Did you agree with the statement "Modern and contemporary art is not real art"?

Autor: German Herreiz Blasco


Yes, I agree. I am not an expert in art but, in my opinion, this thing so-called ``art´´ in my opinion isn´t art because it is more strange and sometimes horrifying, for example, the other day, I read the other day about an artist who painted her pictures with her own vomit. If I see saw her picture I would never buy, because it isn´t art, it is vomit, however people like and I don´t know like why.
On the one hand it´s really that art which only experts understand the experts so behind the first appearance but I don´t understand how people like pay millions for this pictures. these paintings

Modern and contemporary art are is often considerated not to be real art because of their oddity.
Personally, I don’t really like the art. I don’ think that a black spot on a white canvas can’t be considered a very valuable piece of art, but because the definition of art is "Whatever wich which just has just an aesthetic function" so, even the picture of the spot can be considered to be art following the definition.
Taking this into account, every piece of modern an contemporany art is, in fact, art, despite the people’s liking. likes and dislikes.

No, I disagree with this statement. I think modern art is just a different art. Previously everything was more perfectionist, and contemporary art comes to innovation. It is true that sometimes turns out to be a bit "strange", but it is art after all. The dictionary defines "art" as a virtue, disposition and ability to do something. So, if a person is able to build a building, but not following the classical traditions, why should we say that it is not art? Inside each person there is a style, and that is what is transmitted with modern art, the individual art, but usually following a few prototypes, obviously. For me personally, I don’t like classical art neither the modern, I ’m more of prefer abstract art, or the well-known "impressionist one".

No, I am not don’t agree with the statement. I don’t know enough about art in order to give my opinion about it  like for judge it, but I like paintings. In my opinion, I think the modern and contemporary art is only a kind of art. Because for example, in my case, I think that the real art is the realistic works  painting pictures, the old art...the art of hundreds of years ago
I don’t understand why there are people who pays millions of pounds for things that are supposed ’’art’’. People values more than it should the modern art is more worth-while.

I disagree with that stament. Art has so many ways to be expressed, it just depends on  how artists want the audience to perceive it. 
At first art just represented the reality as the artist saw it, was a realistic type of art, but as humanity has developed, with this  it has also developed new types of art, more appropiate of modern life or just an artist wanted to turn the toast and claim a new way of expression.
One relevant example of it could  will be Andy Warhol, he made ’pop art’ of most day-to-day things and it is considered art, because not everybody have has the an genius’ mind of appling to everyday things artistic point of view and transform it into a work of art.

In my opinion, considering myself an art-lover, this term is losing not its meaning but its essence. No one will ever complain about calling art the magnificent Baroque work of Caravaggio, as well nobody can deny the beauty of ’The Gates of Paradise’ by Ghiberti.
On the other hand there’re plenty debates about the legitimacy of calling art to modern art. It’s, fFor example, could a red dot on a white canvas art be considered as a work of art? For me the answer is no. I won’t put at the same level Durero’s ’Melencolia I’ and the what Andy Warhol made.
But we’re losing the true meaning of art, anything that makes us feel something big just by sensing it. Something beautiful.
So, although I don’t consider the majority  most of contemporary art as art, I know that I would enjoy standing before ’The Gates of Hell’ by Rodin, even if Rodin is a modern artist. 
The points of view are endless,that’s the true essence of art, anything can be beautiful depending on the eyes that look  of the viewer

From my point of view, Contemporany and Modern art it’ is less beautiful than classic art.
During the past centuries, it have done there are many works of art, such as "La Giocconda", the fresh frescoes of Sistine Chapel or "David" of by Michelangelo  Miguel Ángel. We could say that there are real works of art because they have being visited by milions of tourists during the every year.
It’s true that in the last century also artists have also created were performed works masterworks such as "El Guernica", which it’ is  also avowed well-known all over the world, but in this century also emerged Avant-garde Vanguards also emerged, which , in my opinion, I think that are abstract art and I don’t like them.
In summary, classic art have has been surviving living many centuries because it’s the real art.

In my opinion, modern art is art even if some people disagree with my opinion because it’s true that it’s a different way of art and some people may not like it but i I think that every piece of art or every modern monument which/that makes you feel something, though even if it is surrealistic, but it is art, like the same as classic art.

Moreover every piece of classic art was modern when it had been made for example Barroque pieces were a new modern trend, because for a long time, art was just Renaissance productions but the Barroque trend broke the canon of that moment, which was Renaissance one and now we consider Brarroque pieces as classic art.

