Blog #6: Art Excluding the West

                       The 6th group discussed the Arts beyond the West, and obviously these are arts excluding the western part of the Earth. Its styles are: Naturalism, Expressionism, and Figurative. But most of their art focused on their religion wherein they used Expressionism and Figurative style. 

                       Arts beyond the West are very impressive and made in detail. It may look simple but if you would look on it closer you would see the details and know how hard it could have been made. We should also be influenced by that, being diligent in creating a worthwhile artwork.

                       But since this art also covers Asian art, I would like to focus on it. China in particular, who influenced almost all of us and not just in ancient times but up until now! Good thing about Asian art is that their art is not just for the art itself or the typical only-for-display art  but also useful in our everyday lives.

                       Personally, I want to create the same art, that I can always use everyday, so that I can always see my creation as well! And that's something to be proud of. I really think that's the characteristic that we should inherit from them, to create a masterpiece that would be useful in our lives!
