First of all..where have you been!? :kiss: At first I was like...that question is pretty simple...but then I actually had to think about the response for a while. Animals live by instinct. And some are more intelligent than other animals. I would say that spider webs and birds nests are pretty amazing and something like a spider web can't be replicated by man in strength or design. I mean, sure we could rip a web up in seconds...but in a spiders relative size, it's tough stuff. But really, a spider and it's ability to create a web weren't of it's own creation. Something created animals first with those abilities. And humans too, now that I think about it. I mean, if you believe that God exists and is the original creator... then the real artist is God. But who knows. What about animals makes you think they are art creators?

thats the most sense i've read

Who cares if you are just seventeen? I am sure the answer is obvious at the age of eight when you get picked on for being fat :P the world SUCKS Lera... and always will. You can act all happy and hippity if you want to make things positive for you...and that is all fine and dandy. But there won't be a time when you become completely blind to injustice, life is always fair, things always end right side up. No way is anyone gonna have that life. Art teachers: probably on my list of top ten...scum of the earth. I mean, I have taken some art classes for different things. Painting art class is where you find the most pretentions, phony sons of bitches. Theses ladies and gentlemen truly think they know what art is and you are right. They are always trying to make you think that art is anything you want it to be and that everyone is an artist and only and individuals opinion or taste matters. But they give you low grades on work they think isn't art. I mean. that is a huge contradiciton...obviously. My sister was 16 and in a art class and the teacher told the class: " Draw anything you want today. No one will be graded, everyone can just draw what they feel like drawing in any color and shape. Just make sure it's artistic"... My sister drew and color a monkey with green arms, head and body in an all green rainforest and green rain coming down. The teacher takes up her paper and rips it in half and tells her to start over. What kind of a person let alone "artist" is that?! A dumb one :wacko: Anyway. I don't know what to say about your bit on people being phony when they make money out of art. There is a lot I could say but just can't put it into words just yet.

Oh, gooood thread :blush: I think I am pretty satisfied with where I am now. SOmetimes it seems like shit and I complain, but when I think of having to live somewhere else... I think...It could be worse than here and probably is. But if I had to pick another place it would have to involve free healthcare and lots of things to do and somewhere I could hop to another state/country and be totally immersed in a different culture. I mean, here... I could dirve/fly to another state and it's just about the same. Yes, states in the US definitely differ from one place to the next and blah blah...but we speak the same language, go to similar school systems, have the same stores and activities (ahem, none!). But if I lived somewhere like the UK, I could fly over to France, or Spain or Germany and it would be great differences. Scenery to blow your mind. I am all about nature and I think it would be great to be somewhere in the middle of Europe. I think that idea may come from being around Americans. Americans travel, alot. And it is mostly like: "Oh, this summer we are vacationing in Europe" and everyone is like OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that is grand. It just seems like it is so completely different and more exciting over there because you better know Americans are bored out of their mind watching mindless hours of television and comsuming shit all day. So yeah, anywhere in Europe please. -C.

sorry i missed you on msn :bomb: I forgot i had church to go to!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: shame on me!

it's true. no one can change the world...you can make a difference sometimes and do like they say "make a dent" in this world. But once you go, it goes. I think you can be GOOD at something and that can maybe make you think you are an artist. Like maybe if you do make-up well, or have a sense of style that many people seem to think is pleasant. Whatever it is. Don't listen to teachers. Unless they are the type that go against the grain, you know. They have their very own style they learned by themselves and give you honest down to earth answers. Teachers are so full of shit sometimes, there are only one or two good ones in a school at a time. Seriously. Art is anything you want it to be, from anyone. Really. Even they gay ones that are full of themselves. Because, really they are doing their own thing even if people throw eggs at their house everyday because their arts sucks. If they want to call it art...then so be it. You might think they suck, the whole world might think they suck...and that person just might be crazy ...but whatever. What are ya gonna do, right? Maybe art is nothing and we think it is everything. Maybe it's just doing stuff that is so general, and real art will always be hidden. ah, i'm just full of it.

kkkkkk okay

nope

lets just guess that the word count is infinity because we still haven't stopped writing and I never will stop trying! so there! you know i will wait for your reply. :kiss: have fun at the court today :) -dirty C.