I am going to talk about the affirmation statement “modern and contemporary art is not real art”. I am not don’t agree about it  that statement, in my opinion art is not only one, two or three things. Art is all around us, and definitely we can not cannot say that modern or contemporary art is not a real art.
I think that we can not cannot define art as a concrete model, such as modern art or gothic art or classic art. One picture or one building for me can be modern and for other person can be classic. The art is something so much objective. subjective
For other part On the other hand, so much some kind of art is not considerate as art. If you go to the city centre of any city such as Venice or Paris you will see people playing violin, playing whatever instrument or even painting beautiful paintings on the floor. And sometimes it is not called art.
We have to consider make that type of art is also called real art.

In my opinion, the modern and contemporary art is not art, because it’s too weird and stupid. For me the real art is the classic one that is the art that has survived over the centuries. I personally do not like the art, I do not understand how a single point or a line can be considered as art, but the definition of art in the dictionary says that `` art is any activity or product done by man with a purpose aesthetic or communicative, through which they express ideas or emotions’’
I am not an art expert, so I can not cannot judge say whether a work is art or not, but my simple own opinion is that true art is the classic one.

I disagree with that statement. I think that art is every something which is very visual or auditive thing and that makes you take your mind off things, go away from the place you are, and not only a beautiful image copied from a woman or a still life. Lots of great painters couldn’t be able to see their job work recognised, for instance, Vincent Van Gogh or Franz Kafka. Frida Khalo [Franz Kafka is a writer, not a painter]
I don’t know enough about art to give a adequate suitable opinion, but I think that this art is another kind of art. Artists express themselves through art, and perhaps their surreal vision of the world can’t be understood by our little minds yet anyone [your comment is too personal, too modest]

We can see there  could examine a medieval civilization from Middle Ages, where people lived in communities, and a military group has had taken the power of the country.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE SENSES IN MY LIFE? ABOUT ABOUT OTHER SENSES?

(Personal real experiences)

Autor: Beatriz Bosch Vila


The senses are very important in our life. One at a time, if we had no sense of smell we wouldn’t know by the smell of food if it is in good or bad condition. If we didn’t have (or hadn’t) the sense of touch we wouldn’t notice realise if something is burning our skin or we are falling asleep our feet because of the cold. If we didn’t have (or hadn’t) the sense of hearing we couldn’t call someone to communicate us each other . If we had no sense of taste we couldn’t taste the flavor flavour of good or bad things. And the most important thing, the view sight, if we don’t know that sense we wouldn’t know what life is. 
But apart from these senses, I believe that there is a sixth sense that not everyone has developed in the same way. This sense is intuition. For example, often we are often sitting in the classroom and suddenly, we feel as if we are were being observed. If we take a look at the class, possibly one person is looking to where we are sitting.

It is true that the five senses are important, but there are some of them are more important than the others, for example in my case, I have no sense of smell because I suffered an accident in my since childhood by an accident, and I’ve led had a normal ordinary life, what I mean is that even if you don’t have lack a sense you can live equally without problems, it is true that it is more complicated if you lack vision or hearing, since because if you are missing the view  sight you cannot know that what you have had before, but in this case we can use  WAD (?) in such a way that by means of that sense saying we can do an interpretation of what is before us.
I particularly think the sense that more we often use and at the same time the most important is the ear hearing, since because a certain type of music can remind us of feelings of loneliness, joy and moments that you spent with an important person, and as I’ve said before, from my point of view the ear hearing is the true sense that which unites us with the world and therefore the most important things.

In our daily life, we are aware that our senses such as sight and hearing are indispensable. Although, sometimes we don’t pay too much attention.
Sight and hearing have a key role when you have to perceive elements. If you don’t have it, it can be a problem. Because you can fall or trip tip over something.
I think that everyone should go to the ophthalmologist to inspect check up his/her eyes. As well It is also important to revise your sense of hearing. Because with that you can know all that what is happening around you, almost without almost looking noticing.

The senses are important in our life. Without them we couldn’t see, hear, smell, touch or taste. We don’t realize because we use it them every day and at any time, but without them our life would be a real serious chaos.
In my opinion the most important sense is sight. If you don’t think it proves to be twenty-four hours blindfolded and continue with your normal life, I’m not saying that the other senses aren’t important. The hearing is also quite important and  it would be very dangerous to go down the street, you couldn’t hear the cars coming. You must take care of all your senses but the view is the most important and it is also the most delicate, so you must pay close attention.
For me the sixth sense doesn’t exist, the senses give us information from the outside, and what many people describe as senses don’t do that.

