Mona Lisa's Smile
Various Artists Lyrics


Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile
Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art.

Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art.
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa.

@JMac7395

This is a good conversation to have. Who are the people that say art is art? Do they really understand what the artist was trying to convey?

@heleen-marieviljoen2189

I remember my art teacher told us her definition of art... "doesn't matter if its good, beautiful, or horrible... if it catches your attention and you start to question the idea... it can be considered art!"

@JMac7395

@@heleen-marieviljoen2189 That's the best answer I've heard in a long time

@heleen-marieviljoen2189

@Philip Gomez
You make a good point
Her explination was that in todays era, art is literally everywhere (even a skyscraper can be considered art because of the architecture and detial that went into that building) its how creativity and skills are used together to make the "artwork". She also told us that sometimes artists can be truly mysterious (that artists are inspired and want to share it in their artwork, but sometimes they still want the viewer to guess what it really means) that none of us can truly understand what the artist of the time really thought or felt... thats why she concluded that if it catches your attention and you question the idea behind it, want to find out more about the meaning/ idea it can be considered art

@@heleen-marieviljoen2189 this is some subversive garbage you talking about. Art is not meant to ugly, horrid or demoralizing. Its supposed to quite the opposite. WAKE UP, these modern artists are the enemies of the rational and sane people. The ugly art is purposely designed to destroy people's sense of interpreting normal beauty in the world.

I understand the point you make
However, language, music, sport, Everything will continue to evolve perhaps change and grow, thus art in itself will also.
The point my teacher had tried to make that day, was that because art had grow and change so much and with art standards being at a minimum, is that everything can be considered artistic once you question the idea.

I just wanted to share an experience i had im my clasroom at the time.
I did not mean to offend anybody

I enjoyed this film. Many of the class discussions in it, I can recall from my own art school experience.

@drewhendley

There cannot be standards and rules and regulations in art.. it Has to be free to allow us to grow to inspire ...otherwise it becomes mundane boring and ordinary

@attuneflows3539

i don't follow nor learn a slightest in art/ paintings field, but i do think that drawing/ painting, even my hobby as writing, has one requirement to be considered as "art", is to hold my attention, or anyone's attention.

@agenttheater5

Would have been interesting if she'd brought in Bernini's sculpture of Pluto and Proserpina and the two famous paintings of Saturn devouring his children. They were all at least 100 years old by then, ask them to compare the grotesqueness between those three works of art and this one
