Just living is art. We are all artists.
>>
>>7751563
This but unironically.

Oscar Wilde famously encouraged people to live their lives as a work of art that could go in a great story, like Byron. What he failed to realize is that all of life, everything on earth, is an aesthetic phenomenon. I used to be afraid of aging, but when I saw this experimental art piece where people placed a giant crochet bunny in the Italian alps to rot and decay, I realized even aging is nothing to fear. To watch a beautiful thing slowly disintegrate and disappear is beautiful in itself. There is something beautiful and artistic about a hunched over old man and it's a different kind of beauty than an instagram model, and even the outcast loser has his own kind of strange beauty that is hard to capture on film.

>>7751558
you can tell whoever wrote that shit doesn't even draw
>>
>>7751578
I agree, gatekeeping the label "artist" is cringe af. A 5 year old with a crayon drawing regularly is an artist.
>>
>>7751611
A 5 year old with a crayon is an artist BECAUSE you don’t gatekeep the term. You wouldn’t call a kid with a stethoscope a doctor. It’s self-destructive pomo shit.
>>
>>7751643
You're equating skill with age. Nobody will argue that a kid is a doctor, and not every kid is an artist.
Everyone can draw, and everyone can treat a wound, but there's a big difference between someone making art and being an artist, likewise with doctors.

>>7751558
stopped reading after the 5th line when I could immediately tell the anon was a delusional abrahamic cultist
>>
>>7751563
>dood the Amerimutt eating mcdonald's and blasting shit in a public bathroom after is art!
>dood the chink eating bug paste and beating dogs to death as they're still conscious so he can cook them later is art!
>dood the Indian who is sharting on the sidewalk while loudly talking in Hindi around everyone is art!
>dood the Russian who just got done beating off to gore and chugging vodka and is dying of heroine OD on his crumbling soviet era communal living building's steps is art!
can we stop with this "humanity is le awesome" faggot shit?
>>
>>7751558
Wouldn’t the perception of originality be based on the audience’s experience?
>>
>>7751891
Anon, are you retarded or autistic? What you just did was art. Art is just the process of bringing across a message through a medium. Books, movies, paintings, etc. It's like when we use language to communicate thoughts and ideas. Art isn't a physical thing, even Plato thought so. Seriously.
>>
>>7751900
Plato thought that living in modesty and virtue was art, not wasting time on the internet and eating fast food
>>
>>7751578
That's not art, that's just life. Stop being so pretentious.

>>7751611
I am so sick of reading this facile nonsense.
Just because you make marks on paper does not mean you are an artist. Not gatekeeping has been a disaster for every industry that decided an open doors approach and don't give me that "open source" is best bullshit, those people spent time drilling their discipline to be good, they didn't just permit any jackoff that only knew how to turn on their computer onboard their "open source" projects.
>>
>>7751900
I can tell you suck at drawing and painting. Only someone that is completely ass at drawing and painting defines it in a way they can be granted a title without any effort so they feel like they belong to something that matters.
Newflash cocksucker, you are a clown, not an artist, put on the red nose and ride a one-wheel cycle, asshole.
>>
>>7751904
Correct, though there were also the whole concept of ideas on aesthetics and the manifestation of beauty, one which we can only peek at through glimpses with artworks, but what do I know?
>>7751913
Yes, that's absolutely correct, you asinine excuse of a homo sapien. Everyone can be an artist. Do you think cave painters were not real artists? I also guess Hemingway became widely known because he was good at painting, not his writings. Stop projecting, just because you suck at anything creative. You're embarrassing yourself. Keep writing, I'm dying to know more about your perspectives, or lack thereof. I need a good laugh.
>>
>ugly things are not art
see, this is stupid. you can have something ugly be beautiful, it really depends. wabi-sabi is not a foreign concept even in the west.

typical armchair philosophist bullshit
>>
>>7751927
You're not 1/10th as smart as you think you are which is why people like you constantly have to namedrop people smarter than they are like Hemingway.
Give me a fucking break.
Pick up a pencil or paint brush you piece of shit. You want to matter? Make something instead of rambling. No one gives a fuck otherwise.
Can't?
That's what I thought.
>>
>>7751949
>Durr, I can't conceive of metaphysical concepts such as aesthetics as both ugliness and beauty.
Keep telling yourself that, midwit. You're the prime Dunning-Kruger effect. You matter as much as anyone else. In two or three generations, nobody will remember you nor will they me. The biggest joke on your existence is that people will remember Marco Evaristti and not you. You're on 4chan, you've already lost.
>>
>>7751913
you don't gotta be that mean bro. I disagree a bit with what he said too, but his sentiment is at least nice. I don't think simply living is "art" but the guy thinks that living is art and that seems to give him happiness
>>
why is everyone here so miserable.
>>
>>7751960
are you talking about this board, 4chan as a whole, or the world as a whole?
>>
>>7751963
/ic/. Specifically.
>>
>>7751957
>Marco Evaristti
Namedropping more people. You don't have a single original thought in your head. Get the fuck out of here, nodraw, this board went to shit because morons like you escaped your /lit/ cage. You couldn't make it as a writer so you have to air your grievances on /ic/ of all places. You are not among your kind dipshit.

>>7751960
Once upon a time it was not as shit, not nearly as shit, it is not surprising in the least it went to shit in 2016 and then extra shit the bed in 2020.
>>
>>7751960
discord is better than this shithole
>inb4 trannies and groomers
honestly trannies that draw > schizos that dont and screech about iduno some kind of stupid ass politic
way better
>>
>>7751982
where do i even find discords?
>>
>>7751982
no it's not and if it was you'd be there right now
>>
>>7751986
i join any art ones that get posted either on twitter, instagram or online art schools sometimes have one too, art streamers also usually have one then they'll share more servers inside the actual server
>>
>>7751988
huh is it inconceivable to you that people can have 2 things open at once??????
>>
>>7751960
We aren’t. We just don’t act like a bunch of faggots who are afraid to criticize peoples’ shit art.

>urm see chud i needed this shitty bunny effigy to tell me it ok to age ok
>its akshually super deep and well thoughtout mkay
>you just don't get it it's high art
kill yourself nigger
these publicity stunt money laundering dogshits will never be art
>>
>>7752010
Is that why you do it anonymously? :)
>>
>>7752037
How does anonymity change the fact that your art is shit? Are you one of those retards who says “PYW?”
>>
>>7752043
>afraid to criticize
>don't act like a bunch of faggots
>but do it anonymously
Hypocrite.
>>
>>7751965
art is suffering
>>
>>7752063
I understand that you’re bitchy because your art sucks. Go to a discord hugbox, then.
>>
>>7751908
Imagine being this dismissive of naive art. Why shouldn't a child's drawing be art? Does it not evoke an emotional response in the viewer? Sounds like art to me. Why should the basest of amateurs make you so defensive? If a child's drawing being considered art is such a powerful thing that it would totally devalue the very concept of being an artist, well then it would almost seem like art is a bullshit concept to begin with that came after the fact
>>
>nooo i'm special i'm an artist stop diluting my cheevos
Shutup cringelords, I piss in the snow in the shape of a cat and it's art
