*3rd oct. exam on definitions...may be moved to the 10th

Today a pretty interesting thought was posed. If art is self-expression then how is it possible for a collaboration to take place? Or rather, can artist collaborate on a piece of
art?

I say yes, though art is self-expression, its not JUST self-expression, it can be an expression of a group who have the same vision or message. Or even just an expression of two views on the same subject, taken in different directions on the same piece. Nowhere does it say art is limited to the self and the self only.

So in following with my chart on eating, this time I’ve decided to explore the P, C, S, &A of dressing ones self.

The Philosophy behind what we decide on wearing that day is really interesting. What color, matches what and what is considered to be in style. Or you can throw what’s “cool” to the masses out the window and wear what you think is interesting and looks good. Often my mood has an effect on what I wear that day, I may wake up and want to be dressy, or more heavy metal. Or just wear a paint-splattered pair of jeans and say its ok because I got to art school. Either way, Philosophy has a major role in the act of getting dressed. Unless you have to wear a uniform. Even then I think people find ways to make it their own, through accessories or something of the like.

Is there art in dress? Yes, I believe so. If I’m to believe art is self-expression then wearing something because you like it is an act of self-expression. And on a more professional level, clothing designers see fabric and the form it takes on the body to be a different medium not too far away from paint. It’s just the application and the dimension in which the designer works that sets it aside.

The Craft in dressing (not to be confused with KRAFT dressing) is simply that one leg goes through the right pant leg and the other through the left, and the same procedure for the shirt. Shoes are tied a number of ways but still tied for the purpose of protecting the feet, and keeping the shoe secured to the foot.

As for Science, I can’t find a very big presence, unless you were experimenting with wearing cloths, or how their colors affect others around you. Otherwise science seems to take a backseat on this act.
