I hope you become a professor one day and can use your talent at teaching to the greatest degree.
Really, yours is an excellent video.

…lol, she might have been correct. in any case, its more like the ability to express your feeling in a way that can stimulate others.

I had a similar discussion with my very first Art Professor. I told her I felt that Art was as much a feeling as an ability. She responded with. “Well, then, we have a lot of work to do on your ability then, don’t we?”

There are ALWAYS options my friend..
Get up, leave, go somewhere, be something..
Find an interest and be the best at it.

that was a rhetorical question, i wasn’t really asking, im just saying for those who glue themselves to books should follow their instinct first, the first artists had no books.

books AND instincts
one of the easiest questions ever asked

Great video. I really enjoyed this intro!!
August 3rd, 2010 @11:34 am
that is crazy!! art is art, it comes from the heart, dont mean to rhyme : ) but yeah, how do you think the greats did it, with a couple books or by following their instincts?

Art is not elitist…or cant you understand that???? You can buy cheaply priced pop art, prints or photographs..all of which offer great art at affordable prices that everyone in the developed world could afford to buy and enjoy. Art is to be enjoyed its as simple as that.

I remember wanting to be an intellectual like this guy in college. Now I just struggle to even make art. Perhaps if I had just enjoyed the creative process I would not be flipping burgers at a Dairy Queen in Kentucky now.

shut the fuck up

why are your hands flying?

I get the feeling that this guy is stroking his own ego. Everything I dislike about art students and historians. A painful video to watch. I disagree, complete self indulgent rubbish.

However this discourse is arguable as art is in every part of our lives- esp. now in ways that it is used as the ‘new media’ , regardless of its negative or positive implicatioons. It is extremely commercial, and global. At the same time, we regard art as a product of something extremely personal. Here lies the crux of the dilemma.
And I really don’t think the first part was rubbish at all. He was using quite clear, coherent English, from what I heard…

Just as a response to ‘art is not elitist’; conversely, art has often been elitist- as it had been back then, and as it is now. Art, at SEVERAL points of history has been used to demonstrate power, divinity (think Church, Christ Icons) or wealth, elitism, status (think all the amazing LouisXIV paintings and such). Today, most people dont have time for ‘art’- if you follow a Marxist discourse, art is left solely for the IDLE, and then the WEALTHY, i.e. those who have an abundance of time.

right on! great intro to what you want to do! I really want to know more about art! I don’t think you are being snobish either, and I wouldn’t care if you were! I might mention one of my basic motivations for higher learning though… I want to be a character in a Dan Brown novel, so in order to make that happen I feel I really need to learn as much about mathematics, art, psychology, and history! lol.. i know its ridiculous but hey… im a college student!

He has such a sweet sound:)

“It is through art that we exit Plato’s cave.” This was the most profound thing he said.

heres art history for you in its component parts in plain english, “art used to be good now its fuckin balls!” its no longer about the work its about the price now, diamond skulls lol fuckin BALLS
August 31st, 2010 @3:17 am
The first part was absolute rubbish and the use of this kind of language is what’s wrong with art education today. The use of long winded big thought provoking sentences. If you want to get across Art history, break it down into component parts for the general public. The use of new media is there to help us. Why shouldn’t it be in an easily digestible format? Art is not elitist, it’s for everyone it’s fascinating and a historical commentary. Let’s lose the snobbery.
