I’ve always had a love for the arts, but in my early 20’s I started seriously questioning whether I really wanted to major in the arts. The thought of all of the time spent in the classroom or at a studio was enough to scare me into thinking I might be better off taking up golf or tennis instead.
Today I realized that the same thing happened to me, and that the arts are something I want to make a career out of. I now realize that there are plenty of other things I could do that I haven’t considered. So many people talk as if the arts are something to be ashamed of, but there’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a natural outgrowth of the human mind that we want to be the best at something.
The arts are not only something to be ashamed of, they are in fact something that’s good for you. As much as I hate to admit it, my entire family has been involved in the arts for a very long time. I graduated high school, so I was raised in a household where art was a major part of the education. My mom was a painter and my aunts were all sculptors, so I grew up surrounded by artists and art.
Even though its no longer a major part of school, that doesn’t mean it isn’t still a major part of people’s lives. For most people, the arts are something that they want to do part-time so they can be around the people who live and work in their area. If I haven’t been able to participate in art my entire life, it’s been mainly because I was more comfortable with my own life.
Some people like to take it more seriously, others don’t. But, when you look at the popularity of art in the US, you would think it has always been here. However, as I’ve discovered, art and athletics are as much a part of society as the rest, and it is a very different experience for most people than it might be for the average person.
Ive seen a lot of people who consider themselves to be part of the arts, but dont have a clue what it is. For instance, Ive seen people who are in the arts, but dont know that they are. It happens every day, and it is the same thing. People who consider themselves art critics (a.k.a. “art geeks”) are the most common type.
Artists are usually people with some sort of artistic ability, but not necessarily a major one. In the arts, it is not uncommon to find people who are technically proficient, but dont actually care what they look like. Even though it is normal, it is also a bit weird and weird to find people who actually do not care what art they produce is. In the arts, you often run into people who dont even know what an artist is.
If you have a problem with people who don’t know what an artist is, then you have a problem with them. As an art critic, I don’t really think you can be one. I do think that it is possible to be an art critic without knowing exactly what an artist is. The problem with that person is that they cant have any sort of appreciation for an artist.
You can be an art critic and think that you are an expert when you dont know what an artist is. It is also possible to be a critic but not know what an artist is. I actually think that we both have that kind of problem. A lot of people on the internet are ignorant about what an artist is. We all want to be experts, and most of us think that we are.
One of the best things about art is it is one of the most universal types of art. You can do whatever you want with it. You can use it to make the world a better place, to have a conversation about it, to create a relationship with it. It can be a tool to write a book, to create a sculpture, to write a movie.
