LIFE ITSELF IS ARTS

 




 

What is considered as arts? Music? Painting? Dancing? I strongly believe that art is not just about music, painting and dancing at all! One may think that “How this is possible?”. Actually, it is possible…

In order to figure out what can be considered as arts, first of all we should analyse the meaning of arts. The definition of arts is being questioned for thousands of years, and it is still being questioning. Is arts a picture of the nature? A melody of winds? Or a choreography of the swans just like in the Swan Lake? While making such a hard definition on a subjective topic, we should think out of the picture…

Taking a picture of a food that you love very much is also arts. Going for a run and while running listening to some music is arts as well. Reading a novel, writing an article, composing a melody, cooking a delicious meal…  Even studying passionately or watching your favourite program on the television can be considered as arts. Yes! You have not heard wrong! The answer of these interesting examples are hidden in the definition of “arts”…



Do not you make arts with passionate feelings? While playing the piano, do not you imagine that you are flying around the clouds, singing as a soloist or dancing with a group of people? Why do you make arts? Is not it for relaxing your mind by painting an amazing view or for relaxing your body by swimming in the sea in a rhythmic way?

“Arts” is something done with passion just in order to be relaxed. The key words are “relaxation” and “passion”. If one does any action passionately so as to relax his/her mind or body, then the action is definitely related with “arts”.

Arts cannot be measured or defined with the action’s beauty or aesthetic. The meaning of “beauty” and “aesthetics” both differ from person to person. This topic is about subjectivity. Therefore, “arts” can only be related with passion and/or relaxation.

As we have discussed the meaning of “arts”, we can easily figure out what is considered as arts and what is not. If one tidies his/her room up in a passionate way, then why tidying the room up is not considered as “arts”? If someone does his/her job passionately and relaxed, then he/she is making arts by doing his/her job. When a person is absolutely exhausted, “sleeping” will be done passionately. So, why such an basic and fundamental activity -“sleeping”- cannot be considered as arts for that person?




These examples all have a common point: They are the life itself! If you are living a passionate and relaxed life, then you are making breath-taking artwork each minute! The main point is not creating something beautiful or aesthetic. It is about yourself, the way you are thinking and looking to the world. If your point of view can see the passionate and relaxing things of the things you do during the day, you reach a point where you are always making arts… Unlike most of the people think, arts is not only composed of music, painting and dancing, it is the life itself…

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS AND SOCIETIES: INTERNAL ASSESSMENT (IB)

  HOW DOES THE COUNTRIES’ -TURKEY, THE NETHERLANDS AND THE USA- SOLAR POWER USAGE CORRELATE WITH THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS? PERSONAL ENGAGEMENT Solar energy can be used for solar water heaters and house heating. The heat from solar energy enables the production of food, chemicals, textiles, and it can also be used in warm greenhouses, swimming pools, and livestock buildings. Furthermore, providing a power source for electronic devices and even cooking can be achieved by using solar energy [1] . Turkey is a country which might use the solar power energy efficiently. However, in our country, although the solar energy is used sporadically for hot water in domestic use and in some hotels in southern Turkey, we can state that it is not widely applied as a sustainable and a clean energy source. Unlike Turkey, the Netherlands uses the technological opportunities really well, even though the country does not have an extreme access of sun light [2] . On the contrary, United States ...

ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION AND ENERGY SAVING

   [7] INTRODUCTION: THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT Electricity has a great importance in our World nowadays. Especially, due to the pandemic we all have started using the electrical devices and gadgets much more than before. This increase in electricity consumption has absolutely some effects on the environment. These impacts depend on the usage, how and where we have been generating or delivering. The usage of electricity may seem quite safe. However, the production and transmission of electricity have a huge impact on the environment. Electricity is generated by moving a conductive wire such as copper in a magnetic field. An electric generator is a machine that contains coiled conductive wires rotating inside a magnet and generates electric current by rotating these wires. In order to obtain a large amount of electrical energy which is necessary in our homes, workplaces, industry; large power plants are needed. [8]   Most power plants are gen...

ENGLISH INDIVIDUAL ORAL QUESTIONS (IB)

    What ideas and images do we associate with a healthy lifestyle? In my opinion the main point is balancing our lives. Most of the people think that a healthy lifestyle includes only eating vegetables and fruits, doing tons of cardio and not even tasting the meals that include carbohydrates. This idea is wrong. Because a lifestyle should be able to last forever. We should also include some awards like chocolate or pasta in our diet. What constitutes an identity? The society plays the biggest role while creating our identities. Because our values and culture affect our way of thinking and our lifestyle as well. Our family and our friends may change our point of view. For instance, when we visit our family members who live abroad may develop our personality. While talking with them we might use another language. And the language we use improves our vision. When we start talking another language, we might think in a different way than usual. The vocabulary and the gramm...
