But it's OK, I like that sort of thing. I can appreciate modern art, so long as it has a point. What's your favourite type of art? OUT OF THESE TWO. One that is detailed, beautiful and often made of oil, but often doesn't have a real message... OR One that is messy and could've done yourself, but with an inspiration or thought behind it.

Replies EarthEmpire Posted at 9:29 pm on June 8, 2008 I like pretty things with meanings. I don't think of scribbles and blotches of paint as something extremely valuable (yeahyeah, I'm sorry, but I don't like abstract). breakapart Posted at 7:07 pm on June 8, 2008 Messy, but within reason.  I am a very sketchy artist and though I can do realism and appreciate the realistic work of others, I'm just more drawn to the sketchy wild pieces. starrynight401 Posted at 7:03 pm on June 8, 2008 I like both but the thing is there is hidden symbolism in a lot of that art that you would describe as very detailed and meaningless. Just not many people look into it. Princess o palities Posted at 12:22 pm on June 8, 2008 I would have to go with the second one because I personally like having a meaning behind my work but I think there is a time and place for both sides. ElephantStone Posted at 11:33 am on June 8, 2008 Jackson Pollock is probably my favourite artist KeiraOasis Posted at 11:32 am on June 8, 2008 What about neat ones that DO have meaning behind it? Personally i love the abstract stuff with many possible meanings behind it. whyiioveu Posted at 11:31 am on June 8, 2008 more detailed with oil pastel, do u know how hard it is to work with oil pastel?!?!?!?! ToDrunkToFunction Posted at 11:31 am on June 8, 2008 I think paintings should have a strong mesage within them. Rather then just something pretty. I think that if you waste so much time thinking about your next art piece it should be one that has a powerful message. rather then something that people glance at. make them think about it.   Reefer Posted at 11:30 am on June 8, 2008 I really don't care much for art. But If I had to choose it'd prolly be the latter. evilchild Posted at 11:29 am on June 8, 2008 im a figure draw artist and i like to draw more than to paint or anything else that ppl do in art. EventerChick Posted at 11:29 am on June 8, 2008 I like both. It sorta depends on my mood though. Aqua Lily Posted at 11:28 am on June 8, 2008 it doesn't depend on that, it depends on the actual art, if it looks good, if it has a good meaning... to be honest i like both in the same painting. but its best if its fairly unique Syber Posted at 11:28 am on June 8, 2008 The second one... Kevin01 Posted at 11:27 am on June 8, 2008 I love seeing a painting that makes me think. Basically, has a strong point/message. save the world Posted at 11:27 am on June 8, 2008 The former.
