Deviation vs. Scrap
=confused-equine
reports, November 23, 2006
reports, November 23, 2006I'll just state the obvious - deviantART is an art community.
So, why do so many deviants insist on submitting random pictures of two of their friends at a party with no respect to, well, anything?
Newsflash - this is not MySpace. This is not an online photo album. It's a gallery. If you want to submit random pictures of you and your friends, submit them as scraps. They are not art, and frankly, are an insult to what truly is art.
Before submitting a deviation, I suggest you question its purpose. Would you like to see this piece framed and showed in an art exhibit? If so, submit it as a deviation. We don't see sketches on notebook paper (unless it was done purposefully) framed in a gallery, do we? We don't see inartistic snapshots of ourselves and our friends, do we? No, these are the things that may be in a little frame on your desk, if they're even good enough for that - you know, pictures of your family, friends, etc. A photo album, even.
Now, I'm not claiming that every deviation should be an incredible example of art. However, I am saying that your art should exemplify your talent, the best of your work. Don't degrade yourself.

 reports, 1d 17h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.

In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.

The pattern in the Chaos
Gonna have to go ahead and not agree with you.
Here's the unwritten rule:
Good art is creative, bad art is destructive.
and...
this seems kind of destructive.
If you don't think it's art, then don't look at it. It will only making yours look better by comparison anyway.

My news article was not art. In fact, it was basically arguing that very point.

But I'm getting better at fighting the future.
Someday you'll be fine.
Yes, I'll be just fine.

Only the artist can judge what is art to him and what is not. Sometimes, his art is not appreciated by the others, but still, he likes what he does, and it is art from the simple fact that (s)he created it believing it was art.
There can be art even in a webcam shot for an ID picture (even though I never saw anything that I could call art myself through a myspace-like picture...)
However, I'll have to agree with your point, sometimes it's annoying to have all these anime fanboys and myspace whores around, but just leave them alone and ignore their art rather than attack them.
The world is large enough for everyone.
Keep what you have, and don't destroy other people's belonging just because you don't like them.
The problem is, what do you say or do? So many times I want to scream "take it to flickr or myspace!", but that would be rude. I'd love some templates for this sort of thing, like on Wikipedia. Firing off a {{notart}} would be so much simpler...
I agree with you in the point that people really should not use it as a photoalbum. There are other services for that like flickr or picasa webs.
But you can't just say:"This is not art!". Only if the people insist it themself

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"
Benjamin Franklin
The fact of the matter is, the people who do whats being described here aren't submitting pictures of their highschool buddies because they feel its a fantastic piece of art. They're doing it because they can and they have no regard for the purpose of DA or quality of their gallery as a whole.
If someone submits things like this because they genuinely think its artistic (even if we don't agree), more power to them. Thats not the case with most of them, though. They do it because they can, and thats it. The argument that "you can't judge what is art" just doesn't hold up when even the artist doesn't even mean for it to be art.
