Debate / Re: What is Art?

« on: February 01, 2015, 17:58 »

Art is whatever you want it to be.

Totally incorrect. Art cannot, and never will be, whatever people say they want it to be. Art must derive from a source of inspiration, in which fuels creation or the making of a art, in order to be art. The work must be thoughtful, and it must be equal balanced with great conceptual headspace and the seven elements of art itself (line, color, texture, form, value, shape, space).

For what reason was the Sistine chapel commissioned?

Why did Salvador Dali paint the surreal works that he did?

What was the true meaning behind Picasso's exploration behind the human body, and why was he trying to achieve that?

What must we consider the purpose of the DADA movement?



Art must evoke emotion, and if it does not have that 'affeckt' on someone it does not mean the work is not art. Hypothetically speaking, it may just mean that the work is bad art, opposed to good art.

Hello everyone,

My name is Travis, I was once a member on this website about 12 years ago. I remember Joeno, Mike, 16Bit, Dragonpika, Rachel, Brin, and many other members that were (or maybe still are!) apart of this community. I am returning to revive my love for manga and Pokemon sprites.

When I joined this forum, I was 10. I am now 22, almost 23. No one knows that I am an anime nerd or a Naruto fan (somewhat considered as a "closet nerd"). I am getting butterflies in my stomach as I begin to remember the internet girlfriends I once had, and all the angry posts I would type with my prepubescent thoughts (sorry for that word, I haven't re-read the rules yet!).

Basically, I am thrilled to be back onto this forum. I don't play Pokemon anymore, but I enjoy the community that has sustained itself for over 12 years.

Thanks for keeping this alive, internets.

-Travis
