Doesn't that mean "applied art" ? If "art is not for art sake" then you see a purpose and to realise it you need to apply it. It can be in multiple forms of engagement with the public and society at large. You need to delink the "elitist" baggage that still plagues art and artists.

Very weak! É uma burra!!

Feeling better

😮Wow wow wow 😮😂😊

X999 😂lol

Watching for Beanstack Credit!

Art occupies a different dimension and is the portal to it. The creativity and unexplainable concepts create the future and perhaps the past. It can be political or not (or thought to be). Support the arts.

I stopping watching Ted talk till today as an artist I love to give my own Ted talk soon

90% who what this for project or homework

Many questions came into my mind, but one is: Doesn't this presentation have a political undertone? A usa Liberal sided one? Because I fail to see how in her words, the world is being greatly influenced by conservative thinking

👏🏾🤍✨

swu ppl

I don't need to imagine. Because I live in such a world without music, cinema, dance and more. I live in Afghanistan. 🥲

Art shake the trees and all the monkeys fall down..

Got three minutes in, I totally disagree. I cannot stand socio-political art. Art with a message. I was looking more to explore the importance of form in our daily lives. Things like how streets are designs. That's important art.

She is WONDERFUL! One thing I can tell you for sure, Adorno and Horkheimer would, not only agree with her, but also celebrate her. Love this video.

My mind always goes back to our frequent visits to my ancestral home in Centane near Butterworth EC. My father’s elder brother who had never set his foot in a classroom, a practising traditional healer then, would bring pieces of wood from a nearby forest, find himself a comfortable spot under a tree and proceed to carve some items for fun. One of these would be a harp (uhadi); a long arm smoking pipe or a human face etc. There was never a question as to why he was doing it or what did it represent. It was just a God given skill that most people used to while away time if they were not in the fields working.

I could not agree more with you Katerina! Let's be creative!🙂

Pov t es un lycéen français qui étudié ça en anglais

Wesh les français

Ok then sum it up for me why is it important?

Typical brianwasbed humanities department robot subsuming art to further Marxist goals.

The one thing you realize is art is how we pass down our culture and ideas from one generation to another. Remember movies and TV reflect who we were, even the trashiest of it. Some of the first artists who reflected how the common person lived were the Dutch masters. Before that art was about religion, the rich. the powerful, and the warrior. It was impersonal. We are coming full circle back to the impersonal. Art must now be a caricature of what the powerful want us to be, not what we actually are.

Any Ielts candidate?

art is not a separating factor between humans and other animals. there are certain animals like the birds of paradise or certain fish that specifically focus on beauty in creating their homes but that is with the intention of attracting mates, and so are their mesmerizing and gorgeous dance performances and mating rituals.

can you help me to answer my assignment. the question is, What is the essence of art according to Katerina Gregos? Do you agree with her? Why or why not?

It's Land of Kate Biligton, what do you expect.

I was here for my college class , but I am IMPRESSED

I'm just watching this cause I'm bored lol

Art is an escape - that's why i love it

High school homework 😭

Art is used in politics for sure, but I'm over it- art as propaganda. Shared beauty brings people together. Shared opinion is an extension of social media, and I don't think we need more of that in society. Let art heal, not divide. Also the idea that the world is too conservative and leftists voices are needed to balance out is little hippie era fantasy. The idea that the left is unincorporated in big biz and corruption is just naive. A plurality of voices is needed for sure, but you won't find that in politics, or politically formed college art students. I think artists and the youth are as blind as the big government they bow to.

Art = Comunism

no i haven't finished the project yet and it's due tomorrow

Can someone make a presentation about this video? Please

Watching this for myself, no college. Just realizing now I've been in my career but have never taken an art class after 4th grade. Might be a good video for some direction for artistic expression for myself vs technical execution for work.

SHHHHEESSSHHH THAT'S KRAZY

NAF represent!!!

this talk is so incredibly bad in so many ways

hey... here’s a tip, if you’re watching this for school and you have to write down ideas, just do this: you see the three dots in the corner, click on then and open transcription, yw :b

does everybody really think that it's only the social and political art that has value and art for art's sake is insufficient, as she says?
have you ever read books just for pleasure of traveling to other worlds, or looked at the painting just because it provoked some feelings in you? just because art is the power to transmit emotions and ideas which can't be expressed any other way right to your heart?
of not, you should definitely try.
