I just wanted to let off some steam about how much I dislike this new style of art where an artist with some time on there hands has painted a couple of strokes onto a canvas and thought "ooh...that looks less white now...I think I will try and sell it for a few thousand..."
No.
I am in my second year of an Art GCSE, and the beginning of my terms have almost always started off with an inspirational trip... for example, this January I went to Oxford to the Ashmolean and that was amazing pieces of artwork that someone had clearly worked for days and days on...
However, last year I went on a trip to the Liverpool Tate, and some of it was genuinely amazing and inspiring, but on a canvas in the middle of a blank room was a blue square. Just a blue square...and I thought to myself... oh dear... I have walked into the Dulux paint tester factory...
I hadn't.
So to quickly round this off...modern 'art' makes me angry and annoyed that the artists who put so much effort into their work are downgraded because of random artists that splatter a bit of paint onto a blank canvas.....
*sigh* well until next time....
