Alan Myers Freelance Graphic Artist, Central Missouri
The world needs a comprehensive, working definition for the realm of the "arts". This definition succinctly satisfies that need.
 "Arta" means different things to different people. It has been a mystery! Since the age of twelve I wanted an "artist". Over the years I had become involved with numerous "art" work: drawings, sculptures, paintings in various media, architecture, photography, ceramics and writing. I've even been fortunate to "art" jobs: art and photography teacher, freelance artist have, supervisor of a graphic art department, museum exhibits designer and builder, and art director. In all those experiences and even with an education beyond the master I could not find a comprehensive definition of … "art". Indeed, I was an 'artist', but, how can I claim this intriguing group to really know what "art" was?
In the early 1990's, I participated in the improvement Visual Art Education Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, which was sponsored by the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Getty Center for the Arts. The conference basically centered around the concept of "Discipline Based Art Education". This rich arts education is believed to have four basic tenants should be treated in pedagogy and help give faith to the expenditure with limited budgets on having "arts" in the public school curriculum. These four areas are: history, theory / criticism, aesthetics, and production. It was of this conference that I came up with the design for the MIA PATCH curriculum for the Arts, as there is no lesson plan format that I new that really fit the "arts" education arena. One of the speakers, and I forget her name, was a professor of aesthetics at the University of Minnesota. She came closest to a definition of art that I could agree with, except for her, art was a concrete artifact, an art "object", something tangible to be reviewed over time. But, like many "artists" know, sometimes an artistic creation is designed to be fugitive, intangible by time, must vanish to satisfy her aesthetic intentions.
While jogging on an afternoon at the conference came to me, a revelation, "There is a simple, comprehensive definition of" art ", it is an acronym for themselves".
The Generation of aesthetic thought.
For art to exist, the following three (3) criteria must be met. The first is a sensory manifestation (Rendering) the diffuse or permanently, based on a creative, intellectual process (thinking) with the intention of a pretty or pleasant (aesthetic or anti-aesthetic) action or reaction, in one or more of the senses and / or the psyche.
Surrounded within this definition more than the traditional concepts of "art": painting, sculpture, ceramics, writing, architecture, theater, music, dance and photography. It is now easier to understand why cooking can be included as an "art" and more than one craft. Take confuse "craft" with "art". Artworks are original creations, one of a kind. Craft, on the other hand, the fastidious copying, reproduction of an artwork.
