What is your favorite form of art?

Question

I mentioned on another post that I’m quite passionate about art and creativity, ranging from the paintings on my wall... to all the genres of film/music that I own to the words of the poetry/lyrics that I’ve written/spit... to the dances I’ve done to certain beats... to the style of car customs/paintjobs that I admire or drive to on my games... to the architecture/blueprints for the home I hope to one day build... to the jingles in advertising... to the designs on surfboards, skateboards, and snowboards. It all just means so much to me.  
 So which below is your fave and why? You can even name a form that may not be listed (like fashion design which I used to be super into). I didn’t want to make a poll because it often takes away from the commentary.  #FeelFreeToList

This is such a wonderful question.

If you forced me to choose just one, I'd pick architecture. The clean lines of the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C., or the gothic perfection of the cathedral of Chartres, France, or Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan... it's breathtaking. I studied architecture in high school and thought about doing that as a career. I still do designs in my spare time. Mostly cliffside homes.

... but...

I also desperately love the theatre. More musical theater than plays but both are amazing. That's what I genuinely wanted to do after school. Life took different turns and I'm where I am now, and happy, but still miss that.

I also love music, particularly orchestral (not just strings) and concerts, etc. Not gonna lie, the opportunity for a tuxedo is irresistible.

Sculpture is awesome too.

Photography is amazing.

In other words, a perfect life would be as the executive director of a performing arts center and spending an hour a day in a museum or art gallery.

Music, then cinema.

That graphic ignores other kinds of art.

In physics, certain equations are so simple, beautiful, and powerful that they are as aspiring any work of art.

The same can be said about sports or performing arts (like ballet or theatre).

Here, in honor of his turning 60 this month, take a look at this famous basket, "A Spectacular Move by Michael Jordan" in Game 2 of the 1991 NBA Finals. I remember seeing it live and my mind was blown. It was so profound that, 32 years later, it is still remembered and discussed.

Very often, sports is art that is inspiring as anything else. This is one reason why men love sports so much - it's the combination of visual performing arts AND great literature written in real-time that everyone experiences at the same time. It can be a communal religious experience - the sort of thing that creates mythologies and mythic figures like Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan.

I'm a musician, so I can get pretty emotional over certain music.

My favorite form of performance art is exemplified by some rock concerts I've been to. There is lighting and certain stage set ups, as well as the ability of some performers to do crazy athletics while playing like virtuosos without missing a beat.

I love certain genres of painting. I can spend hours in an art museum.

I love certain photography. My wife is a photographer and has taught me a lot about the art.

I love architecture from around the world that was created with aesthetics in mind. Beauty is in the details and embellishments. However, I hate modern glass and steel architecture.

I love good literature.

I love film, although the art has suffered greatly over the past few decades.

Writing. I have been doing it since I was a kid and I wanted to be a writer for a long time. I got wrapped up in stories I read or shows I watched and wanted to create something that would have success like Stephen King's Dark Tower series or something to the success of Game of Throne and Harry Potter.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I like paintings, from certain Canadian aboriginal artists, like Norval Morrisseau. I also like soapstone and wood sculptures from aboriginal artists. Similar to this with respect to sculptures.

MidnightOwl57 · Answer

Mine is definitely music. I just think there's something so wonderfully human about it, and it gives me this overwhelming spiritual feeling; it's an insight into the human condition that transcends mere language or anything visual.

Shout-out to video games (Yeah, I think they're art). Walt Disney once said that animation was the greatest art form because it combines all other forms, video games do the same but take the immersion even deeper through interactivity and depth.

loveslongnails · Answer

I can't choose a favorite because too many things "move me". I've seen great paintings, sculptures, dance and heard flawless musicians. I've read books and poetry that shook me. But there's never anything quite as fantastic as nature. The art of the world has never ending beauty in it.

MadAndBankrupt · Answer

I’m into Arabian literature but I suck at making poems.

I’m also into Rap music because even though they are trashy but at least they have deep meanings unlike other music.

I’m talking 2 pac kind of rap not todays rap (rappity rap wrap)

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

Literature, performing, painting, film…

In that order.

What I admire is sculpture.

I always wanted to be sculptured. I just feel like the female body shape is so beautiful, it will get wasted if these shapes don’t get carved and remembered.

When I get old I want to be able to physically touch the younger version of mine, to be able to touch the waist, the curves, close my eyes and vividly imagine I am still young and beautiful.

That would be wonderful to have a sculpture of mine.

Paul09 · Answer

I love film and music that's a given (anime too). I love pencil drawings. Looking at people a creations! I do it myself sometimes, wish I was more motivated to draw more. I do like to create and make things sometimes too. I tried painting once, that was fun. I've tried sculpting, need to do more also. I just love trying new types of art styles. Need more creativity in my life.

Wish4UrB00ty · Answer

I think maybe my favorite form is panting and drawing. And I am more and more impressed with sculpting the older and more in to it I get. I can’t actually do any of it. But I love looking at it so much… I would love to be able to someday.

DarkCarousel · Answer

I can’t choose just one— there’s always something that speaks to me. And I love when you can see that passion and emotion in an artist’s work.
I think photography is my favorite form for me as an “artist” though I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself to be so. More of a hobby.

musicbrain5 · Answer

Music, for sure. Of course, I'm a musician myself - I have been playing flute for over 20 years now, and guitar for nearly as long.

Music is my first love, especially classical/orchestral music, from all eras.

Red-Blaze · Answer

LaFerrari · Answer

Not this art..  but I like to think of car designs and many cars that we see today being living art. Same with LEGOs.

Makeushiver · Answer

I was trying to figure out the artists on your wall and the closest I could come was maybe 1 from Kandinsky. Maybe a little bit of Warhol. Oops, I didn't see the enlarged copy at first. I like the one with a Stratocaster looking guitar. I play a little bit and only by the loosest definition. II am pretty unable to write a short email so I tell people I'm trying ng to separate the form from function of language and do not use it to communicate as much as to aesthetically improve the language w/o worrying about the con6tent of the message. My clients don't unanimously appreciate it

Alchemizt · Answer

Music, literature, painting and architecture. From paintings I'm not much into surrealism or modern arts like the one shown below.

Luffy1990 · Answer

I love 3 types of arts particularly: painting/photography for its natural beauty of what’s captured, film I love movies, anime , and video games, because of the way the story can be told , and music just base on the sound of what’s being played I could get lost in.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I like relaxing cafe type of art, so maybe some overlapping shapes rendered at the edges and coloured reddish brown and yellow.
