Strange Ways to Express an Idea

Angela Singer is an animal rights activist and artist. Though she strongly agrees that animals have rights, her way of displaying is almost hypocritical and, in my opinion, a bit morbid. She takes the remains of abused and dead animals to create her art. She makes the corpses look as if they're torn apart and bleeding. Though this is a poor description of her art, but to put of a photo would require this post to have a warning before it can be viewed.
Though this seems extremely hypocritical way for Ms. Singer to display her view on animal abuse, she believes her morbid art basically terrifies those who abuse animal rights. It shows how these animals are treated and how disgusting it is. If I were a person who disrespects animal rights, then Singer's art would put me straight!

What is art?

Art is a way to express yourself. It can be in many different ways. You can express yourself through music or painting or even by designing fashion. It is hard to come up with a definite definition since it can be a touchy subject. Art is billions of things all at once, art connot really be defined as one thing. It is something different to everyone really. To me it is a way to express yourself with something you love to do. That means art can be drawing, painting, sculpture, architecture, printmaking, electronic media, ceramics, visual design, graphic design, etc. some of the matter they work with to make art are objects, people, other living things, places and spaces, events and issues and themes. In my opinion every form of art is beautiful. I know there are a lot of hurtful people that say otherwise in a mostly rude manner. It means everything to an artist if their art is liked by others. If and artists art is there world then of course they would be ecstatic for others to love it and want more of that art created. Yet, it being there whole world also makes dealing with those harsh critics harder to do. I think everyone knows how it feels to have someone special in there lives, well how would you feel if someone started judging them harshly and saying they were not pretty or not good thats about how the artist all about their art would feel.
