    Is Contemporary Art Good or Bad?

    See, my problem isn't with the production of Modern art - people can do whatever they want with their time - but the fact that it is regarded on the same levels as the Old Masters. Frida Kahlo, Cezanne, and Picasso were all painters who started off with high expectations and started of with a...

    Is Contemporary Art Good or Bad?

    Dang, I did not expect an art debate to get such...invigorated responses. There is not much else for me to say on the subject. I can truly do little else to defend my beliefs. Between the replies and the Yeah!'s in this thread, I have no supporters whit my stance. I think this is a matter of...

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    I wasn't expecting so many paragraphs on a thread about art tbh, nor I did expect it to be so one-sided. It's almost like when I read YouTube comments that debate over the weirdest things, except I started the debate and it's not on YouTube. I'm never converting back to Modernism. Worst 14 years...

    Is Contemporary Art Good or Bad?

    I knew I'd be in the minority here but I wasn't expecting this. I wish I was more qualified to make more appropriate responses to your post. Before I get on with all I would like to say, I noticed that the three of you all mentioned Picasso as being a great painter, though he really wasn't...

    Is Contemporary Art Good or Bad?

    Okay, so this thread was pretty much inevitable for me, though hesitation and uneasiness has gotten the better of me. I have been independently studying art and art history since the beginning of this year like it was a New Year's resolution. In that time I discovered artistic giants like...

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    William Bouguereau is one of history's greatest painters. Such a shame the Modernists faded him into obscurity for almost a century before he was recently rediscovered. Even then, I'm not sure how any people know the Master that well.

    Ocarina of Time Anyone Else Not Annoyed by Navi?

    I didn't find Navi to be annoying. Navi was useful for enemy bios and her only fault that I care for is that she always reminds me what I'm supposed to be doing. This is somewhat annoying as I am usually trying to find goodies or complete sidequests. I never really thought of Navi as much of a...

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    Something about school today felt off. The atmosphere itself made me feel sick from 3rd-6th period. If only I could figure out what made me so uncomfortable so I could know how to fix it. Also, I'm going to go to the library more often. I very recently renewed my love for books that died died...

    Favorite Character Archetype?

    There are tons of personalities that can be given to characters in stories. There's the creepy, but epic yandere archetype from various anime, the generically overpowered villain that everyone loves, the loving motherly characters, and lots more. What is your favorite? I really like...

    What is Your Current Music Obsession?

    I'm really feeling classical music right now. Lyrics just seem to be getting in the way of my thinking nowadays, even from my favorite contemporary artists. Plus, I often tend to feel quite, uh, invigorated when dubstep and film scores play on Pandora, which ruins my focus. So, yeah, all the...

    I had to write up an essay today for English and I was so nervous because I had to type it instead of using my penmanship skills. Then I noticed on of the articles was on Benjamin Franklin and I was immediately calmed after imagining him topless. Also, this post is on page 911.

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    SO there's this field of study called medical illustration that intrigues me. You pretty much get to study human anatomy with the power of drawing, painting, and sculpture. In other words, it's all my hobbies bundled into a nice package. The only problem - if you could call it a problem - is...

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    My great-grandpa died in his sleep sometime last night at the advanced age of 84. I'm not upset because I didn't really know him that well and he just called "that boy." But I do feel sorry for his 30-something year old girlfriend who now has no one to love. He was a true player til the end. RIP

    It took me seven hours, but I finally got Leonardo da Vinci face for my iPad's wallpaper! On a completely unrelated note, I am debating whether I should go to bed now or to keep fighting my feelings of lethargy. I'm also hoping to be able to access one of the several library apps on my iPad...

    What Did You Do Today/What Are You Currently Doing?

    All AP World History students got a district-funded iPad today, me included, but I have no clue what to do with mine. I was going to download the Internet Archive app so I could read ebooks at school, but I can't seem so for security reasons. Since that was the only foreseeable use I had for the...

    What Can You Just Not Handle Anymore?

    People glorifying contemporary art when it can barely even be considered art. I would go on, but writing 170-paragraph long rants makes me feel worse than better about my opinion.

    General Zelda Link As Royalty?

    As cool of an idea I think this is, I am not certain it would ever happen on a larger scale that it already has. Link is meant to form connection between the player and the game. In other words, he has to appeal to the average Joe or Jane. Royalty does not conform to said belief. Having Link...

    Which Games Do You Have Intentions on Completing, but Never Do?

    I've done this with Twilight Princess and Super Mario Bros 3. I remember getting a couple dungeons into TP in my first run, then started over after months of not playing. I made it into Arbiter's Grounds, maybe a room away from the miniboss, saved, pressed the power button on my GC, and haven't...

    Fine, I'll be more active. :rolleyes: Are you trying to claim as Link here (the mentioning of courage is the only form of hinting I found), the supposed Vig? I guess that would explain why you would are stressing to at least wait another night. You could get in one final kill before being lynched.

    Super Smash Mafia - Game Thread

    I can assure you that I am not scum. My inactivity is always a part of how I play Mafia. Just that isn't enough to be suspicious of me. As for my overall jumpiness in posts, well, I actually can't defend myself there with anything other than I am inexperienced. And like I said earlier, your RB...

    Debating whether I should read works from Plato, Herodotus, or Hippocrates. Other than the genre, I have very little knowledge about their ancient texts, so I don't know which ones I will find to be the most interesting. On another note, I'm wondering what I should sketch next out of Leonardo's...

    What Do You Guys Like to Do for Fun Outside of Music, TV, Video Games, and Internet?

    I draw a ton and study art history as much as I can, especially on Leonardo da Vinci. I also enjoy reading books, though the frequency in which I read jumps around due to my inability to understand and remember text without taking notes, and tons of them. This means I write by extension, but I...
