For my English course this year I wrote an essay on the debate of fine art vs contemporary art and I haven't reread it since I sent it in I wanna see if I can find this shit cause I have no clue what I ended up stating as my opinion

#it was crazy how many people i mentioned it to immediately started shitting on contemporary art #like id explain what i meant by fine and contemporary art and the majority of people would instantly talk about how ridiculous #they thought contemporary art was and how it wasnt real art and shit #my english teacher told me i actually changed his mind about the subject and like ultimately all i did was fairly compare the two #i didnt favour either one i gave them both pretty much equal time i think lots of people just havent actually considered contemporary art #at any length before yk they just go well this is art cause its pretty and theyve painted a thing and i know what it is #and this is pretentious bullshit because i dont think its pretty and i cant tell what its supposed to be by looking at it #i went to a modern art museum recently with my family and there wasthis one exhibition that was an indoor garden thing #and they all kinda went whats the point of that its just plants it doesnt even make a picture and moved on pretty fast #but all the plants had little signs next to them explaining what they were and why they were significant and oh my god #it had a kind of motif of the hanging gardens of babylon but it was mostly about war specifically palestine and the effects the war has had #fuck man. i spent a solid hour in there that shit really fucked me up. i love art.#there was another room filled with traditional south american stuff i think it was?#there was this fascinating film and all these coolpaintings and models but there was also a tiny little boom you could read #and it was of mayan love charms and holy shit Tumblr wouldve loved those i think i have a picture of my favourite page #it was like 'i want to join myself to him. i want this man to be my other half'#mmmm. anyway #tag essay #i love love love talking about art i could sit and talk about art for literally hours #wet floor sign
