Final Artist Statement

Art is such a brilliant and powerful way to express one’s ideas and feelings, or at least I believe that. That was exactly the first sentence of my original artist statement. I, therefore, realized how accurate I was about it, at the end of my New Media Arts class. It proved once more that it makes you feel so great when you can just put something solid only from your own, and this is Art. There is no limitation or censorship in art. You have the utmost freedom as possible on earth; there is nothing that provides as much freedom as Art provides. Freud states art as a way to counter the experience of suffering, and I agree. I want my life to be intoxicated by the means of Art. There is no suffering when you do art; it is like you do not live in this pathetic world anymore but live in somewhere else where there is no suffering at all but all happiness.

At the beginning of our art class, I did the assignments because I was simply worried about my grade; however, while time passed, unconsciously I started doing all the assignments and gave my time only for the sake of enjoyment of art. I started enjoying the work we did in the class and outside. I think it is the magic of Art that it is so pleasurable and satisfy the people. It is the freedom and happiness in art that makes people so addicted. Let it intoxicate my body, too!
