Something I Hear A Lot When People Are Looking At Like Abstract Contemporary Art Or Something Is They’ll

Something I hear a lot when people are looking at like abstract contemporary art or something is they’ll go “pssh I could do that” as a way to invalidate the artist because something “easy” should never be in a museum or even be called art at all right?

Wrong!!

Yes you absolutely could do that and you should! Art doesn’t need to be hard or even look good it’s just another way of expressing an idea. Like you can literally take a pencil and scribble rough jagged lines all over a page just because you’re mad. That’s still art!

Just because something is in a museum doesn’t inherently make it better than something the average person could do. Like the art industry has been commodified so hard that yall don’t see that you can just pick up and pencil and make marks and that’s art and it’s fun!! Let art be fun!!

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Support real artists ☀️

Turning Reblogs Off On Certain Posts Should Be A Punishable Crime

If there is a story you wanna tell, but you don't think you will ever have the time or resources to organize and tell it ""properly"" as like...a novel or a comic or whatever, it can absolutely just be...a bunch of brain storm-y blog posts and sketches that you share and compile over time on your blog. That is still a story. It is still a format. In theory, it might not be the "best, most effective" format...but in practise, the best, most effective format is the one that is accessible enough to let you get your ideas and narratives out at all♡

And, yanno--it is just nice to be able to give folks some context for your characters n stuff :3c

can we as a society make puppetry cool again. like lets make it trendy. Mainstream. more people should get into doing it and more people should appreciate it. puppetry requires craftsmanship and charisma and physical acting and vocal performance!! you can’t get that from ai. it has a charm to it that neither 2D nor cg animation has. Have you ever watched a puppetry performance and realized you were genuinely convinced that the puppet was getting into bed or eating something or giving a hug that you wholly forgot there was some guy’s arm in there.

isn’t it lovely. to make a funny little guy to tell stories with. is that not so human of us. it’s such a lovely art form. I love you puppets I love you muppets I love you marionettes I love you handmade sock puppets I love you paper bags with googley eyes I love you armatures I love you I love you I love you!!!!!
