its true. i could splat colors on a white board and call it art. or draw squares and circles. but when you talk about replicating the type of artwork that davinci, greco, michalengalo, velasquez or people like that; lots of people don't paint like that anymore. its more about feeling and impressions (which is completely fine and i enjoy a lot of it) but old paintings were so much more about painting a picture and describing every detail.
exactly - & it's the same thing w/music, that's what I was refering to w/that comment
music is so much more about feeling. and it was like, "how can i express this love? write a symphony." but now its like, "how can i write a song about love that will make me rich?"
