RE: Contest: Art Commenting Contest
In my own opinion, I think that artists can be influenced by some of the things around them. That can arouse some inspiration to create something that conveys the feelings, thoughts and general state of mind of the artist when they saw, felt or touched that thing. I know how I feel when I'm trying to create a new piece. I get inspired by many things and want to express it in the same way I feel. I don't know if you understand what I mean.
About the time when something is made art or can be deemed fit to be called 'art', I think that's the artist's choice. As for art lovers determining what seems like a good piece of art or not, it's subjective.
Thank you ✨
The question is not if an artist is inspired to create but who says or decides that what is created is art! This is a huge difference.
Why do you call yourself an artist and your neighbour isn't?
Who decided Herman Brood is or Karel Appel and the average child in kindergarten isn't?
If I understand you well everyone can state s/he is an artist and the rest depends on luck (being recognized as such and getting famous and rich).
I would say it's also knowing the right people. Networking and all that.
