I am fifteen years old, and my name is Cary Robbins. I am in 9th grade, and I go to St. George’s Independent School. You can contact me on my email or my phone number is (901) 359-8044. I live in Memphis, Tennessee.

It is known by many that art is created by something and can be interpreted to mean anything that people want it to represent. Everything on this Earth was made by something as it did not just appear, but a greater force created it. This theory means that there must be a God, and God is the masterpiece that created all of the art of the world. “God” can be interpreted to mean anything that people want it to mean, which explains the division of religions, and the many religions that people study. These interpretations of religion are all different, but all based upon god, who created the world that we live in today.

As a child, I only thought of art as paintings and pictures that can be seen in museums, and when my family asked who my favorite artist was I only thought of painters. However, art is in all things because it is something that people are able to let out their emotions and feelings; a way to talk aloud sometimes without opening a mouth. Sometimes, art is an easy thing to look past, but everything, in my opinion, can be interpreted to mean anything a person wants it to mean.

As I interviewed people about what art means to them, they considered it to be a man-made creation, which demonstrates the emotions of the artist. Artists are able to show they think the world should look and how it should be viewed or interpreted. Pieces of art in museums is all different in appearance because there are many different artists with their own emotions. This means that there are different forms of art, and people can interpret the art to mean anything their mind paints it to represent. Paintings that have a concrete image are considered art as well as paintings with different shapes and splashes of color. Everything on Earth could be considered a form of art, but it depends on the interpreter to understand what they think the painting is saying. Songs could be considered art because a person wrote the song to influence the listeners. Books and poetry are forms of art made by people to share their emotions and feelings with the world. People view art as an influence of their feelings, but the people must decide what the message of the art means and what they think the artist is trying to say.

People mostly view art as a creation which has important value to them, and something with which they can relate. However, the power of art depends on the person and how they might view it. As little kids, even the simplest of things are considered to mean so much to us because we are learning about the mysteries of the world. Art is the interpretation of anything, which means that feelings could also be a representation of art. Some people try to find their definition of happiness and love for their whole lives as they are trying to comprehend what the word means to them. Every person has a different interpretation of how they feel because it is their emotions, but art could be the passion of love or enlightenment. Other people may say that art is something that you have to be able to touch or look at, but art is simply a word that could describe a magnitude of things. Art reflects the emotions of the artist, so the emotions are the real creators in all art as it tells the story of the creation. Anything can be interpreted to be art, which makes everything a piece of art.
