Is Ignorance Banable

Kara, you no absolutely nothing about Native culture. The fact that you think they are inferior and uncuvuluzed proves it. Just because you do not like the art does not mean it is not good. You can not talk about a topic you clearly know nothing about

And your suposidly an expert or something? Hell, just Google Native American art, and then Google European art. It's not something like preference here, it's simply more skillful.

Skill does not determine art. I am not saying I am an expert. I am saying do not fucking say something is more civilized or is better when you have no fucking background knowledge on the subject

On this side note I would like to agree that skill does not determine art. Otherwise, most examples of modernist are would not qualify as art when compared to something like the Arnolfini Wedding.

Skill does not dictate art, and the differences in skill that Kara sees are largely nonexistent. Kara just thinks that all non western and maybe a bit of eastern art is garbage because they make use of different mediums of expression than their western counterparts.

No I think that that's garbage because it takes no effort or skill and looks like crap.

Native Art is just freaking colored masks. Sometimes they're not even colored.
Most of African art is no better. Although most of the African art you find now is made in Modern times, but whatever.

There will be no reasoning with you.

I actually like native art, and it's just colored masks there is also: sculptures, native clothing, those trinkets they sell (you know them), and their weapons are nice to look at.

Dude, have you googled it yet? It's rediculous to call it anywhere near equal with European Pieces.

I'm not gonna discuss this with you. You're hopeless. You really remind me a lot of Che.

Clothing, trinkets, and weapons aren't art. In fact I think that many of them are just stereotypes that companies manufacture to make profits.

As for Sculptures, most of them are of Native Americans. Not even made by Natives, especially not Natives before Colombus.

Oh cool, back out of the discussion.

Multiculturalism or death, right? -.-

I've discussed it with you a ton, even in PMs, and there's no point in going further.

You can't compare art tO one another. That's why it's art! It's all about the individual interpration of the piece. NObody in the artistic community would say anything close to what you just said. They might say "I like expressiOnism best" but that's it. Remember when I posted "fire in my belly" I loved it, and you hated it. And that's all it means not the inferiority of his work but our differing tastes

Fire in my Belly is very good.

Oh look, Kara not understanding simple concepts. How vary unsurprising.

Well yes, that's what I've said about East Asian art. I hate it, but it does actually take skill and time to make.

Native/African art does not take skill or time. They make things that could be pumped out day in and day out (handmade, of course), but you can't just make a painting like Paris Boulevard every day or so.

Also, 50/50 chance that almost none of you even have Googled it yet. Just compare the works. It's bloody obvious.

You're completely ignoring what everyone is saying. SKILL DOES NOT DICTATE ART.

It kind of does. Because you can't say that it's higher quality, I have to say Skill. Which isn't what I'm looking for, but everyone else is splitting hairs on my words.

It's like whenever there's a Thread on Communism and our Commies bitch about mis-spelling Proletariat or forgetting one of the bullshit stages.

Art is about the meaning not the skill involved in making it and Native art is among the very best in that aspect.

Art isn't about the meaning, it's about apperence. Simply that you say your art has meaning doesn't make it equal to something that actually took talent to make.
