This comment made me laugh out loud. Thanks.

HAHAHAHA this joke hit me hard 🙌

the last one makes me think, what the hell really is art? isn't that just math at that point?

Does he ever change his mind?

Hi

Cool idea

I second this for SURE!

Pink Floyd album art is cool to me

Chocolate Shake Duran Duran rio album

Do this Peter!

Cynthia Stepp Lol I noticed that too :D

Me too. I had to think he said it on purpose. So, I'm going to think that he did. Lol

I was wondering if that was intentional lol

also noticed that hahaha

=)

Ikr?!

His hair is just like that. How can he drop a tutorial?

@@lemonchicken507 Yeah I don't do anything to it besides take showers sometimes

@@peter_draws Nice, I'll try that.

I think that’s called outta bed and hit the ground running. Lol.

I'm thinking the same thing. I just recently found Peter and have been bingeing on his videos, but in a random order. It's interesting to go from long hair to short hair, back to long, then somewhere in between. Love his videos though. Almost in a Bob Ross kind of way.

The problem is, that he doesn't talk about (fine) art, he talks about his personal taste. Often saying that things are pretty or cool or making him happy. That's not what fine art is about. Fine art isn't entertainment or aims to give people something pretty to look at. Design and illustration are about being pretty and cool. Fine art, on the other hand, was, beginning with the modern area, often hated, seen as the ugliest thing out there and not appreciated much outside the art world. Fine art is about context and artistic discourse and relations of the work to other works. So when he says "after the artist puts it out there, you can think it means what ever you want" that couldn't be further from the concept of fine art. It's ok if he thinks like that about his own works, but not about works of other artists that clearly had a very strong sense of what they put in their works. His approach is more Bob Ross kind of approach towards pretty art - which is also out there, but fine art is something different. Maybe he should have shown pretty art instead.

​@@OlivioSarikas Indeed, and that is why a lot of people began to reject the idea of purist fine art in which the artist controls it's value and meaning. There is no confusion about what fine art is attempting to do, which is to standardize beauty as it has done for thousands of years OUTSIDE of the minds of the average viewer, and in the context of art movements, reactions to other movements, the artists intentions, etc.. I can't speak for peter, but the reason a large majority of artists are now REJECTING that idea in the face of post-postmodernism, (and lets not forget that these movements are subject to change based on these rejections, they are not static within the art world but are dictated by movements just as anything else) is simply because it's an outmoded concept. I encourage you to read more about it, as there is abundant literature out there on why the meaning of art can shift. It is by no means a sophomoric or naive idea to reject the artist's interpretation of a work, and to say that it's meaning is intrinsically tied to the artist themselves. In other words, that the feelings which the artist gets from their artwork is by nature UNREPLICATABLE in their viewers. I think you'll find that most working fine artists today encourage such behavior as a sign of a healthy fine art community. I think implying these ideas as being a set of some lower form of artistic philosophy akin to Bob Ross doesn't really represent how the majority of contemporary artists see things.

John R - you two are the absolute epitome of art snobs. Artists don’t control the meaning of their work. Period.

@@adamwest8711 Ya das what I said man :D

John R - I know man, but you obliquely dissed the Ross and I love that guy. 😆

The hippy version of Bob Ross,

@@kiakaha110 Bob Ross is a classy hippie already lol

@@leighakymberlynn2264 my old man met Bob Ross in a bar and he said ross pit in in his face so my old man knocked his old azz out

He reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite more than Bob Ross

dang, i did NOT see that. ugh. oh noes.

Stop reading something into something that isn't there. Besides, that was his left hand.

Including turning back to the teacher and ending on 'I like it a lot. I do.' with your hand across the body on your other arm

Reminds me of a ship in the ocean in ruff seas

this part needs to in like a "Best of PeterDraws"

hes so animated and soothing he needs a show on PBS or like a saturday morning tv show

Not entirely accurate, look at hironemous Bosch. It may not be explicitly non representational like minimalism, but it was graphic and abstract paintings of what was at the time disturbing Catholic imagery. Look possibly at the garden of earthly delights, especially the panel of hell for some freaky animal hybrids and flying ears all over the place torturing new souls.

I think abstract art is also a nice way for people to express themselves but do not have full control over their skill. Hyperrealism demands way more skill than anything abstract.

@@Pituzer See that is the age old debate. Does it take more skill to replicate reality with intricate precision? Or, to make something formless truly powerful, beautiful, and interesting? Plenty of abstract artists started in realism, then progressed.

@@joshtrue6521 I wouldn't call Bosch abstract at all. It's surreal sure enough.

@@gregorysgarrison that's not a question of "what takes more skill", because the answer is obviously that they both require an entirely different type of skill. They can not directly be compared, but one thing is for sure: skill in painting realism can not be faked, and you can't accidentally paint a very good hyperrealistic painting.

Yeah, I'm not too good at ranking things either.

Yeah faces have actually never really interested me in artwork aside from photography and film.. I actually just leave mine blank when I art

It can sometimes help to understand the story behind a particular portrait. For example, American Gothic features his sister and dentist posing in front of a real home you can visit, as stand-ins for a Stern rural American vision. Most people know this, but what people don't know is that Wood previously almost exclusively painted portraits of his mother to the point where she forbad him do so again. His sister is meant to represent his mother, and his dentist his father (whom emotionally abused Wood). Interestingly, in the background of the portrait you can see potted plants that belonged to Wood's mother and appear in an earlier portrait of her. It seems like one of the most bland portraits ever, but the context and meaning of individual parts of the piece are what bring depth to it. Also the house is visitable, and is actually a super small one story building. And that concludes today's lecture.

actually, it's much easier to do whimsical creative nonsense than paint a good portrait. to be able to draw a portrait/ full figure one needs not only skill, but aslso pretty good knowledge of anatomy and physics (yes- optics! when rendering light and shade). don't get me wrong, i loooooooove drawing whimsical lines and shapes, but it's never as satisfying + frustrating as drawing a human figure- capturing the proportions, the light, the shape of the eyes, etc.... of course, it's always a matter of taste.

no problem
