Art is entirely subjective. The
value of a piece of art, to any individual, is derived through a combination of
subjective meaning and the talent of the creator. Of course, what constitutes
‘talent’ is, also, entirely subjective. When I use the word ‘art’, I’m talking
about any creative output, from a literal piece of art, to a screenplay, to everything in between. The example I’m going to use to demonstrate my argument
is from a television show. And yes, I do mean Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But, before you groan loudly, roll your
eyes, and close this tab, just, calm your farm, and hear me out, because, I’m
not really talking a TV show here. I’m using an aspect of it as a metaphor to
tell a bigger story about the importance of subjective meaning and why art, the
analysis and interpretation of it, is so important to our personal growth and
perspective on the world. So, ner.
