Is it normal that i hate art

i appreciate art if it obviously took a great amount of practice talent and tedious work to do

thats much more important than the creativity aspect and i think they got the proportion backwards in lotsa cases

good art to me is a piece that only .0001% of the population could create not a splattered mess that has some 'deep' meanin cause the artist is so and so

I agree with you, but I don't despise art. I despise literature. I tell you, if you gave a story to an English major, they would find some sort of meaning in it whether there's intended to be one or not, whether the story makes any sense or not.

In my senior year art class we took a walk down to a local university to look at art the students had done. I had never seen such a sad pretentious display in my life. Most of them were shit I'd expect a SJW to make. There was one that was just a bunch of chewed up rose petals on a blanket. Somehow that was a rejection of culture. There was one with a naked lady looking at you from behind. Somehow that was an empowering take on the sexualization of Native American women. There was a video of a skinny bitch with self harm scars pretending to cut herself and fucking pepto bismol coming out of her wounds. Somehow that was about the artist not taking herself seriously. The way my classmates discussed this, adding meaning where there was just a thoughtless haphazard display of mindless crap... I couldn't do it anymore.
I can't remember entirely clearly but I'm pretty sure there was some genderspecial pronoun crap going on there too. I wouldn't have gotten so disillusioned otherwise.
Needless to say I didn't go to art class after that.

Most art now a days is modern bullshit. I perfer the classic painters that paint portraits and landscapes.

If your art looks like you just squirted random colors around randomly on a blank canvas all you can do to sell it is to bullshit what it means.

I believe that art is an individual or groups representation of something, their personal fingerprint. It’s of value no matter what it is, as it depicts a persons thought and result of experience at a given point of time. What do you think.

I like seeing the frame of mind or mindset that went behind the art. Starry Night has been my favorite painting for a long time; I'm kind of embarrassed since it's a cliche, but that painting opened up the concept of abstract art.

At first glance, it seems hastily done with little creativity, but the more you look the more you realize each curvy line and splash of color serves a purpose, unique in its opportunity and they all culminate into something more profound.

For me, most of my appreciation was from being in art classes throughout school. It was difficult to have inspiration, and even more to get what's in my head on paper. You know, some paintings are super thick because the artist painted dozens and dozens of layers. I don't think I can definitively say what I'm looking for, but when I look at art that speaks to me I imagine each stroke, the need for it and its purpose, and how it might have been to from concept to finished.

I've commented around, so I'll also add that I get the same feeling from looking at certain people in eyes. In both cases, my pupils expand, my heart and perception of time slows, and I absorb a lot of information.

You know, the artists who fit this mold are probably the ones I enjoy the most

I don't doubt that they genuinely feel that way about art, I just think it's dumb. They're just nice pictures. Some of them do look gorgeous but to cry over a picture is just over-emotional and ridiculous to me. I can't stand abstract art though. The main reason people find deep meaning in that is because they're looking for it, and the only reason they're looking for it is because they're told by someone that it's there, and so they feel that if they don't find it then they just don't understand, like they're too dumb or shallow to understand. I've heard of a story where they showed some paintings done by three year olds to a group of art experts and they all wanted to meet the genius behind the works, it's all bullshit.

It’s hard to explain art to a Philistine

No pause to contemplate eternity, or beauty, or death. Maybe you’re just mentally stunted in some way.

I don’t think art is boring per se, but I don’t find it deep

You are NOT obligated to like, enjoy or appreciate art. Do your own thing. You aren’t missing out on what doesn’t suit you. Spend time on what works with you. Don’t waste your time. Art is art. You are you. Yeah artists can make a big deal, they can get excited and passionate, it doesn’t mean you are missing out, it means your assets lie elsewhere. As for whether or not people are posing as enthusiasts or if they are actually enthusiastic... both types of people exist and it isn’t your problem to figure it out or enter into an authenticity contest. Just do your own thing.

If they're art students and they seem obsessed with it, they're probably quite moved by it.

Visual art usually doesn't do much for me either unless it somehow highlights mathematical beauty, as is the case with computer-generated fractal art, which I create myself in my spare time.

Art is so subjective, and people are sheeple.

I like realistic art. I think the monolisa sucks. It doesnt look realistic. There's way better artists. In art it seems like its all about the name. Van Go could shoot a canvas with a paintball gun and itd be at art shows.

They sound pretentious. Artists are like that. But the thing about art is that is is extremely varied. The concept of mixed media is lost on some. If you only see art as a painting on a wall you are missing so much.

Movies are art. Fashion is art. Landscaping is art. Writing is art. Singing is art.

To suggest it is limited to literal canvas, you aren't much of an artist.
