When My Imagination Dies
"The true art is revolutionary, incendiary...AN EXPLOSION!"
-Deidara, Naruto Shippuden Manga Volume 1, English Version
(insert line)
Art
Ah, art. Deidara's favorite subject. It's Sasori's as well. They both have differing views however. By the log, they were different in their views. To Sasori, art was eternal, so to speak. In his opinion, art was the only things that would last through all time and never decay. To Deidara, art was an explosion. To him, it was meant to be the most beautiful it could ever be within a single moment, but then fade away into nothingness.
However, one Uzumaki Naruto has a completely different view than both of theirs.
"True art is like ramen; nice and tasty!"
Cue sweatdrop. Well, it's suffice to say that Naruto might get an academy award for "Dumbest Interpretation of Art EVER" or something like that. To this author, art...
What is art to me? Well, I'd say it's...it's...well, just look around you. That butterfly floating with stainglass wings. That lush green field way over there. That whooshing rive riiiiight over there. That's all art. Nature. Emotion. Passion. Those are the three elements that make up art.
Everyone and everything has a nature; good, bad, sadistic, evil, kind, helpful; those are all natures, and a part of art.
Emotion. Emotion is what happens when you react to something. You get sad over bad news. You jump for joy at the announcement of a scholarship. You stay neutral when nothing at all is happening. That's emotion.
Finally, passion. Passion is that 'spur of the moment' you get when something you're dedicated to happens. The vigor you receive from a great workout? Passion. The beautiful feeling you get when staring at the full moon's reflection in water? Passion. The way your heart beats faster and you feel happier when someone you're in love with is near? Passion; complete freaking passion.
The three of those together, in perfect harmony, can make up the most beautiful piece of art anyone will ever see.
And that, to me, my friends, is art.
