Art may be a bit misconceived. Usually when hearing the word people think pictures, colors, designs. Suprisingly it goes beyond there. Ever stopped and thought about the music we listen to, the clothes we wear, the karate classes, the dance classes? Would you ever categorize any of those things as art? Theres so many different categories. Such as Martial Arts, Musical Arts, Theater Arts. Art it isn't just visual, it's a feeling, a movement.


Sometimes when looking at a picture it can cause an emotion, bring back a memory, even a scent. For instance when looking at a picture of a baby bundled up, it may make you reminisce about what babies smell like, maybe a memory of when you were a baby and felt secure, it can remind you of  the sounds babies make. Art cannot be constrained as just visual it is way more than that. Art is a feeling it is a movement, it's something that sparks your mind and takes you further.
Art is a recorder of history like in photographs where you capture the moment, the scenery, and the events of public life. Art happens to be something that appears everywhere around us. In museums, train stations, retail stores, even in our homes on our televisions. It is something that has no right or wrong internalization. People overlook art everyday. From traveling, to studying. Heres a picture on the subway station, that caught my eye. I was sure that anyone traveling to school by train, had to notice this at Court Square.