The senses are very important in our life. But above all, the most important is the view sight, because without it we could not see everything around us, we could not see the people that we care so much and with whom we live, we could not play sports like football, basketball etc.
Another reason besides the sport is that we could not watch movies films or videos, or television in general.
The other senses are also important because they can savor the we  can taste the food we like, we  can with an ear to  hear the music that we like, to smell the scents smell surrounding us and we can distinguish by touch the things we touch .

For these reasons and many more, the view sight is the most important sense in my life.

The senses are an essential part for the humans, without them, we couldn’t see, hear, feel, taste or smell. ¿How would be the life without one of them?
In my opinion, it’s possible live without some sense, but the life turns more difficult.
Some years ago, I had lived a hart hearted experience.
I was in the street, in front of a zebra crossing, when I saw a man who wore a walking stick, sunglasses and a trained dog.
While the man was crossing the road, the semaphore turned red. Then, people who was in the cars, began to cry and insult him. Probably, these people, didn’t have any blind familiar, and they couldn’t have done an idea about how felt the man.
From my point of view, people who lack some sense, such as sight or hearing, are very limitated for the society, a selfish and lacking-feelings society.

The senses are very important in daily life. Nowadays, in a society where technology is essential, the lack of some senses can be a big problem. I think that sight is the most necessary sense because if we didn’t have it we wouldn’t be able to use internet, play computer games, watch tv, read books, etc. These are things that we couldn’t live without.

Despite this, I also think the other senses play a very important role in our lives. Once, when I was child, I had a cold, a really bad cold. It meant that I couldn’t taste the flavours of food. Chocolate and rice had the same flavour, it was horrible! For this reason, I think that all the senses are important.

All senses are equally important to know and interact with our environment and to live our daily lives. Moreover, despite having a greater consideration in sight or taste, without hearing we couldn’t walk properly because we would lose our balance. Or even if we lose our sense of smell, we couldn’t appropriately taste meals.
It’s funny how in school they continue to teach us that there are only 5 senses, when actually there are a few more. For example, we can realize that we can safely move our arms without observing them from outside by sight. Not only when we move, we have a perception of our own body position and without it we probably couldn’t even move without looking what we’re doing. Another example is that we can appreciate the state of rest, fatigue or discomfort in our bodies.
In brief, the senses send a lot more information to our brain that we could even imagine and we aren’t aware that without any of them our lives would be much more complicated.

Probably, everyone has meet at least once a blind or deaf person, who has a relatively regular life, with its difficulties, but regular, anyways.
Perosnally, I can’t imagine my life without seeing or hearing anything, or even without one for the other senses.
That’s why I think that people with this kind of disabilities are pretty admirable.

Every day, we use the senses for everything that we do. For example, we use the senses when we walk to the street, if a car comes to us too fast, to see the traffic lights. In this example, we use the sense of view. In another moments, for example when we are cooking, maybe we use the sense of touch. When the food is too hot or too cold we touch the food and we ascertain that. Besides, when we speak to another person, we are using the sense auditory.

With this, the senses are too important in this society because if they don’t exist, probably we don’t survive in this world with the news technologies about the TV or the computers. Also, the sense auditory is essential in this world, because the music is important to have fun moments and entertain us. But I think that the most important sense is the view because whit this we can see films, persons, TV, to reading, to driving...

A normal person, without any disability, has five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. The most valued are the sight and the hearing, and the others are not considered as important as these. But, are there any new or different senses? The diccionary says that a sense is “Any of the faculties by which stimuli from outside or inside the body are received and felt”. If we take this as a starting point, we could think that there are other senses. Maybe some people have a “sixth sense”, a supernatural power, and they can see death people, like in the famous movie. And it’s no need to go that far, some people have the power of knowing the people’s feeling, and they have just to watch them, or they can feel the other’s feelings: that’s called empathy.
Maybe in the future, human beings suffer a evolution that make us able to see and understand the world in a fourth dimension, but hey, they are just simple theories.

For people, the senses are very important for daily living.
Thanks to the senses, we can better understand the world around us and understand it better.
For example, the view allows us to see anything, people, colors ... etc.
Smell helps us distinguish the smells of food, people, flowers and any cosa.Tambien can distinguish between good smells and unpleasant odors, such as garbage.
Touch allows us to touch any object and also know more about him, without touching, we could not perceive textures.
The ear helps us to hear any sound, including music, television and voice of the people.
Taste helps us to savor the taste of food and so we can enjoy it.
In short, without the help of the senses, we could not enjoy life.

