tim is art

2018-08-19 19:24:53 UTC  

and this is why things like art need to have a limit, else anything can be art, and thus "art" has no meaning as a term

2018-08-19 19:25:08 UTC  

why should anything be limited?

2018-08-19 19:25:09 UTC  

This is why people need to speak more specifically.

2018-08-19 19:25:25 UTC  

what's with arbitrary limits?

2018-08-19 19:25:34 UTC  

how does someone calling something art that you don't think is art bothering you? that is extremely authoritarian of you

2018-08-19 19:25:35 UTC  

i think artistic things are art, but not sure if thats circular

2018-08-19 19:25:41 UTC  

If you call yourself an artist, you could mean you do just about anything.

2018-08-19 19:25:44 UTC  

If you don't create limits, you get 842+ genders 😄

2018-08-19 19:26:12 UTC  

i'm not saying it bothers me, i don't care if people disagree with me on what is art 😄

2018-08-19 19:26:18 UTC  

Tim's new vid is fantastic. feels like he went on a little rant and i love it

2018-08-19 19:26:25 UTC  

are any of you with this view actually artists yourselves?

2018-08-19 19:26:26 UTC  

Oh Tim going mad again?

2018-08-19 19:26:38 UTC  

well, i mean the cortez one

2018-08-19 19:26:38 UTC  

depends on waht you label an artist

2018-08-19 19:26:44 UTC  

by your definition

2018-08-19 19:26:49 UTC  

i have a degree in mspaint

2018-08-19 19:27:20 UTC  

Well, I created one of those Bob Ross paintings once,

So if anything i'm a plagiarist? 😛

2018-08-19 19:27:33 UTC  

ok so you are not an artist

2018-08-19 19:27:39 UTC  

No i wouldn't consider myself an artist no

2018-08-19 19:27:42 UTC  

so i think you dont have a place to say

2018-08-19 19:28:02 UTC  

I make art, but i don't consider my work good enough to call myself an Artist

2018-08-19 19:28:20 UTC  

that sounds like self deprecation

2018-08-19 19:28:32 UTC  

self criticism

2018-08-19 19:28:38 UTC  

smells like appeal to authority fallacy to me

2018-08-19 19:28:49 UTC  

I work in an art-related field but I don't consider myself an artist. Clients tell me to make specific things and I get paid to do it, so more of a craftsman than anything.

2018-08-19 19:28:56 UTC  

there are no official qualifications to become an 'artist' that is the beauty of art

2018-08-19 19:29:02 UTC  

I'm not the one coming up with the ideas, just executing it

2018-08-19 19:29:33 UTC  

i just think its weird you are holding artists on some pedestal

2018-08-19 19:29:51 UTC  

cooking is an art

2018-08-19 19:29:56 UTC  

but I don't really have an issue with people calling anything art, my problem is mainly with those who will call one thing art and not another even though it's basically the same thing

2018-08-19 19:29:57 UTC  

I consider someone an artist, if the layman can't remake it

2018-08-19 19:30:18 UTC  

art isn't some magical unattainable thing only meant for a few

2018-08-19 19:30:32 UTC  

art itself is for the masses to enjoy,

"being an artist" is for the few

2018-08-19 19:30:51 UTC  

yes thats what i meant 'being an artist'

2018-08-19 19:31:12 UTC  

doesn't have to be some rare city of gold only for the few

2018-08-19 19:31:13 UTC  

imo

2018-08-19 19:31:41 UTC  

being a *good* artist is another story

2018-08-19 19:32:12 UTC  

art does not equal quality

2018-08-19 19:32:28 UTC  

and has nothing to do with the definition

2018-08-19 19:32:41 UTC  

well thats our difference then,

I consider "good artists" to just be artists, and people who arent "good artists", not to be artists

Its a difference in how we define "artist"
