Because of this we are producing a generation of crap. Most artists are graduating with minimal skill and an unformed imagination. People who want to be taught the skills to create fine art shouldn't go to an art school but a trades school! sloppy craft is being taught in schools and celebrated.

I'm still somewhat behind and foggy from the various medical stuff, but hope to be more responsive on A&P soon. I am putting up my latest panorama on southeastmain -- this week is the week. How could you help but be opinionated about Arthur Danto -- he loves it so (opinionated opinions, I mean).

For some reason I was unable to pay it sufficient attention when submitted. Did catch the link to Arthur Danto and immediately became opinionated about his thesis. More on this. June:

It may indeed be in the terminology: we have “slip-shod”, “slap happy”, “slob”, “sloppy”. So in craft it may be a choice: excel or “S-L”.

I think the analogy to the sloppy impressionists is a good one.

Does anyone care? I want my pieces to last so I take as much care as I can to make them sturdy and well-constructed. Loose but tight, sort of. But craft means something as a word, so is it crafted or ... What about all the "sloppy" paintings that started with impressionism and are not done yet? Numerous famous artists threw out fineness a long time ago and we are used to it now. The digital age makes things too precise..some of us are going analog with our art, so to speak!

We've been looking at "perfect" art for so long and there are so many beautiful and thought provoking art out there that is "imperfect" to the snobs eye and beautiful to us regular folks. I find that I am more creative when I can just work and not try to be so perfect and the results are much better and the journey is more fun. Sloppy craft rocks!
