Conceptual Art? Perceptual Art?



Conceptual Art??


Art that is intended to convey an idea or concept to the audience and need not involve the creation or appreciation of a traditional art object such as a painting or sculpture. There are few artistic movements which are surrounded by so much debate and controversy as conceptual art. Conceptual art has a tendency to provoke intense and perhaps even extreme reactions in its audiences. After all, whilst some people find conceptual art very refreshing and the only kind of art that is relevant to today's world, many others consider it shocking, distasteful, skill-less, or and most importantly, not art at all. Conceptual art is something that we either love or hate.






Perceptual Art??

Perceptual art is a form of art that can trace its roots to the art history concepts of perceptualism as well as to twentieth century inventions of conceptual art and performance art. In practice, perceptual art may be interpreted as the engagement of multi-sensory experiential stimuli combined with the multiplicity of interpretive meanings on the part of an observer. Sometimes, the role of observer is obscured as members of the public may unknowingly be participants in the creation of the artwork itself. It is very often what is generally called "performance art."
