As the saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". That famous Dutch painter never sold a painting during his lifetime but at present time, his Dr. Gachet portrait was the top seller (of his paintings) at $138.4 million, followed by "Irises 1889" at $101.2 million.
Art is fun when one can relate the art piece to her/his own personal experiences and taste. And, art can be more exciting when one discovers it within herself/himself. Have you tried drawing a piece of shoe upside down (when you don't see it as a shoe?). It is a fun and exciting exercise.
The premise of the exercise is, when you don't recognize the object you are drawing, you don't have a preconceived idea what it is and you learn to be more observant, appreciating every twist and turn of the object you are drawing.
That is very correct Cat.
ReplyDeletepero, gusto ko yung shoes-ses....its not art anymore..its a woman's instinct na.!

tastes changes I guess...
ReplyDeletethere's that pattern of art (be it painting or sculpture) being more valuable if the artist is dead :-) most of the time...hehehe
ahahaha ang nangyari is I was picturing myself standing upside down and drawing a shoe...*buzzer sound*...mali!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a sight to see. Of course a much simpler way is to have your shoe picture turned upside down.
ReplyDeleteeto na lang, hawakan ko shoe..no need to draw...

ReplyDeleteI see...that makes sense and hopefully cranks out the creative juices...
