Re: Is a rose by any other name...
Posted By: Wado SGDate: 12/7/05 8:53 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Is a rose by any other name... (Brian Graham)

: I'll classify it as art if you give me the answers to a few questions.

: 1) Who is the artist?

The artist is the person playing the game.

: 2) Is everything we sit down and watch while eating popcorn to be considered
: art? Even if we enjoy it?

The human brain is said to be divided into sections. Parts of the brain are considered the creative or artistic portions. Art is what exercises or stimulates these parts of the brain. It is subjective to each individual what they consider art.

If it stimulates the artistic parts of the mind, then it has some art value to it. If it doesn't, then it is not of artistic value to that person.

: 3) Romans watched all kinds of things for entertainment purposes in the
: Colosseum. Were these art? If so, who was the artist?

The combatants were the artists, they were also entertainers, and they were fighters and in many cases killers.

Look at martial arts. For many reasons it is the learning of combat, but in order to excel in combat, one has to be creative and not just be complacent to be a predictable robot throwing punch, punch, kick all the time. This creativity is what inspires the artist, and is applied very real to combat.
