In what way can you participate in the art world? Discuss the role of young people in supporting Philippine art.
Art is not only about the artist but also the viewer. The interpretation of art is an important factor in it. The importance of the viewers in art is to give criticism and interpretation of the artwork. If the artist creates an artwork trying to convey a message and there is no viewer, who will be the one receiving the message? The viewer helps in understanding and receiving the message the artwork is trying to convey.
“Jose Rizal once said, ‘The youth is the hope of our future.’ I believe that this quote also applies to art.” The youth helps give a new and fresh perspective on art different from professional art critics. Their opinions on art reflect the generation and time they grow up with. Other than this, the youth helps in the use of different and more recent technologies and mediums. They help in breaking norms set by old hierarchies and also help in the development and progress of art. Without the youth bringing new changes and inventing new ways to create art, art would be boring and stale. The youth is essential to creating recent and new trends in art that help develop it.
To conclude, art is not only about the artwork created by the artist but the message interpreted by the people too. The different perspectives and opinions of the artwork play a big role in art. The youth helps in giving different views on art because they lived in a different generation. If the artist lives from a different generation from the youth, then their perspectives and beliefs would have a difference. The youth also helps in contemporary art because of the new technologies that were developed as they grow up like digital art, animation, and more. They help in the development of new and recent art that reinvents itself.
