Hi artbylt, I was bored in class one day and started doodling and my friends was like, "WOAH COOL!" or ,"Lol do you draw alot?" so I started drawing and now I want to be like you...however I'm different because all I do is just swirls and black ink. Unlike other artist who can draw good and choose to go back to swirls.....so basicly what I'm asking is please check out my videos and tell me should I continue drawing or forget it.......

@InkMakesArt

You have a good sense of design and control of your drawing tool. If you love what you're doing, keep going. Your art will evolve. It doesn't matter where you start.

I laugh at people looking at abstract art and thinking it has deep meaning. It's just a couple of fucking squiggles and a fe different colours

[cheeturtle]

@DJsaxby16 i agree, but we all have our different opinion's on the way we see art. if he doesnt want to see it with a meaning, then so be it. we all see and do our art differently, and that is why it makes our art unique and beautiful.

[dabadeedabadie001]

@DJsaxby16 Yes I am an artist, I draw squiggly lines all the time.....Art means drawing pictures or making sculptures of actual "THINGS", all this modern art bullshit with it's "deep meaning" stuff is a load of crap, if you want to express yourself with deep meaning then go write poetry. In fact modern art "artists", as you call them, strike me as failed poets, who think a load of squiggly lines will put their message out there.

[DJsaxby16]

@dabadeedabadie001 God people like you are so ignorant. The deep meaning is from within, not from the outside, but the inside. You can express it any way you want to in art. This painting is a great example. Abstract art is strickly visual like she said, but it does have deep meaning. I mean are you even an artist, cause if you are you would know this kind of stuff.

Caravaggio would roll over in his grave if he were to see the modern day garbage that saturates the art world of today.

Abstract art is what Islam does and ancient civilizations also did, this is nor abstract OR art, it´s just a pile of ¨%&$*(&*()

@xXPinkGoddessXx We agree here. But this is the problem, where do you draw the line? It seems to me a fact that the vast majority of the population today would more readily recognize as artful a piece of advertisement or a ghetto graffiti (however abstract) than most of the works exhibited in contemporary art museums and accompanied by even less intelligible, and irritatingly pretentious, critical commentaries. There is a disconnect, a social divide, that is alienating people from art.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@DonVoghano It's true that abstract art allows talentless artists much more leeway than any other art form, but that doesn't detract from those who actually know what they're doing and can create works that are beautiful or evocative. It's not fair to judge a whole style of art by its worst examples, when there are enough great examples to negate them.

[DonVoghano]

@xXPinkGoddessXx Yes, however most people expect beauty in art, and contemporary artists looking to shock or to appear novel at all cost should not be surprised when their work is misunderstood or ridiculed. Furthermore many contemporary artists willingly or unwillingly disregard technique and favor a spontaneistic or gimmicky approach which very often fails to deliver whatever message they are trying to get across. There are ideological flaws in this conception of what art is, in my opinion.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@DonVoghano I agree that beauty is certainly limited by a number of factors, but beauty isn't the sole reason that people appreciate art, especially abstract.

[DonVoghano]

@xXPinkGoddessXx It seems pretty undeniable that there is a limited range of aesthetic parameters with regard to what is visually and acoustically perceived as harmonious or beautiful. These parameters are not so granitic that they don't allow a near endless world of possible art, but they are not so inconsistent that they may be disregarded. In the hyper-intellectualized pretense of unbridled expression, contemporary art often steps out of bound with beauty and is rightly despised by the masses