The senses are very important, because without it , we could not understand the world.
The senses are necessary for the day to day, if we had not senses, we couldn´t see the film or smell the food.
For my, the most important sense is hearing, because with this we can listen to music and anything worth.
The other hand smell is also very important, because many studies show that we can remember a smell all live. We associate smell whit good or bad regards, and relate this smell whit experiences of our lifes.
But the senses have also bad things, how eat a bad food or see a scary movie,in this moment many people desire haven´t senses.
Finally , I thing that teh senses are necesary for know the world, for living a lot of experiencies that fill your life whit good times.

In our daily life we use the senses constantly. Without them doing any basic action is very difficult. For example we could not drive or watch TV without hearing. We could not escuhcar music without the sense of hearing. Our life is very difficult without them, they are really necessary.

Could we consider intuition as a sixth sense Scientists say that if we listen to our intuition when making decisions were right 90% of the time because our brain analyzes data collected in previous decisions to decide which is the better choice. So what could be considered as a sixth sense.

I do not think there is any sense as some people claim extrasensory like seeing ghosts or spirits for me all these are fallacies.

I think that senses are very important for us. But, we believe that we couldn’t live without them, but there a lot of people that can’t see or hear and, with difficulties,they achieve live like us. It must be recognized that the senses make easier our life, for instance, without sight, we couldn’t drive a car, and we would have to walk to everywhere. And without taste, we couldn’t enjoy the wonderful flavors of food. Nowadays, the technology is very advanced, and exist devices for simplify the life of blinds and deafs.
To sum up, I’m not saying that we can live without senses, but I think that is possible have a ordinary life if you can’t see or smell, and I believe that in the future will be easier.

It seems to me that this song refers to a poor boy that who had to leave his house when he was just a child. Fame He was promised fame to him and he finally ended up living in the poorest neighborhoods. Despite that, he tried to get a job but no offers were given to him. At that time he only desired to be at home because he felt very lonely. Until then he had been living on a prayer (?) but he knew that inside him there was a tireless boxer. A boxer ready to take the hits due to the hope of a better life.

If I were president, I would change many things such as the educational policy, I wouldn’t make students learn some useless subjects, despite that, I wouldn’t reduce school time, making students study more hours of the real important ones, moreover I would forbid holydays holidays homework, holydays days off are times to relax, actually indeed. Therefore they shouldn’t be legal.
From my point of view, nowadays students have to study lots of plenty of unnecessary things that shouldn’t be obligatory compulsory, if this these things were not teached taught, student’s qualifications marks would be better.

If I were president I would change many things because I think that the today’s political economic policy model is not correct. I would propose the capitalist model; inasmuch, as in my view point, it is the best one. Some countries which have got this model system,for instance EEUU the USA, they have emerged from the crisis.

This system is very simple, it facilitates helps people to buy things in shops for this it reduces taxes producing that society consumes spend more money. Furthermore the government economically>> helps companies in an economic way.
In summary these measures produce that people purchase more and factories manufacture more products and all this produces work for people

In short, If I were president i would change the economic model because in my view point it is the form way in order to we will emerge from the crisis in a near future.

If I were president I wouldn’t be like most of the presidents we have nowadays. I feel that our society seems to be democratic and respectful but actually lots of people in our country aren’t happy with their lifes lives. I think that if I were president I would change many things for instance I wouldn’t make a politics to protect big companies but small ones and I would try to make long time long-term contracts to work not just works of one or two months one month or two because it provides creates unemployment. And of course I would respect a lot am for public schools and hospitals because I see them necessary to develop our society and moreover I wouldn’t do like most of the presidents: I wouldn’t make a politics specific policy for me to earn more money!

If I was were the president, I wouldn’t look after my interests. I would look after economy, society and workers interests.
In the first place Firstly, relating with to the educative system, I wouldn’t make cutbacks in education. Nowadays, Spanish education has many cutbacks and the children can’t study as they used to do some years ago. They receive fewer and lower scholarships. So With that the young Spanish youth are is less educated.
Relating Linked to the economy, I would increase only the taxes of to the richest families. It would probably be negative for me, as I wouldn’t count with rely on the support of the privileged classes. But I think that, with that that’s why the economy can improve.
About works jobs and workers, I wouldn’t reduce the salary salaries nor the number of workers. Instead, I would eliminate the machines that take jobs, and in that their place I would put enlist workers who can do that work perfectly. That There can be another reform to improve the work.
To summarize, If I was were the president I would do more things that aren’t doing now, and surely I would change the economy, etc. for the society, not for me.
