So cool to see the growth!
kandinsky ain’t got nothin on her
I just learned a thing about art.
You can just paint circles. And still make amazing art.
Things that have always stopped me from trying to art:
- I can’t understand shapes and perspective
- I can’t understand shading and lighting
- I can’t make faces or human bodies because I don’t perceive them really (every face I draw is the same face, because that is what my face blindness sees)
- I can’t think of scenes to make
- I don’t understand “simplifying” what my eye sees into the mushes that artists make (For example, were to try to draw a tree, it would take me 50 years because the only way I could interpret it would be to draw every single individual leaf, exactly as it appears, which is impossible)
Today I learned that I don’t have to do any of those things in order to art.
I could just paint circles forever, and that would count as art. As cool art.
I would personally be happier with squares. But still. I could just. Draw shapes and paint them in, and it would count as art.
Eye-opening.
Do it! Pick a shape or a geometric pattern and make a rule, just like they did. Then try a new rule. Then combine rules. It’s going to come out amazing, and over time you’ll be able to do more and more complex things!
And yes it’s art! It is making art! Go make some art!
