what is art?
| | LinkBack | Thread Tools | Display Modes |
Art is an expression. And, of course, photoshop and cinema 4d have the ability to create art. Shit, PAINT has the ability to create art. The thing is, most people today dont make art using photoshop, they make a blob of colors and slap there name on it.

I'm not saying that not all abstracts are bad, in fact, i like alot of them, and wish i could make them. But i find that alot of them have no meaning, and i dont think that is what art is.

i think photography is definately an art form. Becuase specifically, the photographer is trying to capture the view of something in a new way, as to draw attention to given parts or whatever. And plus, they are capturing that image with the help of the camera, its not as if the camera would do it on its own

art... art... first thing when I hear the word "art" of course, is well, art, like drawings, etc... but in reality, art is all around us... music, poem, literature, graphics, photography, etc etc,
In my opinion, good art is something that gives a person an emotional stir, or something to think about, something that they can compare to... or inspiration.

some of the people making trendwhore sigs are trying to learn photoshop so they can make art, you cant start from nowhere...its difficult to make an image really powerful if you cant even use the tool right.
art is anything that someone makes and expresses themself in some way with. part of the beauty of art it that when you don't explain it, people can think anything about it. art is best left unexplained. dont tell people what its about, thats limiting the work too much, it should be open for interpretation. asking if art is beautiful is like asking people if Britney Spears or Paris Hylton is beautiful...arguments on both sides...
*edit*
i see no art in most of the movies put out in malls and movietheaters. people whore out the big bucks to put someones books on screen most of the time. Holes was a cool book when i read it way back, but putting it in a movie is just one persons skewed (by the acting and other uncontrollable stuff) reality of the book.

My point is, alot of the people today using photoshop are not making art. They are making the same exact thing over and over with minor adjustments like color. When are the shiney blobs of shit going to stop being made?

never, people like being trendy. i started with PS because i saw other people's sigs and wanted to make them. its fun. i dont necessarily do this to make art, but to have fun. its hard to live your whole life and think an original thought anyway. but i myself am trying to move away from the trendwhore sigs, not very suggessfully. hell i think ill start doing some photomanip. photomanip can be art made with PS. pushing the buttons can come up with some original stuff, but the tutorials make it easy to push them the way hundreds of other people have pushed them.

Exactly. PhotoManips take thought. I and i'm glad you want to move towards that.
But my point is, do you consitter all those sigs made with filters art? Cuz i certainly dont. We have some very talented artists here, who are making origional stuff.
The other i wanted to point out, about the making sigs becuase its fun thing. Once you realize and actually create your own piece of true art with emotion, and look back at these sigs, you'll realize its just child play.

no using radial blur, find edges, and twirl in different ways is not art, they can be used to make art tho. you need more than that. you need skill and a goal other than "lets crank another cool one out and hope it impresses someone"

like what mood? the same mood that everyone else creates when using them? i tend to disagree. unless your work is really different from what others have done and you just use trendwhore to somehow enhance it, i just dont see it. the best people on DA are the ones that enhance drawings and paintings with PS.
