Take a New Look at Your Figurine
Why art you may ask? Because, in fact, that is what it is. But in order to see your figurine as art you must first understand what art is. If you were to look up the word "art" in a dictionary you would find various definitions. One of the definitions that I found in The Merriam Webster Dictionary was, "the use of skill and imagination in the production of things of beauty; also works so produced".
From the above definition you should have no problem in acknowledging that your figurine is art! But to further clarify, permit me to give you my interpretation of the word.
Simply stated, "art is anything of beauty that is produced that bear resemblance to or has imitation of its model". It is important to realize that art (that which is produced) may have an exact resemblance to or an imagined resemblance to its model. Equally important to keep in mind is that beauty is in the eye of the interpreter.
Can you think of a more perfect definition of a figurine than the one just given for art? A figurine is a thing of beauty (in someone's eye). A figurine has resemblance (in someone's mind). And a figurine has imitation (it mimics its model). Beauty + resemblance + imitation = art (or figurine).
When I view a figurine as art, I see the figurine in a whole new perspective. It gives me the ability to see the figurine beyond the object that it is and to see it in the essence of that which it represents to me.
If you have never viewed your figurine as art I strongly encourage you to do so. In a sense, it gives you an opportunity to become the artist of the art. It allows you to use your imagination to produce the beauty in the art as you see it. It grants you the opportunity to determine the resemblance of the model from your perspective. But more than that, it will permit you to connect with your emotions and experience the imitation of the art as it relates to you.
So, if you have not done so, go ahead. Give your figurine a new look. The look of art!
