You know, it makes me really sad when I hear people who arenât a part of the art world, reach out to me saying things like,â I know that I know nothing about music or writing or art in general, but for what its worth, I absolutely loved what you have createdâ.Â
And im like no bb of course, this is worth so much. I feel like people in the âmiddleâ you know, ones who are in other fields of life often feel like they canât be a part of these conversations or creators wonât value what they say because âwhat do they know, theyâre nobodyâ and im like honey, youâre everybody. Just because you donât know much about this particular art form, I know you know about life and irrespective of what we do, life happens to all of us and the fact that something i created made you feel seen or heard fills me w so much joy because there is absolutely a place for you in this room too.
Often this argument of-â but what have you done/ what do you knowâ, stems as a response to people who tear apart the works of artists or shit on them/ criticize it for some sort of profit whether financial or social, without having any sort of qualifications/ experiences of their own or even being aware of what goes on behind the scenes or the years it takes to create something and that wariness from artists makes a lot of sense too. I do see the need for the credibility of and/ or the criticâs own experiences when it comes to whether the artist being critiqued should consider it or let it go. But please, more âmediocreâ, âaverageâ, ânon-artistâ, âmiddle groundâ people (everything youâve been called)- ur opinions are v much welcome in this house plis tell me all about your life because you've taken the time to listen to mine and something tells me weâll get along :)
I've had a realization about art recently that I think needs to be put out there, especially for non artists:
If you ever see a critically acclaimed piece of art that looks like something you could do, or better yet, looks like a child could do, you should try making it yourself.
You'll probably realize a couple of things: 1. It's actually much harder to make what actually looks very simple. 2. If it's not difficult, you'll know how to make a cool art thing that will impress people. 3. Regardless if it's difficult or not, you'll probably learn a thing or two about how the piece goes together, and can apply the techniques and styles elsewhere.
I first thought about this when I tried to make a keyboard wrist rest with a Jackson Pollock drip pattern, only to find out I had no idea how to get paint to drip like he did. The acrylic and latex paints I had wouldn't do it. (It's also something I haven't gotten back around to looking up, so I still don't know, ha.)
Since then, I've been looking at and emulating all sorts of graphic design styles for my current job, because I'm redesigning all their products and need anything that will stick to the wall. Maybe Memphis patterns aren't what I need for this one product, but maybe it will help me get there, and often times it does. If not, what I learned can go into my next painting perhaps.
This seems obvious as I type it out, but I think the point is more that you should try things you wouldn't otherwise think about trying. Copy the art you would otherwise scoff at and learn something new.
This is what non-artists are like
non-artists: How do you get so good at drawing?
me: I draw everyday.
non-artists: I can't even draw a stick figure.
me: I can't bake a decent cupcake... from a MIX. But that's because I don't bake cupcakes every day.
non-artists: But you have to have some kind of talent to be an artist.
me: Yup. A talent for drawing every day.
