Edit: Oh no no. Hold on. That wasn't the worst. The worst is that those fricken admins perma banned me for talkin' smack to a popular artist on there who didnt even deserve recognition. That wasn't why i got mad though. He was the most stuck up, arrogant, and rude S O B on that whole site. And his 12 million, bajillion followers didnt see it. My comments towards him were anything but rude and were merely opinions. I asked him why he only does pixel art, and he told me he feels like pixel is more creative than anything else
I was surprised
How is copying a videogame character over and over creative?
I told him he should actually try to draw something, and maybe stop being so rude to his fans. (Not me, btw).
Then i told him that real art consists of emotion, feelings, something you put your heart into
Then he told me my art and feelings are too "dramatic" for miiverse because there are "children who don't care about my feelings". Then like a little... Ahem... He went crying to his art teacher the next day and she said "No, that girl is wrong. Art doesn't need emotion, what do you think Picasso did? Or Van Gough (wow im not gonna try to spell that)"
What?
You're an art teacher?
Telling your student that art doesnt need emotion,
And then comparing it to art hundreds of years ago?
Why do you think they used the colors that they did? Placement of objects?
Emotion.
ART. NEEDS. EMOTION. In order to relate to the AUDIENCE, and it will be a more favorable experience.
