What makes a piece good is not how much time you've put into it, it's just how good it came out. That's all.

That's just plain sickening.
Lack of a better computer(but thats changing SInce i just bought a new one)
And its about effort not time
Agree'd. So if I use tons of brushes, and some cool 3d renders, and slap them together and it looks awsome...I get all the credit? Just because it looks good doesn't mean its that good.Quote:

Let alone, you can always just manipulate a downloaded photo to look shiny in about five minutes. That doesn't make it good; perhaps eye-catching, but there was no effort involved if you didn't spend at least an hour or two on something.
Art is a process, not a product.
Agreed. Its about the effort. These days you can have nice outcomes with a couple clicks, but thats not art (yes, in this case we can define what art is a tiny bit). Though, of course, the stuff that is truly amazing still takes a ton of time.

So how many clicks does it take before it's considered "real art" or how many minute/hours before it's considered "real art"?
I'll give one clue:Quote:

It's equivelant to the amount of licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.
Its art, theres no real set number obviously. Hopefully you can agree with my point though because in some 3d programs now for example, especially when paired with some renderers, one can click the scene 5 times and then turn on some really nifty settings in the renderer in about 15 seconds by checking a few boxes, and theres a photorealistic outcome.Quote:

Thats a very tough question to answer because doing so would be setting huge limits on what art is. I also set limits on what art is, but in my opinion they were much more subtle limitations and I have clear reasoning for why they're there. When doing art, a person has to work at it. They have to really challenge themselves to be actually worthy of calling themselves artists. It isn't right to say that somebody that clicks the screen a couple times and comes up with something amazing solely due to the software an artist because that makes everyone an artist and in turn, nobody an artist. Art really is, when you get down to it, expression of self. Now I suppose if someone can really express themselves with a couple clicks, that clearly is lacking in effort, but if they do it with the focus on style, then we can say its art. Minimalism is afterall a type of art. De Stijl is built around simplicity. Famous paintings by Mondrian in that style took little effort, but there was a lot of style in it. He painted things with red, yellow, blue, black and white. He made everything from horizontal and vertical lines. Not to go all art critic on you guys, but in doing so, he was expressing the organization and harmony in nature and in the universe.
Again, difficult to say how many clicks it takes before one can call something art, but I dont think it has to be defined by a number of clicks or by the time spent. I think its more about something that we can't really gauge. Its more about the thought that went into it. If a person thought for hours about something, and made it in 10 seconds, I'd call that art. Likewise, if a person spent hours on the making of a piece, they'd be thinking about the process the whole time. So, either way they acheive the same thing, the only real difference being at which point the thought was put in.
100% true man! You should write for the CX'zine also!
