Let's Talk Art
Art in itself is totally misunderstood. Its one of those things where you look at it, but for some it means nothing. For others it makes us smile, laugh, cry and think. We are amazed at some ancient art and wonder how time consuming and the genius that went behind such incredible works. The fact that pieces are still around that we can even have a look at the past is remarkable.
Recently I watched a program where a neurologist tried to figure out what makes someone create art the way that they do. It got me to thinking, but I just do stuff. I doodle and sometimes I see something in that doodle that later becomes and larger drawing. It then has a different life with broader detail. The doctor was studying more on body proportions and why certain areas are embellished than others. It’s all quite interesting when you think about it, but the bottom line is that we draw and create from what we know. We all see things differently and that’s what makes art so unique. When a group of people from the same community work on similar art they tend to look the same, but painters and sculptures work in different mediums and the results are different even if the painter paints the sculpture.
We all have different thought patterns and sometimes we are conditioned to like certain things, but every once in a while someone breaks that conditioning with no explanation and they create something that no one understands.
For me if it doesn’t raise a question, if it doesn’t make you feel something, if you don’t react then maybe it isn’t art, but then again, to quote myself, “Not everyone gets it.”
