I think some of the most beautiful art .were prehistoric cave paintings.......the only school the folks had were their eyes and years of watching the world around them.
Artist background vs naturals...

Yes I am. I am assigned to USASOC. Are you?

This is exactly the type of advantage I was talking about. I think I should take some art classes. Maybe just to test it out and give some feedback on this topic in the future... see how it turns out for me (or my minis).

You know the old argument we had where we all gassed on about miniature painting as art...and we kind of came to a slight overall agreement that it probably wasn\'t art? I was thinking. If a fella like Damien Hirst painted a copy of The Thinker in a way that made it look even more 3D than just the sculpture, would that be art? Opinion-wise of course, as none of us could answer definitively, I\'m sure.

Quote Dragonsreach~ \"Did art for 4 years at school........Can\'t say I learned anything because it was the 60\'s and lessons were \"Unstructured!\" \"
lol I take it it\'s along the lines of \"Get your paper here, pens there...Now draw something!\"
As for Damien Hirst, he wouldn\'t know creative talent if it booted him in the nuts!
Perhaps a personal view - but I quite honestly think theres a kneehigh crayola scrawling on someones wallpaper now thats sheer inspired genius compared to, oh say , a sheep suspended in Formaldehide. Thats not art for god\'s sake! It\'s a lab specimen!

I graduated from art school and have worked for 10 years as a storyboard artist. I work for the film industry from time to time as well. I also paint, sculpt, draw comics, kitbash, and, of course, paint minis. I had a natural talent for art as a child but have been professionally trained (art school and the school of hard knocks).
Seems like this thread should have included a poll. Might have given a guess as to the percentage of trained and non-trained. Just a thought. :idea:

I agree a poll would be pretty interesting given the nature of the topic and site
Good thinking man!

Not anymore. Did some time in the eighty-deuce. I was in 4/325AIR. They were de-commed while I was there then became the 3/325 when Vicenza became Geronimo 509th. USASOC huh. You in group? I served in 3rd Ranger Batt. as well.
In order to avoid criticism I will answer the original question: I had 6 classes in art during my High School years. Didn\'t help a bit with my understanding of art in general. What understanding I have was due to interest and autodidactic efforts. My whole opinion on art is thus:
I think anything can be Art; who am I to judge: as long as it\'s not funded by my tax dollars. When my tax money goes to crucifixes submerged in urine then it\'s righteous Judgement Day on the pinko parasites.
