you dont have to be able to paint or draw, there is all sorts of types of art Drawing, Painting, Photography, Digital Art, Jewlery, Print Making (metal etching, wood cut, Lithograph etc...) sculpture (origame, Paper Miche SP? wood carving, metal working etc..) and they can all be abstract, realistic impressionistic, or what ever. all you need is an idea, just make it. If you put some serious time into it, and think of it as something to have fun with, no matter what, it will be good.

"Your Worst Critic is You. and therefore sometimes you have to lower your expectations before anything good will come of your work! It is then that you will find new quality(s) in your Art, yourself, and maybe the world, and thus help you become a better artist! EVERY ARTIST HAS MADE A BAD PIECE SOME TIME IN THEIR LIFE, you have to start somewhere!!"--Me

Frank (My Figure Drawing Professor)--"10% of art is in the tallent, 30% is the idea, and 60% is Skill..... Tallent is not a necessity to pass as an excelent piece of art!"

Aah yes... my artist side!

Something I plan to do some time is... making spiders seem less harmful and more cute (to the Average person) we all know everyone here thinks spiders are cute, soft and cuddly but I dont think we are quite normal lol. And making them seem more dangerous, Here on Arachnoboards. I like to paint against the grain!! if you know what I mean. I have yet to choose a media.

I heartily agree Gweg,

We are definitely our worst critics and art can be applied in many different manners. Hopefully we can eventually get a sticky for this, there's some great work turning up from everyone.

[Bedlam]

I've got a tattoo of a spider. Not quite a Tarantula. Actually, the hydrolics, tubes and such would make it more of a cyborg style spider. I still love it. Got it before I owned any spiders too.
I'll try to get a good picture of it and post it up here.

@Brigebane - all I can say is WOW!

I was in a faculty meeting yesterday and we were doing a mini-book club and were asked to make a visual of 4 main ideas in our reading. When we displayed our work, it was quite obvious which group I had been part of.

 

[Ewok]

Heres a drawing I did 2 min. ago, it depicts social/economic frustrations tarantulas face and the struggle for freedom rights that they struggle to obtain, the cave in the corner represents the struggles th tarantula faces, and the waterdish in the foreground represents its motivation lol. In this picture, the male tarntulas eyes show a a lot of emotion as it climbs the jagged corporate ladder as a detour,in order to breed with a female .

a close up

 

[Varden]

Unfortunately none of my talents lie in drawing. This is as close as it gets.
