Favorite/least fav kind of art Options

[*salcha4u*]

I'd have to say watercolors as least favorite because they take so long and it's tedious. Oil pastels are my favorite because the colors are pretty and it always turns out nice at the end.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

I hate those grid sketches. Where you enlarge a picture using grids. Shit I just hate them. I love plain sketches, though. Acrylic breaks my heart too.

[*disco infiltrator*]

I hate drawing with mechanical pencils. It makes it really hard to add shading or detail.

[clarissa]

Favorite: Colored pencils. Especially the Prismacolor kind. Mmm.

Least favorite: Oil paints. They take so looong to dry! I don't have that kind of patience but it does look good in the end.

That modern art crap. Paint blots, ugh. All they do is splash paint on canvas and it's "art."

[clarissa]

^ I understand it, somehow. It's the artists way of rebelling against traditional art. I dunno. Once I took art history at school, I began to appreciate it more.

Haha I hate that shit! How the hell do they even give that stuff a name/title, like the actual piece they make.

My favorite form of art would have to be photography mos def. It's like... you can always find and see the greatest views and perspectives of something, or a certain place and feel peace and wanna take it with you, but you can't. Photography kinda helps with that. It could be the you looking down the railroad tracks, a view of the city at night, the sun setting over the mountains, anything. I love it.

[Unfold]

i like painting of all kinds
it's what i do best

photography also is a lot of fun. it's super expensive though

im not fond of drawing though. i was never good at it

[radhikaeatsraman]

i actually quite like modern art. it's not only a proverbial "f**k you" to traditional art, but some just like doing it for the sheer joy of doing art.

[marzipan]

hm, i don't think i have a least favorite, but my favorite would be drawing/sketching. it's what i'm best at.

[KissMe2408]

I really love sketching and oil pastels. Those def are my favorite.

I hate watercolor. I don't know why, I just do.
I should probably take a class, just so I can appreciate it more or whatever.

[merriej]

I love creating just about everything; lately I've been working with ceramics and it's great fun. And I always do digital photography, but only because it's cheap and I can get lots of practice. I want to do real film though soon.

When I went to the Tate Museum in England, I was amazed at what was considered art. There were tons of those pain blot pictures. In one room, there was even a urinal and it was considered art. And then the pile of bricks. Seriously, there was a pile of bricks that had a whole room to itself, plus a whole history on where it had been displayed.

My dad said to me, "You know, I bet that a bunch of these artists get together every year and laugh about how people think their stuff is art."

[*Uronacid*]

I love pencil drawings, notbook doodles, graphiti, and anime. I hate icons, banners, and blends.... >.>

I guess I'll take the question, and this thread, on a broader scale.

My favorite form of art is film. Cinema is one of the youngest, most complex, most versatile, most influential, and fastest evolving art forms ever employed on a mass scale. Less than two-hundred years old, film has seen a shrinking of evolution in comparison to other mediums of expression. The level of technology used and required to actually produce a movie is so much higher than most forms of art that there have been many hardships as well as controversies within the medium. Because of the technical requirments and the equipment involved in filming, early cinema was a venture only suited for the rich and crazy. As profits began to emerge and public awareness and demand for the entertainment grew, as did the technology surrounding the art form. With the expensive reality of filmmaking, the art was often trivialized for the commerical asperations, as well as financial limitations.

It costs money to make a movie. Unless you do not want to make another film, you are going to have to expect to make some kind of financial gain somewhere. Most of the time, this gain and profit comes from the commerical enterprise of the intellectual property itself. This could have been a very sad state of affairs for the art form. However, as the technology grew, and the technical requirements shrunk, more and more people were able to produce their own films, with little or no help from a studio or investor. We saw the explosion of independent filmmaking. Slowly, the artistic expression could envelope more time, effort, creativity, and freedom for less money and with fewer promises towards commerical success.

As an art form, cinema is endlessly complex, and perfectly versatile. It has the ability, more so than any current medium, to replicate the human experience. With this replication comes the endless amounts of commentary onto it. Beyond even replication comes the further possibility to show the audience, and allow the audience to experience something far beyond their own window of opportunity. The filmmaker had been given the power to take audiences to places, meet people, and experience things they may never see, or even which never existed - but on the screen. The endless possibilities and sophistication of communication make film the most living, vivid, vibrant, important, and fantastic art form of our time.

Least favorite? Hmmm.
Found objects/Contemporary Sculptures.

[Although, least favorite is so, eh. I can find beauty and poignant meaning within nearly any medium of artistic expression.]

I hate those grid sketches. Where you enlarge a picture using grids. Shit I just hate them. I love plain sketches, though. Acrylic breaks my heart too.

Those are so annoying. I can never get the pictures in the different sections to match up. And I don't like watercolors, because mine always run (because I suck).

I like pencil drawings. (in a cartoony style)

[*shannonx1*]

oh... when i read "Favorite And Least Favorite", i thought it meant like surrealism, abstract; that stuff haha.

my favorites are... oil pastels and oil painting. i also like acrylic painting. and pencil shading. haha i like all kinds.
but hum... i guess my least favorite would be charcoal or something. oh, yes, charcoal and chalk pastels.

it's definately not just splashing paint on a canvas. you've still got to think about balance in colors, hot and cold. composition. so what if it's just paint splatters? a lot of people that paint like that actually use the colors and shapes to express an emotion or an event. i think it takes a lot more thought that just spelling it all out in a realistic rembrandt kind of thing. if you want to express anger you use hot reds, oranges. but if you're trying to explain an event like 9/11 it's a whole lot harder to do it abstract than it is to do it realistic. you could just paint the trade centers collapsing and smoke. but i saw a huge one today and was so cool. it had dark gray blotches to represent smoke and then bright orange planes. and he use big jagged lines and shapes to show rubble and remains of the buildings. it took me a second to realize that it was 9/11 but it was a whole lot more interesting that just a picture of the trade centers. anyway i think i've made my point.

as for answering the question, i like pop art. and my favorite medium is oil paints. don't like acrylics. but my least favorite is either pencil or watercolor. pencil can be done really cool but it's just not for me. i like charcoal though i lot. and chalks....goodness I DUNNO!!!
