High vs. Low Art | Alex Urasaki | TEDxCardinalNewmanHS

[@thesurvivorssanctuary6561]

Before I watch this video: I'd like to consolidate some thoughts I have on High vs. Low art through writing. First, "What is art?". To me, Art is merely an artificial representation of reality. Which is entirely how human beings function. Quintessentially, our worldview or perspective, is Art, and I honestly would describe "Art" as being the essential function of neurobiology. Second, I think the terminology is incorrect, and rather then thinking vertically, we should be using Right v. Left(or Lateral) labels. I think the verticality presents an idea of Authoritativeness and Rank. I think that this...Social Hierarchy for Art demeans and reduces the meaning of ART. Third, I think Art can be categorized into two essential bits; Right Art, which is PURE functionality, and gives scripted methods for interacting with the world. The purest forms of low/right art being carpentry, mathematics, and memory. Then, there's "High Art", or Left Art, which is based upon "Aesthetic Contemplation". This means that you interact with the ideas in a deeply contemplative and personal manner, as you allow the ideas to relate to and change each other. Basically, you are exploring the definitions and meanings of ideas and seeing how much you can distort them without breaking them entirely. Soooooo, kind of like inflating a balloon to the point before it pops, stretching clay until it's at the point of separation. The quintessential forms of Left/High Art being Music, Fiction-Writing, Poetry, Cartoons, and Dreaming(Pure Creativity).

This was very informational I can discern high from low art, thank you so much

[@arcticpossi_schw1siantuntija42]

ART IS ART! no need to distinguish high or low there shouldn't be a concept of low art as that just gets people disliked or underappreciated "high art" is basically just things lots of (primarily rich or influential) people decide to like as art and no one should get to decide what art is or isn't. Waterson's way of sorting art is pretty good. meaning vs no meaning is not elitist unlike high vs low

Very low-resolution understanding of the issue.

[@Checkmate1138]

Tends to be the case with most TED Talks.

High Art should express the highest virtues and goals with the highest beauty depicting in it's medium equal too or better than the natural world, but the karma of that allows improvement of technique to the level of at least the European Masters and so often that technique has then been used for propaganda or less than perfect ideals, especially to prop up the higher level in mere wealth caste and class systems that do not actively pursue virtue including the virtue of natural world preservation and spiritual enlightenment and healing and forgiveness being taught and being helped to be expressed at every caste and class and privilege and wealth and species level. So the negativity of the protest art movement sometimes misses the point of creating the highest ideal and then doing the best realistically optimistically that it can with this survival based world. To say that people should be disempowered by negativity if they are gaining more resources with too many character flaws is true to the higher ideals and they (the higher ideals) should be embodied by high art, including the higher shame that the spiritual upper castes and classes truly did come to begin to feel when they realized what poverty and overpopulation and a monetary system meant for lifestyle and dignity and temptation and the spiritual development of those in poverty. Only more of enough is better, more of the wrong thing is worse.

There is more though if we always, in any creation, try to bring it’s resource use and expression to Ikigai, and then increase the scale of the all ways work infinity stones Ikigai by each stone being more Woman and especially more a Woman refusing to be obese in work for only their own species but to be enough and growing in grace and work helpful enough to grow for all species and facets of culture helpfully.

Read some Leo Steinberg

[@MarkBrownBranding]

The arguments are weak and not addressing the topic. It sounds like your agenda is about making yourself feel good about not being as skilled as say Leonardo Davinci.

Im done with postmodernists. Im sorry I have eyes and a brain and I see and hear Pavarotti sing Its a mans world with James Brown and then I see and hear WAP by Cardi B and I can tell which is better. Beauty is not 100% subjective
