It's nice to get an art lesson once in the while.

Making marks on things that look like other things is indeed a very deep human need. Why, just look at all the doodling that takes place in exceptionally boring classes.

Not to mention that photography is a form of art in and of itself... sizes, positions, colors, angles, balances...

time to bust out the crayons and start drawing things on things that look like other things...

this explains a lot about why the walls in my house used to be covered in art done by children.

Yes, making marks on things that look like other things is one of my skills.
The only problem is the marks don't always look like the other things I wanted them to.

Makes me think about Magritte a bit. And also, a quotation from Paul Klé: "Art doesn't represent what's visible, it turns things visible".

Anyway, great strip, and I like the paintings in it too.

They're not paintings, they're scanned ink markings that have been converted into pixels arranged and designed to look like printed paintings with little fox children looking at them.

There is no spoon.

It's a nice strip but I must confess I never really liked paintings that showed things in a non-realistic way. Especially the kind of paintings (for example) where there's just three coloured stripes or blothces of spilled paint. I don't know what -ism they're forced under but I always like a painting better when it's drawn realistically.

Me, I just like it when it looks like something I couldn't do in 30 seconds.

The ones you could do in 30 seconds (for instance, a painting that's completely blue, although that would probably take you longer than that) were actually more about the message at the time. Someone who does one now, I won't admire, but at the time it was original and definitely bold to do that. There was a statement in there, although I'm not completely sure to know which one it was :p. I'm also wondering if the "ism" might have been nihilism?

Anyway, I've studied abstract painting, the one that are completely abstract and you can't see anything that exists in real life, and it seems there is a code in them, too. Different symbols to express different emotions, plus the use of colour. I won't say I remember a lot of what I was taught about it, but it seems that there is more to it than you could think at first.
