Art photography

Application:
What art means to me;
I think that art is quite important in this day and age because its part of peoples lives and daily conversation, and some people are so passionate about art.
Also, a piece of art is a picture that had been painted or sculptured into something and allot of people look at it as a memory that has been captured and the idea of art is for the moment in the photograph not to be forgotten.
Normally i would think that art is just a picture of an everyday object but when we went on our trip to Brighton to the art gallery's i saw allot of weird things that i would never call "art" but i have realised that anything can be art.
During the trip I noticed certain things about the photos in the gallery, for example, where the pictures were in the gallery, the room they were in all had a meaning. Pictures that were of boats were in a sort of submarine shaped room and gave you the feeling that you were really there and made you think and look more into the picture. Also there was a room styled in the way of a sitting room with pictures showing on a screen, it actually felt like you were in someones front room, it was a bazaar but good and interesting experience for the fact each room was themed to math the photographs.

Context:
Art isn't always in a frame like i thought it was, as i saw on our trip, most of the art was pinned to a board with nothing else to it. I liked this in a way because it wasn't like I've seen art before, the way it was pinned there made it more interesting to look at because you don't normally see that.

Techniques:
Most of the photography didn't look like it had been put onto any sort of canvas or anything it was on like a giant piece of shiny card stuff, which i also wasn't expecting but as i said this made it more interesting to look at and it looking plain made it better for me to look at.
