RE: Things I Used To Do: Drawing
I used to draw too! Well, more like make abstract doodles. I was never very good at people or animals but, I could do interesting stuff with scenes and things. :D At least, I thought it was interesting. HAHA!
Abstract doodles is fine as well! Personally, my appreciation for fine art came a bit late. I was always so rigid about how art looks when I was younger. When I grew older though, my preference became more fluid. It was Georges Seurat who expanded my mind with that.
Post some of your work, let's have an abstract art-off! I'm sure many people would get in on that :D Thanks for stopping by, buddy!
I think I've got some things for that! lol. I don't know much about art or artists. I'll have to look him up.
Woohoo! Looking forward to seeing your abstract art! Do look him up, I'm sure you'll appreciate his art :D
Oh wow, I just looked him up. I've actually seen his work in the National Gallery in London. It's been a few years now. I really enjoyed it.
Woohoo! That's awesome! Personally, I think he gets too little recognition.
I don't know enough about him or art to comment. So I totally take your word for it. I've had the privilege of visiting a handful of museums around the world and while I can recall the trips and some of the things that I saw, I can't recall the names of most of the artists. So, I guess, the big hope is that posterity remembers the names of our stories, 'cause if the future people are like me, the names are... uh... what was I saying? ;)
Art is one of those things that I feel doesn't need to be studied (sorry art majors) Sure, there are pointers and rules, but I think expression and emotion holds more value for it. I once took an art appreciation elective, and while I appreciated it (and got a 4.0) on it, I feel like it would've been better served for something else.
Art education is not for everybody. It wasn't for me, but I do like the idea that there are people out there that know things about art. I'm not one of them and yet I like knowing they're out there. Kind of like firefighters, I'm not one, yet I like knowing they're out there, too.
Check it out, did you learn about Georges Seurat during that class?
