My Message to You Fellow Fella's

The art of painting is overlooked. It is too easy to simply go to a museum, glare at a painting and say "that's nice" and move on to the next. We live in a world where in order to capture a sight, all we have to do is click a button on a camera and move on. We live life like we are in a museum. We glare at something, say how nice it is, snap a picture, and progress. Photography is art, but only in certain ways. If there is no passion in it, it is not art. Photography simply depicts what is seen by everyone. Painting, drawing, and sculpture are different, however. It is not what is seen by everyone. The way an artist creates a painting, or creates any form of artwork is through there own senses. Only you can see what you are seeing, only you can feel, taste, hear, and smell what you are experiencing.  An artist incorporates all these senses into one compact piece. This is the problem with the way things are today. Snapping a photo is merely a 2 dimensional image of what has been seen by so many others already. We have designated photo spots, but what is the point? To experience something the same way so many other people have before? To stop, say "that's nice", and move on? What about actually absorbing the world we live on. feeling it, admiring it, and experiencing it through our own senses. I encourage people to actually stop and enjoy the art around them, admire it, and become fascinated.
