There is no shortcut to art, but that’s part of why it is so valuable to society and so rewarding to create.
But don’t let that discourage you. If you want to make your own art, keep working at it. You will always get better with time and practice. It takes a long time and even the best artists frequently feel like their work isn’t good enough. But dedication and practice will pay off in time.
- jstanley 6mo agoThat fact that something is hard to do is not what makes it valuable. It's hard to dig really big holes in the ground all day at random, but it's not valuable.
- chaps 6mo agoSpeak for yourself, big-holes-in-ground are very valuable to me.
- bluefirebrand 6mo ago> It's hard to dig really big holes in the ground all day at random, but it's not valuable Don't mistake "it takes a lot of effort" with "it is hard" Digging holes isn't hard, it just takes a lot of effort
- rdevilla 6mo agoMarx begs to differ. By labor theory of value Sisyphus should be the wealthiest man on Earth; unless you smuggle all the complexity and paradoxes of this theory into some ill-defined notion of "socially useful labour" (how does one measure or quantify utility?) of course...
- neilcj 6mo agoMarx's labor theory of value very much still assumes a product of that labor to embody its value.
