Through One's Eyes

Through One's Eyes

I have started this new thread for others to share and enjoy The World of Art. The title is a reflection on the many different views and ways of seeing art that is very subjective to the viewer.

Anyone can share a piece they have produced, are working on or would like to one day 'get around to doing'.

Many 'forumites' use art as a form of therapy or grounding/coping strategies - so please also share your experiences of these also.

It is also a place to discuss what people like, dislike are drawn to and the feelings ellicited from producing and viewing any pieces.

Feel free to add images or topics of discussion and enjoy the wonderful world that we can share through Art.

Re: Through One's Eyes

That’s how it was fo me @Appleblossom, learning about the person and their life, their thoughts, their creative process.

I began by sort-of ordering some of their works from their realism stage (most abstract artists are very good at realism and Impressionism), and then walking through the stages where they move through experimentation to arrive at their “new style”. I was surprised to find Picasso using a naive style in later years than his intense cubist work, suggesting that he didn’t discard any of his prior styles or learning, he just chose to keep reproducing the abstract style he was most comfortable with under different circumstances .....

This was from a trip to the Mediterranean, for instance -

Re: Through One's Eyes

Why do you feel that way @Former-Member? I have always found you to be smart and articulate

Re: Through One's Eyes

There are some I am not up on either @Former-Member - I tend to stick more with the images I like and know the periods they come from through thr artists that really resonate with me. I think we are all going to get an education following @Faith-and-Hope's art studies lol

I am doing ok tonight but think it will be an early night for me. How are you tonight @Former-Member and @Adge?

Re: Through One's Eyes

I liked your post @Former-Member because I am not creative or very cultured myself.

Re: Through One's Eyes

Just go exploring @Former-Member .... choose art images that you like and just enjoy them. Little by little they become familiar and information about this field starts to stick. All I know about nursing has been through my family’s medical dramas ..... and I am a real novice with tech stuff ..... gonna learn something about that in this course too .....

Have some fun exploring @Former-Member 😊

Re: Through One's Eyes

Thats good then @Adge, kindred spirits again. Nice to hear someone gets too tired to even write sometimes too, like me, concenteation really. I've been up since 3:30am & had broken sleep so very very tired here tonight with you.
Lets pretend a cyber snuggle in front of an open fore and a good
movie together. Nodd off to sleep if we need too 😳💤
