Ariel Isaacs #1: Hopi Rug


To make art, there is a level of skill involved. There needs to be both vision and progression, but there also needs to be work. I chose this rug as an example of something that is art because, although it is very traditional and in few ways revolutionary, there is an aesthetic beauty in its creation. Whoever made it worked very hard on it, and had a concrete vision of what they were trying to accomplish. Not all art needs to be revolutionary, there is something to be said for tradition.
