How does Adams define art?
Adams views art from different approach: category, history, duration and expressiveness.
*Category
Literary arts: writing and drama
Fine Arts: sculpture, painting, music
Decorative arts: architecture
Industrial design: aesthetic applied to utilitarian objects
*History
Arts should be able represent its era
*Duration
Arts should be 'highly durable' in value
*Expressiveness
Arts should be expressive which contain messages and artists' thought
More or less I agree with Adam just like he came up with that it is never easy to distinguish art from their nature, there is always a 'grey area'. For instance, a sculpture itself can be regarded as fine art, but can it also be decorative art in other point of view? I myself would rather focus on the value of a work rather then their form. I totally agree that a work of art should be expressive, or it will be just a plain work but art.
According to Adam, what is needed for video games to be considered as art?
1. Video games should have content as well as expressiveness.
2. As video games are innovative that make people feel interesting and unprecedented, they are art
3. In case a video game can come across critics about its aesthetics, it can be art
