Malaysian Art. Si? No?

First of all, I would like to apologize to Miss E for taking forever to answer this. :( 

On with the blogggggg...


What is Malaysian artwork?

Well, let me break it down. A Malaysian is an individual born in Malaysia and bears the identity as a Malaysian while an artwork is a painting, sculpture, basically anything that is created to be beautiful or to express and important idea or feeling. Hence, a Malaysian artwork is a masterpiece or work of art (get it? Artwork? Work of art? Yes? No? Okay.) created by a born bred Malaysian individual. 

What significant event do you think should a Malaysian artist feature?

There are plenty to choose from if you ask me! I would say any events that will certainly go down in history. For instance, the Bersih rally, the Lowyat Plaza incident, the overwhelming support by Malaysians for our gymnast Farah Ann, our current economic downfall, anything that would be burned into our memories as a lesson or motivation. Events like these ought to be treasured for not only ourselves, but for many generations to come. It is to remember the significance or purpose of these events taking place. I'm saying this because history as we know it, is being altered again and again and again in school textbooks. The baddie is shown as the innocent, nice guy where as the good guy is shown as the country's enemy. As Dr Carmen mentioned in her lecture earlier in the semester, 'it is easy to forget your history, when you don't know them'. 

Is it the responsibility of a Malaysian artist to create a Malaysian artwork? 

Of course it is! Who better to create art than those who have lived and breathed in this land?! :D 

That is all. 
Sekian, Thank you >.<
