Culture and Art have lots of definitions. From my point of view, culture and art express human being. Human as the only creature in this world creates background about him, which represents his spirit and thinking. Difference between culture and art is that culture is a manifestation of several people or nation and achievement describing their common thinking and work. Art can be an expression of a single person. What do we mean by ‘art’? The sense of the word changes from generation to generation. As a general definition, we will consider art to be the creation of something that is ‘aesthetically pleasing’. However not everybody is talented for creating art. Those lucky ones who are gifted enough can make a living as painters, sculptors, writers, musicians, conductors and actors. The majority of people are those who only consume works of art. Moreover, there is also the third category of those who criticise both creators and consumers of art. There are also two categories of art: pop art and classical art. Pop art is for mass consumption. It produces money and it is further for laymen. On the other side, classical art is valuable mostly for special people who understand it and like it. Andy Warhol may be considered the king of pop art; he was a painter, a writer, a photographer, a scenarist, a manager etc. He said that the art is everything, for which we must pay. Many people considered him to a fool.
Music exists from our youth. The first people imitated music from nature. When people began to talk, it was the first step to singing. They sang at work, when they were sad, happy or at various rituals. Music became the art because it provides people a satisfaction and an enjoyment. Gradually musical instruments began to start up, what made musicians’ work easier. Therefore, we know the musical art wherein human voice isn’t necessary, for example jazz. Nowadays music arts are known, wherein artist use more sounds than singing. It is called ‘techno’ and ‘house’. Music is mixed by computer or special equipments. I am fond of this music and in my opinion, it is the music of new generation. However, we know the music arts, in which human voice is necessary, for example opera. Further, we know rock, country, blues, folk, reggae and classical music. Classical music is one of European treasures. Names like Beethoven, Mozart, Bach or Chopin sounds familiar to every European. Popular music is consumed by masses. The most popular was the British quartet the Beatles. They produced many huge hits and their songs changed the direction of music forever. There are many festivals, music awards or concerts, organized all, it is an opportunity for the fans of specific music arts to meet. In my opinion, music art is an art consumed by the most people all over the world.
