It's Like an Update but Not

I know I said I was only going to post on Wensdays but posts like these don't count. I can add these in whenever I want and you can't stop me!

Today, I got my dad to finally put up that desk I got for Christmas that has been blocking up a third of the hallway for about four months now I think. I was really nervous to put it up because I thought it was going to be too big and drive me nuts since I find small, clutered spaces displeasing. Instead, it is really cool looking and I think I may be in love and found a new wave of insperation from it. It makes me want to run down to the art store and buy the place out. I feel so offical with this thing! It's got draws and the desk can lean forward and what not! I keep looking over at it and it makes me happy to see it.

So my biggest project at the moment is an art study I started at the begining of the month. I plan on going back and looking at all my favorite cartoons and studying the styles in order to learn how to copy and duplicate as if I were working for a cartoon. I'm looking at this as a career or maybe just a useless hobby that is fun either way. I'm also going to use this as part two of my indepent art study for my art class. Pretty stoked for that even though that's not for a while. Maybe when I'm done with it, I'll post something here for you all.

So far this post has been pretty pointless but I really wanted to blog some art related stuff (in a round about way, yes). I guess before I sign off, I want to talk about a few things I've noticed in my art class about these so called 'artists'.

First, painting is like whereing name brand shirts; know one notices how pretty your shirt is if it isn't from Holister. Same thing applies for art. No one really cares what you're doing in art unless you are painting. I mean, when I was working on my first indepent study back in December, hardly anyone wandered over to my table and commented on how nice my drawings were. You pratically had to hold their heads down to make them even look at the damn things. But, as soon as I began to paint the my Pinky portriat (the one that should have one something at that stupid art gallery), everybody was all like, 'Wow! That looks really nice!" and I'm sitting there like, '...What about all the other equally nice things I've been producind over the last two weeks?'.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the compliments but I just found it strange that I only got them when I was painting. You can also notice how 99% paint for all their projects (I'm that 1% who prefers drawing). So it's like painting is like being part of the in crowd or something. I really don't know! It just really intrests me why this is. It must bug me because I like drawing over painting so I exspect more love for me doing what I love. Whateveh.

Lastly, a topic you all know lives on the top of my hit list: Abstract art. Dear God that stuff makes me so upset! Abstact art is for me like it is for normal people who flip out when someone speaks to them in another launguage; it frustrates and confuses me. To me, this form of art holds no value and requires no imagination. You litarelly take a peice of paper and slap a paint brush on it and call it art...BUT IT'S NOT ART!
Last week, we did an absract unit and it was torture. I could make four pieces in a minute and then got really bored. I tried as best as I could to add meaning to them but as you all remeber from my facebook post, I get really dark when I try to do stuff like this.
To me, abstracts art is really an excape goat for 'artists' out there who have either A) no imagination B) don't want actually put effort forward into their work or C) like to take the easy way out of a world they're suppose to be control in! It is really the lamest excuse to go 'I like abstarct art because, if I mess up, I can just pretend I ment to do that, call it abstarct, and still have it be art'. No you can't. It really doesn't work that way. If it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, go back and fix it. You're the damn artist, you control what happens, not that piece. And if you're going to call it anything, be origonal and say 'it's my interpritation of what I saw'. Oh Lawdry! You sound all dignified and artsy when you put it that way!
Hopefully now you can understand my pain. And if you don't agree with me, let me have this and don't bother telling me~

Welp. I hope you have enjoyed this random reading (that is if anyone is reading at all) and can't wait for next weeks post...what that will be I haven't decided. I have quite a few things I could put together for a post but whatev.

Love you all!
