Abstract art is art which doesn't quite look real. For example, the camera on this page is abstracted, in a sense, because it's been broken down into simple parts and doesn't look really real. Lots of times people wonder why artists make abstract art. There's lots of different reasons. Sometimes artists are trying to show something you can't actually see, like ideas or a spirit. Other times, the artist wants to express emotions. Think of how hard it is sometimes to talk when you're mad. If you could draw instead of explaining your feelings, what would "mad" look like? And sometimes abstract art just makes you, the viewer, look at something in a different way. | ||
