nigel99 143 #1 May 29, 2009 Browsing the work of a famous "artist" this is one of their works. Firstly can anyone name the artist? Secondly do you think I am pulling your leg and this is a drawing of mom by a 5 year old kid?Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

nigel99 143 #3 May 29, 2009 yeah - I am pretty amazed at the "standard" of this persons work. I am pretty sure that regurgitating this shit does not take artistic talent - however I would employ her as a sales marketing person any time cause she could obviously sell sand to an arab.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

Secondly do you think I am pulling your leg and this is a drawing of mom by a 5 year old kid? That would be pretty exceptional for a five year old. It reminds me of an art assignment I had in high school for which we had to draw an object in ~5 minutes, but were not allowed to look at or lift our pencils from the paper. Only those with natural artistic talent were able to obtain results that remotely resembled the object we were supposed to be drawing.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

squiffy 2 #5 May 29, 2009 Tracey Emin and I think her work is s**t - she is so far up her own arse that you can only see the soles of her feet! At least the 'tent' was destoryed by fire Ashley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,116 #6 May 29, 2009 Ah yes -- contour drawing Looking at the picture, it's trying to make a statement that I don't think I'm interested in hearing, but the proportions are there, and the muscle tension apparent in the pose is just right. To me, it's art that I'm not interested in. Kind of like Jackson Pollock. Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I am obviously not an art buff as from the other posts (Wendy and Chris) I didn't know that people would intentionally inhibit themselves - such as drawing something without looking at it).Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

squiffy 2 #8 May 29, 2009 My Mum is an artist - so I have become an art buff by osmosis! Also - you gave it away by mentioning it was a 'her' - I was thinking it wasa 'working out' sketch by Francis Bacon. And you are right - it was done by a 5 year old!

Funny, when I saw the title of this thread, I wondered if it was going to be about Jackson Pollock. But when I clicked on the picture, I had no idea who the artist was. And I'll agree that it's art that I'm not interested in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could remember the assignment (actually a series of them), but not the name. Art was never my best subject in school. Unfortunately, since my older brother is a naturally talented artist, it always seemed like my art teachers, who all remembered him from two years previous, were disappointed that I didn't share his talent.Math tutoring available.
