[QUOTE=Thlis;47903314]You can't dislike modern art or the practices associated with it.
You're just edgy or jealous if you claim otherwise.[/QUOTE]
not edgy or jealous, just for the most part completely ignorant of modern art and the practices associated with it.

[QUOTE=Gwoodman;47885570]what's with these reactionary comments people have
do you truly believe art is a fucking joke based on this one news article or a couple dozen more unorthodox or terrible exhibits in between hundreds of thousands of even millions of artists out there?
and you make this post using a hotline miami fanart avatar, like.. whaaat?[/QUOTE]
um i'll have you know i'm an art expert and art is defined by nice looking drawings and that's it. i have very nice oc sonic fanart that gets no praise because the hipsters are taking over the medium and i'll stop at nothing to raise awareness of this important issue on forums like facepunch studios dot com so one day real true art will get the recognition it deserves
[QUOTE=NO ONE;47886036]Wellllll, not quite. It certainly can be [I]highly[/I] subjective, but when you start looking at art with a more, let's say scientific point of view, you start to see what makes good art, well, good. My studies so far in graphic design have really opened my eyes to this. I always knew before hand, but now I can finally explain what makes good art good.[/QUOTE]
You've confused commercial design with science and art with commercial design. "Scientific" isn't a synonym for objective. Commercial art and design is the field of art which concerns itself with practice because that's the point of graphic design, but all the things you've mentioned are a matter of practice, not quality - analogous to how usage of nouns and verbs in language are a matter of practice and not quality. Quality has a very different meaning in design than it does in art criticism.
Judging the quality of art is a cultural phenomenon which dates back to centuries of aesthetics. "Scientifically" orchestrated art looks good in an era of common practice with commercial art such as the McDonalds logo, but it would not look good in the context of art movements in the past which shunned "pure" color such as the impressionists. Essentially what looks good to us is a matter of exposure and social identification, and is not culturally agnostic.

I kind of grasp what you're saying, but at the same time I'm still very much a student and thus don't quite have a full understanding.
Thinking back to my required Drawing 1 class, there was a lot of examples given of drawings that were unfinished. Drawings that were not even realistic or anatomically correct. Still very much fine, as a depiction of something was still achieved and detail could still be appreciated. Still, drawings could be broken down in to simpler bits. Emphasis was put on things such as focal points, creative/strategic use of negative/positive space, less use of lines and more of shading, etc. It's not like certain quality pieces of art don't have one or more principles of design in them.
I suppose though that is but only one perspective and not how art is to be judged and enjoyed as a whole.

I'd love to see somebody that does caligraphy make a really large (like, a meter across or so) ink drawing and perfectly copy the font and recreate that post.
