'What is an Art?\r'

'In her inventionicle â€Å"A chisel in the Mind of One Contemplating im musical compositionent state”, Terry Tempest Williams effectively defines what an â€Å" guile” is and what is not. It goes beyond its traditional definition as a product of gentleman creativeness in which materials argon outlined and selected to get hold of visu in ally interesting forms. Williams reveals the ongoing struggle within the biodiversity †charitable versus personality †and equates human life to the characters in the wild to score a vivid description of Art. equal a shark suspended in formaldehyde and being viewed as a unique work of art, Williams sees the same scenario for human beings when nature is totally devastated.\r\nWho’s to goddam? The increased level of extinction that is probably to lead to the disappearance of about two-thirds of all kinds of living organisms by the end of the following(a) century is driven by b bely one species: human (Raven 4). humankind is indwelling from nature. His survival depends inextricably on opposite life forms. Life is the leafy vegetable thrust that connects man to animals. Williams recognizes this connection through an chance upon with a shark in a tank, â€Å"I press my hands on the glass, waiting for the shark to pass by again, and when it does I feel my own feeling beating against the mind of this creature that kills. However, this draw together is un fastened teeny by little by man’s activities that are detrimental to the nature. Civilization overwhelms man that he neglects the reality that his existence rests on the subsistence of the vivid world. Rather than protecting his source of life, he becomes the author of its destruction. Logging and mining, whether legal or illegal, are two of the most common damaging human activities. For pharmaceutical companies, â€Å" wilderness is a cabinet of pharmaceuticals waiting to be discovered. ”\r\nTaking her own experie nce where an exposed space once used by children to lie on their backs was instantaneously reborn to a food court, Williams realized how fast people can transform something into an early(a)(prenominal) thing. Quoting her observation, â€Å"What was never before seen as art, as dance, as a painting in motion, but imagined only through the calculations of biologists, their facts now metamorphosed into designs…. ” Just imagine how man has gotten so much from the nature and exploited a very huge part of it. As Williams noted, â€Å"The natural world is becoming invisible, coming into court only as a backdrop for our own human dramas and catastrophes. Landslides, flashfloods, earthquakes, and tornadoes are signs that nature is too much burdened of man’s destructive activities. Wilderness is a work of art. People shape this natural wasteland just like how an artist makes a Mosaic. The development of agricultural lands into subdivisions, the hot of forests to pro duce industrial materials, and even the ever-changing color of water in the rivers from aristocratical to black, reflect how an artist designs and colors his work. â€Å"What is consecutive for wilderness remains true for humans. Human society is the mosaic of field and forest, of metropolis blocks, of sub representation tiles.\r\nIt is to this mosaic that we should turn in order to understand what it really convey to be human” (Amato-Grill 5). Like humans, other forms of life need a home ground where they can build their own community. â€Å"We are animals, in search of a home, in relationship to Other, an expanding community with a mosaic of habitats, domestic and wild,” Williams explained. In the same way that we have seen surgical procedures on stage, we have make up our eyes on how the leaves of the trees dance in the wind, how animals hide and catch their prey, how whales and fishes create waves in the oceans, and how flowers patiently wait for its bud to b loom.\r\nWilderness, concord to Williams, is a grand piece of performance art that can embody or inspire. To preserve them is to let the next coevals witness the grand performance arts of nature. The nature is a work of art itself creatively designed and created by its Artist. It is a spring of inspiration for the artists who are besides masterpieces of the One who created the nature. Art, as implicitly expound by Williams on her article, is the exploration stock-still preservation of these natural creations.\r\n'
