-- Posted by Wakeupcall at 11:26 am on June 8, 2008 I'm doing more and more paintings on photoshop (a new one is in my IB), but I've noticed that as a sketcher by nature, the results tend to be a bit scribbly. 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. -- Posted by Trastie at 11:27 am on June 8, 2008 If I can do it my self it really shouldn't be able to be qualified as art. -- Posted by save the world at 11:27 am on June 8, 2008 The former. -- Posted by Kevin01 at 11:27 am on June 8, 2008 I love seeing a painting that makes me think. Basically, has a strong point/message. -- Posted by Syber at 11:28 am on June 8, 2008 The second one... -- Posted by Aqua Lily 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 -- Posted by EventerChick at 11:29 am on June 8, 2008 I like both. It sorta depends on my mood though. -- Posted by evilchild 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. -- Posted by Reefer 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. -- Posted by ToDrunkToFunction 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.   -- Posted by whyiioveu 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?!?!?!?! -- Posted by KeiraOasis 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. -- Posted by ElephantStone at 11:33 am on June 8, 2008 Jackson Pollock is probably my favourite artist -- Posted by Princess o palities 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. -- Posted by starrynight401 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. -- Posted by breakapart 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. -- Posted by EarthEmpire 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).
