I don't want life to imitate art. I want life to be art.
MazDan said:I understand what your saying about a painting you are painting having meaning in it for you........yes totally but and I mean no offence........its not gunna have that meaning for anyone else unless of course you make them aware of it and then do the jedi mind trick stuff.........lol.
Paintings are cool, seriously and I really did like that one I picked out of the gallery........ I have a really special one here that was done with spray paint while I watched........cost me 20 bucks and was money well spent.
I think the part I dont understand is how you say your emotions are in your painting........I guess our brains just work differently.
If I was a painter and was angry then to display it I would take a can of black paint and chuck it on something.........preferrably the something that made me angry............but of course then i would be happy so I would need a can of yellow paint to make a smiley face........ thats about the extent of it for me.........lol, I dont see emotions in pictures, I just see a picture.

Well, WOOD, try to understand that people are different. I happen to agree with Maz Dan, that a painting does a poor job of making me feel a particular emotion. It's not the same for every person.mazdan you come off as a walking, talking stereotype.
QuestionEverything said:I think people do feel emotion from art, it may not be what I was feeling or put into it, but their interpretation of it. It's kinda like music IMO - those lyrics might mean something to the writer/singer, but then you listen and apply it to your own life, you may relate totally to what is being said and feel emotion, but it could be something completely different than the original emotion/thought behind it. Does that make any sense at all? lol

lacey k said:MazDan, you have a pretty ..uh.....weak arguement. youre basically asking "whats the point" and you can ask that about anything. Whats the point of playin a intstrument? Whats the point of painting your house in a way that is pleasant to you? What is the point of wearing anything but a burlap sack? What is the point of designing cars, if all they need is to go places? Why dont they just put metal box on wheels and call it a car? Why do we design anything? You aint makin a point, you askin a question that could apply to anything, and becuz its so totally general and not a arguement at all, it aint really sayin shit.
Why is it art that you take such a dislike/apathy to? You could EASILY make your arguement about seriously anything. So can you make it more specific related to visual arts/paintings? Or can you just repeat that you dont understand why anyone likes it, its a buncha donkey balls and anyone could take a shit on paper and it would be the same thing.
