you're not going to be a saint or a patriarch

2019-08-20 23:55:28 UTC  

why bother

2019-08-21 00:09:30 UTC  

If you work out, you get strong, doing art doesn't necessarily make one good at art

2019-08-21 00:10:27 UTC  

Not everyone, however, has the balance to do something like parkour

2019-08-21 00:10:51 UTC  

So if you have no balance, get strong doing something that doesn't make you look like a fucking retard

2019-08-21 00:11:33 UTC  

Or if you can't draw, be creative in a way that doesn't shit up the public sphere with Calarts horseshit

2019-08-21 00:12:57 UTC  

The world would be a much better place if less people thought it was acceptable to larp as an artist

2019-08-21 07:50:47 UTC  

Don't go to a gym and do jumping jacks at the squat rack

2019-08-21 13:37:42 UTC  

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

2019-08-21 13:37:47 UTC  

for one

2019-08-21 13:38:02 UTC  

not to mention the other benefits of having artistic practice

2019-08-21 13:40:30 UTC  

including a better attention to detail

2019-08-21 13:40:40 UTC  

nigga theres a reason chicks dig the artist types

2019-08-21 13:57:37 UTC  

The point is that practise is useless for many people

2019-08-21 13:58:45 UTC  

its not

2019-08-21 13:58:53 UTC  

you get a much better attention ti detail

2019-08-21 13:59:08 UTC  

and you can recognize what makes good art through that practice

2019-08-21 13:59:14 UTC  

even if your own sucks

2019-08-21 15:00:21 UTC  

Is minecraft an art?

2019-08-21 15:10:03 UTC  

practice is the opposite of useless lol

2019-08-21 15:10:27 UTC  

my art teacher would always say that art is 20% talent and 80% practice, and I agree with that

2019-08-21 15:10:39 UTC  

It is

2019-08-21 15:10:39 UTC  

just look at a kid doing doodles. It looks pretty shit right?

2019-08-21 15:10:44 UTC  

then if they keep at it for years

2019-08-21 15:10:53 UTC  

BOOM they become good from repetition

2019-08-21 15:11:10 UTC  

It's a process like with anything else.

2019-08-21 15:11:16 UTC  

Literally everything in life takes practice.

2019-08-21 15:11:29 UTC  

Indeed

2019-08-21 15:12:09 UTC  

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"

2019-08-21 15:44:07 UTC  

There is a strong componwnt of predisposition

2019-08-21 15:44:20 UTC  

This is not about self improvement

2019-08-21 15:44:48 UTC  

If you want to improve, dont pretend you are going to be good at something you are naturally terrible at

2019-08-21 15:56:46 UTC  

not everyone is going to be a pro athlete

2019-08-21 15:56:56 UTC  

exercise is still great

2019-08-21 15:56:59 UTC  

and sports

2019-08-21 15:57:15 UTC  

because it trains something more general that is going to be useful

2019-08-21 15:57:17 UTC  

same with art
