Visual Arts Lessons at Laity Arts

What is art? This question was asked of people from within the arts world, as well as the wider community, to define art in one sentence. Some came up with a quick quip, others relied on extensive punctuation to offer a more descriptive response. No two definitions were the same.

  • Stephen Page, Artistic Director, Bangarra Dance Theatre
    -The spirit of the dreaming.

  • Bronwyn Johnson, Director Melbourne Art Fair
    - Art is an expression of our culture and the time in which we live - and `great' art has the potential to transcend cultural boundaries.

  • Bernard Smith, Art Historian
    - Art is anything that requires a maker; it cannot make itself - this is Aristotle's definition in The Nicomachian Ethics, and I think it to be the best.

  • Gabrielle Pizzi, Gallery Director
    - Art may be a painting, sculpture, photograph, symphony, dance or any other creative endeavor that incorporates intellectual rigor, structural excellence, a strong element of beauty and a core of spirituality as well as the capacity to transport the audience to a higher level of being.

  • Geoffrey Ricardo, Printmaker
    - Having an itch you can't scratch.

  • Laura Murray Cree, Editor
    - Art in its broadest sense - is the compulsion to give creative expression and definition to life (and itself), and to go beyond definition - inscribed by culture and aesthetics; aching for response; illusory and defiant of illusion; liberated by intellect, wit and chance; refined by love.

  • Claire Petterson, Obstetrician and Gynaecologist
    - Art has the facility to actually enrich and empower your life and make you happy.

  • Rick Amor, Painter
    - Art consciously transforms reality and creates a philosophical and emotional exchange between the artist and the viewer.

  • Kim Durban, Director of Drama, National Theatre Drama School
    - Art is the tangible result of our human drive to express inner experience using rhythmic, sensuous or composed effects.

  • Carrillo Gantner, President of the Victorian Arts Centre
    - Life experience distilled through creative expression.

  • Ron Robertson-Swann, Sculptor
    - The whole endeavor of art is about the (aesthetically) beautiful.

  • Kate Cherry, Associate Director, Melbourne Theatre Company
    - Art is indefinable.

  • Peter Lancaster, Fine Art Printer
    - Looking for something you can't find.

  • Robin Benjamin, Kindergarten Teacher
    - A creative expression of oneself done in one's choice of medium.

  • Gerard Vaughan, Director National Gallery of Victoria
    - Art can take many forms - visual, musical, performing but for me a work of art is something created by the human mind that has the capacity to move me - it has a real aesthetic, emotional and spiritual element.
