Artocracy defines it as "a complex system of parts seen as a whole, a mode of organization, a system of beliefs or relations, or a certain pattern of activity". Decide for yourself whic defenition these pictures fit best.

What is art?

I found this great presentation that asks the most fundamental question, "What is art?" Is art anything that appeals to our visual senses or is the definition of art more complicated? Check out this slide show to find out the answer!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays! Spread some holiday cheer with these artsy pictures.

In my life so far, I've come across many different kinds of arts. I've seen videos and photographs, drawings, paintings, sculptures, and even computer graphic arts. However, the art of architecture has tended to intrigue me the most. This is partially because most people tend to think that buildings only for the function of housing people. But why does a building only have to have "function", which is an important architectural principle but isn't the only thing that matters. A building should be a piece of art, unique in its shape and style.
