This was such a good reminder, thank you! I think I've read about this during my studies 10+ years ago, but it's so helpful and relevant now when asking myself "What am I trying to say with my art?" I need to give this some more thought...
Definitely bits of all of us in all of these. I think that if you want to capture something exactly, then take a photo, but I use Imitationalism (what a word!) because mimicking life or others art helps me develop my skills. But I always try to think, what am I trying to capture while doing this art? What emotional response am I trying to evoke? What feeling? What attributes? A fun way to think about our arting. Thanks so much. Enjoy your week! 🤗🤗
