Art that has "the spark" Anonymous Mon Aug 8 07:37:18 2016 No.2631387 [Reply] [Original]

Let's make a real inspiration thread where idea or emotion is more important than technical skill. Surely y'all have at least one image that has 'the spark', so don't be a selfish faggot and share the experience.

I'm becoming more and more enamored by well executed perspective in art, it really works to get across the grandeur of the message. Personally I find it very hard to master as well.

Now these obviously do take skill, but I guess what makes them interesting isn't primarily the flaunting of exceptional and realistic rendering abilities but more a design sense or ability to convey a certain atmosphere. That's what you're on about OP, right?

I don't want to be an ass but why doesn't more people post stuff from established professionals instead of amateur/semi-pro if it's a "spark" thread ? I ask because maybe I don't fully understand what "spark" really means.

Because people are amateurs and don't know what defines great and inspirational art. They are at the level where they think their favorite deviantart/internet artist is the height of it all. Old masters, traditional pieces, and technical pieces are too boring for them and too archaic. Little digital cartoons are what's "in". Easy to process, easy to master. They are too afraid to try to compare to a Bouguereau or even a Moebius. Learning from them seems daunting and unrealistic based on their current skill so they default to something such as the former. They're hobbyists at most.

Not every thread, where you dump art is about the most technical proficient masterworks in history.
And especially when it is about invoking emotions, it is a very subjective judgement.

Also, what are diverse interests?

It's a good, clean drawing, unusually dynamic for a headshot, nice shapework and it does a good job of delivering the techno/street vibe (don't really know what to call it) of the show.
Still though, the stylization is not exactly my cup of tea and I think the anon who posted it might be better suited for defending it, since they actually liked it enough to post, I didn't.
That being said, I don't think they'd need to defend it anyhow, if they are genuinly inspired by it or like it enough it meets the terms to post it ITT.

The backgrounds of that show are really neat btw, I like them a lot more than the character designs, pic related.

This nigga gets it.
imo the spark means a rare piece, originality that stands out subconsciously. The author deliberately conveys an idea or emotion other than "man this shit is good". Let's face it, despite godly technical skill subject matter or style doesn't have a lot of variety among the old maters.

Old masters far outshines most modern works in technique, aesthetic judgement, and intellectual rigor. Almost all modern works have to rely on spectacles or strangeness to set themselves apart because they can't compete with their skill and spirit alone, and confuse inner spark for show. That's why you hear so much about artists trying to "find their style."

>Also, what are diverse interests?
The result of someone who doesn't know themselves. Any of the greatest artists were the most judgmental, and judgment being the action of filtering what is good and what is bad necessarily will not excuse something simply because of "interests" or "taste."

It is one thing to decide for yourself what you like and not and what your set of values for successful art is.
It's another to think this is the only way to look at art (we're talking "art" here, this is actually too broad a subject to not have controversies about). And to cast people with different priorities as "amateurs"?
Alright, by that you probably mean amateur in the sense of art appreciation because surely you can't mean getting paid in an art related field.
You said it yourself, easy to process products are in. Subsequently, if you have hopes of making it in an art related career, it actually makes sense to look that way, does it not?
Plus in these fast fast-paced times I think it IS unrealistic to set your own standard to say Bouguereau.

And again, this thread is not about technical mastery anyways, so pieces of art or any scribbles or whatever you want to call it which "rely on spectacles or strangeness", fit the bill of this thread just fine.

I'm actually a different anon than the one who mentioned amateurs, but even then, there isn't anything fundamentally wrong with using the term although it might upset some. Being insensitive doesn't make a statement wrong.

No one is really arguing for technical skills alone, especially when I have mentioned spirit. The problem arises with the definitions of such things as "spark" themselves. It's true that there are certain qualities that add value to works and set them apart which are normally outside the scope of technical mastery or even of explaining it in technical terms. But from that people confound that they must artificially rely on striking effects or try to be as different from the rest (some even will think themselves to possess genius and completely disregard technique).

Spectacles and strangeness are not synonymous with genuine spark. It's what artists of lower merits rely on in place of it. Again, it's why we hear so much about artists "trying to find their style," and why, ironically, these end up making their technique and style even more noticeable, which is to say, the primary effect or point of remark of their works is the way they were done or other such show. These are very often works that have low re-view value. I suppose in that sense you could say they have spark; which like the spark, it shows brilliancy for a brief moment and is gone.

No, but being condescending also doesn't help in creating sympathy for your viewpoint.

>The problem arises with the definitions of such things as "spark" themselves.
True. In the context of this thread, I think it means something that intrigues you somehow about a piece, you wouldn't even have to really like the image as a whole, it's enough to find one golden brick in a grey brick wall.

What you are adressing is I guess the problem of trying to be original and different but at the same time not sliding into abusing gimmicks to achieve that or being impatient and trying to force something unique for the sake of it instead of letting it develop over time.
A quote from Yves Saint Laurent comes to mind: "Fashions fade, style is eternal."
Would this apply here?
