Think carefully. What intellectually represents the meaning of art? After fifteen laborious
seconds of research (turning on my phone and searching it up on Google), I learned the main
definition for art is “an imaginative and creative form of expressing the non-tangible. Oftenly,
portrayed by the visual forms of sculpture, performance, and paintings. However, it can also be
expressed auditorily (through music) and through literature.” The concrete definition is a bit
different, I had to rephrase it to avoid plagiarizing. Works of art are usually noticed when created
by talented famous people like Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and Leonardo Da Vinci. What I
To prove that fame isn’t customarily talent, let’s ride the highway. I must initially go to
where the fame lies, literally. I traveled to Hollywood’s Walk of Fame to discover artists that
work their auditory magic. Without further adieu, allow me to present the man, the myth, the
fiercely. I proposed an interview and he gladly agreed. My first question to him was, “What was
your inspiration to become an artist?” I wanted to know what made him who he was. “My elder
brother,” he said loudly over the bustling street of Hollywood. “I used to hear him rap happily
about everything he could. In turn, I wanted to feel that beautiful magic and I want to share it
with the world,” he said with a smile. Satisfied with the answer, I asked him one more question,
“What do you envision for yourself in the future?” He looked at me as if the question was new
yet frequently asked. “A shot at the big stage wouldn’t be half bad, but what I really want is for
my music to be heard worldwide, ya feel? I want my words to touch everyone.” He then moved
his head upwards as if content with the words that were just spoken.
Music tends to be an art form many people gravitate towards. It is said by some that
music connects us all, whether we are the dotted half note before the rest or the eighth note
before the coda. I think myself to be a simple half note on the sheet. Waiting for the composer to
jot down the other half note to fill my bar. However, as wonderful as musical magic is, it is also
said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Visual art is one of the easiest forms of art to create
if it’s performance, architecture, or a painting. It may not be the best you’ve seen, but one man's
Visual art with its complex colors and distinct design. Feels extremely appealing to the
eye, it’s used in almost every aspect of our lives; whether it is the design of a magazine or
structure of the White House. I can’t afford paint, so drawing is my favorite pastime. Although
I'm not the best, I can recognize someone who is. Every time tend I observe him, he is drawing
or playing on the piano app. He is a dear friend named Jonas Rullier which, I got to interview. To
begin I asked him, “When do you draw?” he replied by saying, “I draw almost whenever I get
bored. It just gives me something to do.” Cool, I thought to myself. “Do you frequently see art in
your life?” Stopping his melancholic playing of the piano, he finally made eye contact. “Art has
been in my life ever since I could remember.” As it turns out, his grandfather drew Manga, a
Japanese style comic book read from left to right. To end the wonderful conversation, one final
question was asked. “Is what you render on the page planned or random?” “No, not usually
planned. Usually, I sketch what is going through my mind. Though sometimes, it’s the favorite
anime character at the moment.” With that, we finish learning about his emotion conveyed into
Ending my amazing journey in the land of sound waves and portraits. I noticed one art
form that did not get represented, literature. I didn’t find a writer without fame to interview.
However, the idea still stands that, and literature is one of the easiest ways to evoke emotion, just
ask anyone who has ever read a book. Look at Shakespeare for instance. He had to start at the
bottom along with everyone else. He himself wrote the quote, “A bad writer, can become a good
writer, and a good writer a great one. See, even he said that it did not take fame to evoke emotion
through art.
