We were having a debate about this in our Writing class earlier. Half of the class was split on this. Some say it is an art, some say it isn't. Opinions?

i never really answered the first post here, so...
in general i don't think of sports as being art. i think there are things in sports that can be artistic, but that it really depends on the person and the sport. since basketball is my favorite sport, i have seen moments and plays that i think are "beautiful" and "artfully" done. when the player has complete awareness of his teammates, opponents, the ball and his own body all at once. some of those instances i'd almost call art. but, i wouldn't expect someone else to think of it that way or for it to be called art in general. i think if you're a basketball fan though you could probably agree with me. i think you probably have to be deeply involved in a sport to see the artistic aspects of it. there's a lot of sports that i don't see any artistic qualities too, but i'm sure those who watch/play them could find some. overall though, no. |
