omg people. art is not judgemental. it would be hysterical if it was, but...

:lol:
 
C&C= Critique and Comments
I dont like your photo = A comment.

Well either way it is isn't helpful just rude. Lalalalala I could go on forever anyway bye :D

So maybe next time you should just ask for constructive criticism and no comments.

"Some weekend pix for...C!"

Either that or C-ATMITMPIAGAITII
That is: "Criticism minus anything that might imply that my picture isn't as good as I think it is"
 
Meh I think this thread has made it's point and is done... :)

I see your argument, but you cannot discount the fact that there is a method for all types of composition. Any rule is technical, otherwise they wouldn't be called rules. Rules of space, thirds, odds, geometry/symmetry - There is a science to all of this. If not, why not?
Not all of composition is rules. I personally don't like the term "rule" of thirds. Most of composition and elements of design, are observations of how the mind works. I don't like how you are trying to prove that art is science, or that you can take a scientific approach to it.
I think we've reached a place where we agree to disagree. I'm not telling you that you are wrong, and I am willing to bet my month's income that you know way more than I do. However, I have the ability to draw a conclusion based on the information given. How are rules not technical? Obviously they aren't laws of physics, but I believe there is a great technical aspect to all art. If you are certain that I am **wrong**, I am all about being educated. I'm not like most of these people on here that have their ideas set in stone. I'm willing to be persuaded, but the value of that fact arrives at the strength of the argument.
There is far, far more to it though. There is the artists lif experiences that effect his art. There is emotion and feeling and intuition involved in the decision making and creation process. You can't simply take a technical approach to art and expect to come out with anything truly meaningful. When you do, it is just design. It is design in a pure form, devoid of real self expression.
As for creativity deriving from technicality, I know from my own personal experience that my creativity (or what some call art) for anything that I do comes from being good at it technically. Maybe I am a rare case, but I can only go by personal experience. Repetition and monotonous actions become boring, and I try to find a different way to do the same thing.
I am the same way. I hate mass production. Once I make something, I don't ever want to make it again. In a way this is a good trait, for the reason you say. It will push you to go further, eventually.
I misrepresented my point about not being able to teach art, what I meant to say was you can't teach taste and you don't have to be an artist to understand art.
I think artists understand art more than non-artists. I am thinking you want to say "you don't have to be an artist to appreciate art", which relates directly to "taste". I agree, you can't teach taste. You can educate someone all you want about various forms and styles of art, but in the end they will still like most, what fires their synapses. :DI really appreciate this discussion with you. As you can tell, I have very strong feelings on the subject. :sexywink:

If you're going to ask for C&C, then prepare to either crawl into a corner a cry or grow thicker skin.If a response such as "It's oversaturated" or "Everything is out of focus" can easily be taken as rudeness. however, it's simply a statement and should be taken as such.
How about stop being lazy or you're an idiot, is that considered constructive as well. Oh heres another one "your wife is probably banging your friend". You have to admit there are alot if useless straight up rudeness around here. Sadly I do contribute from time to time.
