you're not going to be a saint or a patriarch
why bother
If you work out, you get strong, doing art doesn't necessarily make one good at art
Not everyone, however, has the balance to do something like parkour
So if you have no balance, get strong doing something that doesn't make you look like a fucking retard
Or if you can't draw, be creative in a way that doesn't shit up the public sphere with Calarts horseshit
The world would be a much better place if less people thought it was acceptable to larp as an artist
Don't go to a gym and do jumping jacks at the squat rack
the world would be a much bettrr place if more people had a fundamental understanding of artistic principles and would not commiaion shit-on-canvas public art
for one
not to mention the other benefits of having artistic practice
including a better attention to detail
nigga theres a reason chicks dig the artist types
The point is that practise is useless for many people
its not
you get a much better attention ti detail
and you can recognize what makes good art through that practice
even if your own sucks
Is minecraft an art?
practice is the opposite of useless lol
It is
just look at a kid doing doodles. It looks pretty shit right?
then if they keep at it for years
BOOM they become good from repetition
It's a process like with anything else.
Literally everything in life takes practice.
Indeed
I just get annoyed with the mentality of "you will probably never be successful so dont even try"
"stop trying to self improve and work, you'll never be anything"

There is a strong componwnt of predisposition
This is not about self improvement
If you want to improve, dont pretend you are going to be good at something you are naturally terrible at
not everyone is going to be a pro athlete
exercise is still great
and sports
because it trains something more general that is going to be useful
same with art
