I dont get the question, but love has to be the answer

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 ·

it can't be love b/c some people paint sad or dramatic things that they don't necessarily love. i think it is awe b/c you have to have a certain sense of awe or wonder for whatever it is you are trying to depict otherwise why would you bother to paint (draw, scult, whatever)the person, scene, etc.

then you can argue its your 'love' or 'passion' for expression yourself.. that creates art....

good point birds... thats what I was about to say...

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 ·

perhaps "awe" isn't the right word. then no one answer totally applies. i hate your stupid poll, even if it is thought provoking

when i read "art" i thought of lyrics for some reason, which is why i voted love. but also i think the basis of true art has to be love anyway, because true artists create true art because they love art, regardless of whether they love or hate the subject. true art has lots of emotion, regardless of what that emotion or mood is, it is spurred by love.

eh, that's my take anyway.

i dont know.. heartburns pretty intense. i mean... it hurts literally

true, true, but i dont really think it inspires too many people

thats what i thought of too...almost every song you can think of is about love...in some way...heartbreak, happy love....every type of love...thats what motivates music and art....for the most part
