How will today's teenagers shape our future? An insight to this was shared on Feb 25th 2017 by Al Yasmina Academy students from Abu Dhabi, who hosted an exclusive TEDx event titled: There is more to us than meets the eye. They took to the stage to enlighten an audience of special guests and media members.
Tackling a variety of timely, thought provoking topics, the talks explored subjects including the impact of the media on human compassion, how we can tackle personal confusion, and why music is a language. Other topics, such as the importance of artistic creation in modern culture and how to sell ourselves to succeed in life, were also explored.
In this talk, Carol Mokatash discusses abstract art, what it means to experience a painting and why an open mind is key.
Carol Mokatash is an Aldar Academies Al Yasmina Academy student in Abu Dhabi. She aspires to become an architect.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

blue poles is a Pollock, an actoin painter and Rothco was a colorfield painter.

To state that medieval is "Very boring" is really to make the statement: "I am really boring. "

She didn’t explain what changed her mind about abstract art?

@nachiketpatil9338 3 года назад

She did by saying its an experience that you get when you are infant of it. It's hard to get the same feeling on computer. I was oblivious too abstract art until I bought one at home and saw how it changed the ambience and dimension of the room.

Edvard Munch painted "The Scream" in 1893 and not 1983 (1:26). Good presentation though.

@davidfalvey7917 5 лет назад

Blue Poles is undeniably a Jackson Pollock painting, not Mark Rothko. Oopse

@celestialteapot309 4 года назад

This argument is based on the false premise that art now appreciated was once derided, therefore all art now derided will in time be appreciated. Conclusion, abstract art is for dummies.

I'm trying to find out what the difference is between abstract art and a person just throwing paints together .

@michaelricketson1365 2 года назад

Take a look at paintings by Elke Trittel, Dan Tirels and Gary Komarin. You will probably see something that you appreciate.

@bachdeanOnline 4 года назад

Trying to explain an abstract paintings is delusional. It is when the art loses the sanity, many ppl jump on the bandwagon of abstract "art" occult.

@stephengreico2810 3 года назад

I agree to some extent I paint it almost everyday but never do I want the “liberal artist” perspective on what they “know” it to be. Perhaps it’s just undefinable and something innate the artists appreciates in it. And hopefully whatever that is resonates to another person

@emersyn444 2 года назад

I’m a bit late, but if you’re still looking to be convinced there is a book by famous art critic, Susie Hodge, called “Why your five year old could not have done that”. It gives exact examples and context to various works of art. Even though it sometimes falls flat in my opinion, it’s still a good book

Yes. Seems she was a high school student. "Carol Mokatash is an Aldar Academies Al Yasmina Academy student in Abu Dhabi. She aspires to become an architect." "Al Yasmina Academy is (a) ... school ... from the age of 3 (to) 18." So, was this an assignment for a class? She got the date wrong on The Scream, and called a Pollock a Rothko. I don't see how she addressed the title of the talk. She was fairly well-spoken if not a bit condescending. Odd that TED is posting something like this...

Some of the people commenting here don't seem to realize that the speaker is a student - from "Aldar Academies Al Yasmina Academy ... in Abu Dhabi" - in other words, she is not a professor, a public intellectual, a professional art critic, or even a kindergarten teacher. Give her a damn break - if she's not up to your standards, move along. You pay your money, you take your chances - wait - this was free and you didn't even have to get up off the couch ....

Did you see some of the artwork? "I probably can paint that" category? That's an understatement. Boy, people do more advance art with makeup!

@gnemick 4 года назад

Dismissing all art before the 1800s as boring is such a ridiculously absurd statement, have you done any research?! And then you compare your favorite paintings to one of the most yawned-over (yet most popular of all time amongst public) paintings. One of your complaints was the size difference. . . have you not seen the murals in the Vatican, Velazquez, literally anything else besides the Moaning Lisa?!?! Your argument boils down to: "This stuff I like is so cool, look how cool it is. Your stuff, like, like, it's boring and it's not cool, OK? How did you make it to the TED stage anywhere???

@chaddsteinberg3758 3 года назад

Don’t sum up modern abstract art if you can’t comprehend it, do by all means sum up great masterpieces that everyone can clearly gauge and rate on its artistic intentions as “boring”. A word comes to mind “exclusion” and your not welcome or equipped to judge “modern art”. The real true greatness that’s achieved is the art of the marketing masterminds who know how to artificially create demand both in the studio and in the market.

Great video ,now i understand abstract painting ,the artist who paint abstract is painting with his soul that is why i dont get it ,i am simply not interested how the artist is feeling ,i just get the vibes from the image it self the story landscape or face expressions in a panting ,not interested in divorce or a tooth pain that artist have when is painting or type of music that is listening ,when i buy a painting or i make one i will enjoy it in my way on my music ,and of course an rock singer will compare and or admire other rock singer ,please dont do this mistake again comparing abstract painting with monalisa is just...idk usless its like comparing stake with apple pie yes you can eat them both but...i am so relaxed now i tought you needed special powers that i dont poses to understand an abstract painting to understand an abstract painting you must know the artist and what is feeling or at least to be in a similar state of mind to get it or of course to be an other abstract painter i like simple stuff that even an 2 year old get it LOOK IS A BEATIFUL LADY .bye and tnx again.
