Crop Circle

This is a picture of a crop circle.  You can see these in crop fields in America and across Europe.  Crop circles take time and energy to create.  When I see these on television or in magazines, I think about the artistic mind that created this masterpiece.  Although this is not done with paint and paper, it is still something that can be viewed as art.  I believe that different cultures will find crop circles to artistic as well.  I think that because this kind of art spans across the Atlantic, it shows the great appreciation of art around the world.

Balboa Park

This is the Shade House in Balboa Park, San Diego.  The architecture of the Shade House can be seen as a thing of art.  I run past this every week for cross-country.  I am always mesmerized by how beautiful it looks.  I think that the architect for the Shade House could be considered an artist for the bold design that he or she did here.  I believe that other cultures and socio-economic backgrounds will see this building as a thing of beauty and art.

San Diego Sunset

This is a photo of a sunset in San Diego, California.  Sunset can be seen as art.  When looking at the sun go down, it creates different colors against the sky.  In cities with more pollution, when the sun is at the horizon it reflects colors of pink or purple against the clouds.  Living at the beach, I get to see this almost every night.  People from different cultures might not see the sunset as art.  People from different cultures might not have the same beautiful sunset that I get to see every night in San Diego.

Art in Nature

This photo was taken for the magazine National Geographic.  This a picture of lightning being mixed with the ash of an erupting volcano in Japan.  Looking at this photo, you can see how nature can make art as well.  The colors and lines that are being shown in this photo can make an argument about being an art piece.  Different cultures may argue that this is not art.  Some may believe that this photo is not art because there is not artist creating this.

Screenshot Zebra

I found this while surfing the Internet.  The piece is made on a black background.  The artist uses white font to create this image of a zebra.  From this piece you can see how art is evolving.  Art is being transformed into something that just does not involve a piece of paper and paint.  I believe that people from different cultures will see this photo as a thing of amazement.  I believe that they will be shocked to see something so beautiful be made from a computer.  I believe that it will be something that not a lot of cultures have seen before.

Amazing Food Art

I found this photo in a magazine.  I think that this is a new and interesting way to look at art.  This  coffee was transformed into a piece of art because of the way they added the foam to it.  I would call the person who designed this foam in the coffee an artist because of the amount of skill it took a person to create it.  I believe that people from different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds would see this as a piece of art as well.
