Defining Art

Fluxus:
The art of using many form of art in one piece. Often given to the name of counterculture by artists who maintain one art form expertise at a time or in their lives.
Benefits: Avante-Grade of counter-culturism... come on..


Surrealism:
The art of using material vacant of meaning to create/build an image. (e.g. dots, paint splotches, solid shapes, horns, clouds, perspective even)
Benefits- Gives flavor to a beautiful image that displays little purpose.


Avante-Grade:
The art of playing with the boundaries of the present in an effort to make something new out of something that is not new.
The art of taking a step beyond the cliff that is current art... but not falling.
Benefits- Helps relieve the isolationism of propaganda when moving out of times of war.



DADA:
The difficult art of meaninglessness without being flushed into modernism.
The art of using form (not shape) while still avoiding purpose or reason.
Benefits- Helps relieve the tension of reality during harsher times in history.
Cons- In atmospheres already staunch with peace, it may cause dullness or bluntness
as the free minded would be given concrete brick to play with.
During these times, Modernism may be more appreciated.


Modernism:
The art of color and undetermined shape.
It may constantly be added to, but it will always be modern art.
Often used in Avante-Grade art as texture, space, or inspiration.
Benefits- Both alleviates the mind from focus and generates a pull towards finding personallity in pattern


Neo-Modernism:
Modern art with a concept and purpose beyond portraying modern art.
Benefits- Gives purpose to modernism... and teaches us what "Neo" means.


Pop Art:
The use of popular current art such as advertisements, comics, or fad material to collage a piece.
Benefits- Helps make stabs towards change of current mainstream demographics.


Doodle Art:
The counter culture art of both temperance and presence.
The art of imagining the finding the time to experience as perfect, and the art produced as the napkin.
Benefits- It still tends to look great, and is difficult to imitate style without adding your own personality.


Phantasmagoria:
The art of creating 3-dimentional live art using lights on material.
Materials include smoke, ice, water, buildings, etc.
(Different from sculpture.)


Clavilux Art:
The art of projecting light through source(s) of art, and displaying the meshed product.


Buddhist Art:
The art of understanding each moment as important and worth of perfection, as it exists in past-present-future. Counterintuitively, its product holds little importance.


Art:
Art IS Tao. (lol) :P
