Rhiann asked:


have an Art history assignment where we are given the task of planning a Art trip to a city of the professor’s choice. I got New York but with a catch. The catch is the art has to be from 1800’s and before. I love contemporary art so this a bit hard. What makes it worse, is I have never been to New York so I do not know where to start.

What is the easiest form of art to start with for a beginner?

October 30th, 2009

Ginger asked:


I think I’ve heard watercolors. I want to learn on my own. Do you recommend getting an art kit and learning on your own, without having to follow much written instruction? What would you suggest drawing or painting for a beginner? I want to do the best form of art for a beginner, so that it looks good, not like a little kid’s art work. Thx!

Where and how can I get performance art grants?

October 30th, 2009
art
hereticjack asked:


And no I’m not gonna just sit on a stool and watch fox news all day and call it art. I have an piece thats very physically and mentally demanding and will take atleast 6 months to a year. But the finished product (I think) would be both entertaining and carry a powerful message about our society.

But I’m not schooled in the arts, and I’m not a part of any performance art scene. So I have no idea where to look and how to submit a grant proposals. (I can figure out the ladder on my own)

If anyone have any intel on this subject or has a personal experience you would like to share please do. I appreciate any help I can get on this.

What is considered good art and by whose standards?

October 30th, 2009
art
orchidmg asked:


I am doing a study of “Faith and Reason” written by Pope John Paul II. Tonight we were talking about objectivity and subjectivity. Art was the example used to discuss one’s own perception of good art and bad art and the universal perception of it. I am confused by the subject of art. I personally think good and bad art is subject to one’s own personal opinion.

Can anyone explain to me what is ‘good art’? Like Michelango, Picaso & Van Gogh versus modern art? And by whose standards is ‘good art’ classified as such?

I’ve never taken an art class, I only draw privately once in a while but I don’t consider myself an artist. What books or websites can I go to to learn about art?

Peter S asked:


I have a PDF which is set up and formatted for printing in a printing office, i.e. pages are sort of placed in the order as if it is to be bound as a book.

I need to print the pdf on a regular printer, is there any way of doing this and getting correct results in terms of page ordering?

What martial art do you believe works best in real life situations?

October 30th, 2009
art
some guy asked:


There is no best art, only a practitioner, every one has their preferences.SO what martial art do you find works best for YOU? If you cross train please tell me what combination of arts you think work best for you. Please only people who train in arts, not a person behind the computer saying muay thai, BJJ, and wrestling because it works in the UFC. Thanks.
clowns you contribute alot to Y!A MA community but are you sure you practice Tae Kwan Do? you seemed to have spelled it wrong, or is it a typo?
Edit: clowns I am an on and off martial artist some martial arts I have taken a few classes in but can’t say are my arts are Kyokushin karate, Tae kwan do, and Judo. I have trained for 1 and 3/4 year muay thai 1/2 year mma, and 2 months bjj. I also took Krav Maga for 3 months but you can say I don’t have that much experiene compared to others on th MA Y!A board.
Oops meant to say experience*

Skyezlymet asked:


Isn’t altered art the same as recycled art because you are taking something that exsits for another purpose and making it into new art?

Matt W asked:


I’m a college student and my school doesnt have a very big art department. I used to take art classes but I dont have any this semester. I really love art and I need a resource(preferably a website) that lets me in on whats going on in the art world. I wanted to get a subscription to ARTnews, but I cant afford it right now. I am past magazine websites and some museum websites dont really help. Also, library access is kinda difficult. Anyone know any good websites or tips?

What makes a work of art (painting, music, film, sculpture, literature, or whatever) a good one?

October 30th, 2009
art
Jack Mehoffer asked:


Are there conditions such that any work of art (of that kind) that meets them will be a good one, and any work of art that does not meet them is not a good one? Why or why not? If you think there are such conditions, what do you think they are? Why? Are the conditions different for each of the different kinds of art forms, or are there some criteria common to all good works of art, no matter what kind of art they are?
