Visual Arts: Solitary or Not Solitary that is the Question!
I believe that my notion of solitary Visual Arts has come from my personal desire to make Visual Arts known as a unique identity and only complementary to the other formal education core subjects. I feel too as a theatrical and movement artist that as we rely almost entirely on our body and are only helped by lighting, scenery, props, and costume that I put visual art in it's own category. I find it easier personally to deal with arts of the body because we can work with the one tool that we've got and in an endless fashion as we search in pursuit of new ways of recreating ourselves. Visual Art is a whole new dimension where you have to be in control of your body that in in control of tools which are in control of media. I find that often theatre doesn't need visual arts because I love minimalist sets where the raw nature of humans existing takes place right in front of the naked eye. I do also love musicals. I also love spectacle such as choreographic works of art created by Edouard Lock who uses scenes and sets and costumes and digital media. I am also a sucker for naturalism and ballets which use impressively painted sets and elaborate lighting schemes. I find that visual art in this sense adds to the fullness of "the production" as it communicates location, money, commercialism, skill, and trickery. Visual Art on its own however to me is an extraordinary entity in that it is so communicative on its own. It says so much when it is on its own where as when it is in theatre it is often made to help establish an illusion. I believe visual arts need more credit than that so I find that I separate them and look at installation pieces and am in awe over their size and skill level or look at paintings and am fatigued by just considering each stroke taken. I find that theatre hushes art in the forms of scene painting and costumes. It is so true though that in many cases the costume, lighting and set design have saved poor human communication on stage. I believe that visual art and music make a captivating duet such as those beautiful stories that are told through watercolor paintings or clay animation and musical scores. I do believe to that if the artist works with the composer or if one artist applies their art to the other it works well. I believe that music has the ability to pull the mood out of visual art and it can also punctuate rhythms without it. So much art though again can live completely alone and in certain cases sounds can often take away from the art piece because it is so strong on its own. I do find it interesting though that the human arts can exist well as human arts and the human arts often wrap themselves in visual arts while musical art attaches itself to moods and the feelings of atmospheres for human performances and visual art pieces and that music and art work so well together and they are arts created from humans controlling objects and movement and drama work together because they are both body exterior and interior formations when communicating. I believe that each art form compliments one another and when teaching about the different arts I think that they should be equally represented and shown together because this way it can help to inform other artists about further possibilities.
I also want to mention performance art. This last semester I used a clown to experience art which I think that in a public setting may be a great way to involve the 'captive' audiences in viewing art work. I think that Performances can be a great guide into the opportunity of viewing of explaining art. Just as there is deconstruction in choreography where the choreographer creates a dance that shows how the choreographer comes together and can be taken apart performance Art can be either be a piece which uses human bodies for the subject matter or can use them as a way to showcase visual art in the form of a composer.
