machine spat out a picture
That’s not art
Bad art, is art that took no effort to create
Julia Roberts speaking is asmr
For me
The love of a peice of art's beauty is in the eye of the sences of the beholder. M.A.
art has always been a tool to make people think. its supposed to force you to think and thats why so many awful people try to dictate what is and isnt art
I just watched this movie (Mona Lisa's Smile) last night i loved it
Maggie Gyllenhaal is so awesome
What is the name of this movie?
Mona Lisa Smile
I've never seen maggie Gyllenhaal and Kirsten Dunst in the same movie, i stg i thought they were both kirsten dunst until the end 😭😭😭
Got a closer view and understanding of the artist and the why… to the artist he was a vegetarian and could not digest meats, the painting represents his distaste of meat, and wanted others to understand his distaste for meat… it was meant to be grotesque.
Personally I have a cousin who had a chicken farm… and I recall the smell of the “butchery” (grotesque) is the proper term.
If you consider this art?
Personally I would take a short glance and look to pictures of a more pleasant view.
I still draw the line at bananas taped against walls. We've finally found the line - if the janitor confuses it for junk throws it in the trash without the gallery dividers - it's not art.
Fantastic short
It's ALL art!!!❤❤❤
I'm surprised by their denial....they're into rejection without giving a chance to exploration.
I love how she asks "is there a rule against art being grotesque?". We should question everything. School should teach this. Improve humanity.
Excellent movie.
Art is completely subjective, so it has no consensus . The history of art is one long demonstration of this. That said, the less skill and the less personal emotion that is involved, the less compelling it is.
College professors convincing kids that grotesque painting and ideas are good? That's original
