Art and feelings

For me, I dont waste time anymore with any art, movies, music, books etc... that dont have emotions and feelings running through them. I just dont even bother if they dont have it.

I dont think there is a better feeling than being able to feel that a guitar melody, or a quote in a book or a piece of artwork describes your current feelings.

even more, to be able to convey feelings and emotions in a society that is void of reality is something special. I treasure those moments. Reading a book, listening to a band, watching a movie, and the creator of the art makes me feel something, anything. whether that is feelings of joy, sadness, or anything in between.

I have the utmost respect for anyone out there doing stuff like this, making art, not for profit, but for arts sake. making art because they feel somethign and want to express it.

those are special moments

    The way I see it is that there is no art that doesn't evoke those kind of feelings. That stuff is not art. Music, books, films, visual art that don't affect me emotionally in some way are not really fulfilling the purpose of art.

    How do you know certain works won't have emotions running through them? Isn't that something you only know after you have read, watched or listened?

    I know I should be in a thread like this. I'll come back when I have anything to say. I am artfully bored.

    The tree needs a happy little friend. :)

    I'm glad there's not a 'one post only' quota on this thread, that one was useless... :p

    Seriously, I want to say something in this thread but maybe I'll wait until somebody says something interesting that I can bounce off of....... or until Bob Ross shows up.

    Anything that makes you feel anything is art.

    You should enter the scribblings anyway. I mean, considering what's won the Turner Prize before... :p

    I might do ;) He's got kind of a Monet thing going on at the moment. Lots of flowers and things. He's obviously entering his impressionist period :D

    Artistic ppl are insane for the most part.
    Some are not as deeply obsessed with their craft as others.
    All quality artistic expression bleeds something, somewhere with someone.
    I love the way artsy people think.
    Artsy-craftsy people can move the universe for others, including themselves.
    To dwell in one's craft can only be described heavenly brutal.
    For myself personally, I write and paint.
    Those are the expressive/creative arts I do.
    Although I haven't painted in over a year, I do love it so.
    Painting got me off of a hard-core drug back in the day.
    It is soothing rehabilitation for the mind and soul.
    I do know that alot of people do not understand artistic people.
    My mind searches on its own every moment of everyday for the greatest written piece of poetry none to mankind.
    Why do I do that?
    Because artists are in a never-ending searched feeling for their next masterpiece.
    Experiences are craved like heroin, they crave new ideas, new views, new people and cultures.
    An artist must be a traveler...IMO
    For sure a writer must be a traveler..it is only the way of the mountain which remains tall, still, solid, and silent that can move stars..or is it?
    (i have no idea what that means,,,it just came out)

    Chad, a question for you...or for anyone that matter....

    Do you think that being an artist/writer gives you more or less of an appreciation of other work? Cos you understand the blood, sweat and tears so to speak, that may have gone into it?....


    I am not very creative really, I wish I was, but I was wondering if it altered the views that you take on other peoples creativity...

    oh for sure i understand why what's his nuts cut off his artistic ear for some chic..not that it is the best way, the right way, or whatever way it is..
    i can feel his overflowing passion..

    art truly causes pain, even pain can be beautiful..
    the painter of a meadow filled with wild flowers,,,crys at his/her creation..
    they just poured their heart out onto a canvas..
    emotions are filled with every paint-brush stroke..
    same as any art, sewing a quilt...composing music..
    they all have intent to be delivered to whomever..
    everyone has the chance to see/feel art as how they choose to see/feel it.

    Why is it, do you think that art causes pain?
    And why are so many artists fucked up in one way or another? (Not all)
    Is it the pain that causes the art? Or the art that causes the pain?


    I'm just trying to grasp what artistic people feel like and what makes them create...
    Is it some kind of fulfilment that they're seeking? Or an irresistable urge they can't fight? Or both?

    you are hilarious,,
    like i have all the answers..:D
    i do not..

    art is emotional emotions from some kind of
    heart felt stuff..
    pretty easy to comprehend that, right?
    ask Fins the carrot dude what's up with it all
    he can tell you a few things
    ask cate-ster what happenin in her views of art..
    artistic ppl feel good at what they are doing
    it is overwhelming 24x7 for most of them i am sure of that

    an example,..do you think Edward Vedder sleeps alot?
    i am guessing he does not
    i never slept with the fucker
    so i have no clue
    but i would assume he is awake
    working on the musical artistic expressions he is obsessed with
    he can not help himself only the art can help him be..
    this is just my opinion...i could be off track.. :)

    Sorry Chad, I didn't mean to pick on you :o
    Just trying to get some ideas is all.... I hope others can help me to answer these questions too.

    Of course, I know its just your opinion and others will have theirs. I'm just trying to broaden my horizons :)