i am complaining on never having seen Ben Kweller perform "Sundress" live. And my foot is sore. And I haven't scheduled any appointments yet. My dress is too big still and too damn long and the bust is still too small on that thing and I just can't wait until September 8th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bomb: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid seamstess! Stupid timing.

i am rebelious in everything that i do.

yeah, that is why I asked you because I have had to periodically clean out my inbox because of it's fullness. And I must have cleaned some of yours out at one point. I really wonder how many there have been in total. :blush:

a real artist would say that is total bullshit. I wouldn't consider myself an artist. I just consider myself someone that makes things, paints things, writes things. whatever. If it's called "art" then so be it. Now. all this art in it's purest form...that is a bunch of bull. Because well, who can fucking KNOW or can begin to define what art is...let alone PURE art?! NOt one single person. I guess you can only define it as an individual viewing someones creation. Art does not define human what it is to be human... it's just art. It doesn't even define the person creating it. Let's not get all philisophical on something that can never be defined. NOt ever ever no matter how verbose you get. ". Art helps us see the world in a new light - reveals truths that are otherwise obscured by daily life." mmmmm it's just a painting. Like I said only the artist and the viewer can tell you what it means to them. Sorta like what you mentioned in one part. In other words art CAN help one individual see something in a different light. It's kind of like those splotch paintings where a creator just splatters paint on a canvas. I really really doubt they are defining the word "love" in a painting like that. I don't know if you guys have ever done splatter painting...I have. It's just that . Splatters in colors you choose splattering in on a big ol canvas. I wasn't like splatter! done. Okay this canvas is defining "war". No. It was a release. It was a pleasure to my eyes. Just mine. Who cares what anyone else thinks about it. Now, dearest Lera. I always read you threads because they contain thoughts far to intricate. I would get lost walking around in your brains. If I ever was in your brains ...I would just pretend I was makin spagetti instead of trying to understant you. THere. Now.... remove the fact that money can be involved, remove the fact that there are other deadly issues in the world like disease. There are many subjects, events, and activities on this earth. And that is just something you will have to accept. Okay? And this thing "art" is one of them. Maybe you are right. ANd maybe these art people make art to really avoid the worldly issues. Could be. But I think sometimes, artists forget their artistic purposes in just creating for their own peace of mind and get greedy. That is when money comes into place. And also remember that there are people so selfish, they ignore poverty, ignore disease, ignore BIG issues. And you can't ever ever change that. If you didn't create it, if you don't have the godly power involved, you can't cange it. Ever. No one can. Life really is as sad as accepting what it going on in it. I really think life is just whatever you accept of it and take. It's not beautiful. It can be AT TIMES. But not as a whole like Coldplay would like to have you believe. Unless you change everything that is wrong in the world ..that is as good as it gets. The end I hate how you make me think of these things, Lera! :bomb:

julieta venegas - eres para mi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWlHF1uljX0

ooooooooooooooooo like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hhm0NHhCBg

yeah yeah...the whole name thing.. it's like...save it for some other public appearance. OR a fuckin blog if he wants that line to be seen. But not a song. I mean, a song should show class and timelessness. But that, it's just shit empty lines.

what the fuck is bossa nova!? :bomb:

yeah. BSS is one thing, and Feist is another. And I know 'Monarch' mostly sucked. Just two or three good ones. But if I ever ever had my wish of seeing her play live i would want to hear "The Mast" off of that album. . . I would run upstage. Even if it was just that song. Loves it. God, I love that song. And if she could just, give me a private performance of 'Mushaboom', 'Let it Die', and 'Tout Doucement' ...I would die a very happy lady.

I have to fight against this one: 7. Oasis - 'Champagne Supernova' "Slowly walking down the hall/Faster than a cannonball/Where were you when we were getting high?" I always figured (and amongst loose conversations over the meaning of this song)...I figured it was a song about the effects of drugs or it mentioned that a bit. I mean, I thought it was like... first they start off walking slow and THEN faster than a cannonball. If you split them up sorta. Like the ups and downs of getting high. Prolly wrong, but that is what I thought. Anyway, most of them seemed to be horrible in that the writers don't know shit about creating a metaphor or a simile , for that matter. I remember in high school, some kids were just horrible at it and i never understood what was so difficult about making one. :wacko:

lucky monties... she is always there. :disappointed: I know she comes to the states and to Texas. But to big time concerts like ACL and Coachella ...venues my friends care nothing for :rolleyes: she rocks.
