Art
Топик Искусство сравнивает две ветви человеческой деятельности: искусство и науку. Наука – это система познания человеком природы и самого себя и для этого используют эксперименты, наблюдения, анализ и теоретические описания. Термин “искусство” может употребляться в разных смыслах: процесс использования таланта, произведение одаренного мастера или восхищение произведениями искусства аудитории. Искусство стимулирует мысли, чувства, представления и идеи через ощущения. Искусство – это умение, которое способно вызвать восхищение.
One can distinguish two branches of human work: the arts and the sciences. The sciences require knowledge, observation, identification, description, experimentation and theoretical explanation.
The arts on the contrary require skill. That means the ability to work well with a part of his or her body. It is the combination of talent and technique. An artist is a man who can do something well with his own hands and tools. Some time ago everything that was made with tools was “artificial”, not natural. The word “manufacture”, for example, once meant “to make by hand”
Everything is a bit different nowadays. The word “art” has a special meaning. It means something beautiful. The paintings of skilled painters are appreciated and admired by millions of people today, by those who can see the beauty. Art comprises weaving rugs, tapestries, ceramic work. So there are a lot of types of art. Nevertheless one can trace basic principles in art. All kinds of it require the same characteristics. The separate parts of a work of art should be arranged in pattern. The form itself, a pleasing shape and balance are extremely important.
Art inspires the human spirit. Painters, sculptors, musicians, writers, weavers – they all contribute to a better life for us.
