What will it be?


Realistic art and Art as alteration is different from each other. In the aspect of the way they were created and in the way how they were being interpreted. Realistic art is a hard thing to do, because if I will be instructed to create realistic art especially human figures in a realistic way, it will be a big pain in my head. While on the other hand, art as alteration is the way how the artist interpret a certain subject which was most of the time is unrealistic. Uncommon figures, exaggerated portions and fantasy images or beyond reality interpretations simply explains and describes art as alteration. At the same time, it will be easier for an artist to create such thing compared to that Realistic art which conveys things that literally how they appear on the human’s vision. And I have read that, in general, realists render everyday characters, situations, dilemmas, and objects, all in a "true-to-life" manner. Realists tend to discard theatrical drama, lofty subjects and classical forms of art in favor of commonplace themes. How about the definition for art as alteration? ---well, images that appear in a different manner simply explain how it really looks like.

I’m only able to draw common illustrations, because the way I make them is quite simple than the other people that I know who are also fond of art. Art gives color to the human eye and art can be seen almost everywhere. Art is not just about the pleasant appearance but it is also about the value given by the artist just to create such work. At this moment, I’m still confused whether my artwork is more of realistic, impressionist or even distorted. During my spare time, I draw anime which is not realistic, so I think I am not an artist who practices realism, but of course sometimes I try drawing stuff that is real. Can I be considered as an artist who creates distorted art? Hmm--- this is really confusing but I think I will prefer art as alteration above all, because with it, I can freely create my own illustration with my ideas and perceptions about it. But of course I also want to be a realistic artist one day who can create realistic strokes, proper shading and line combinations.I talk less, I am quiet most of the time, so sometimes when I am alone or don’t feel to talk with someone, I get a paper and a pen and draw things. But it annoys me every time I want to draw something but I can’t, simply because I really don’t know how.

Artists are humans, who have emotions and perceptions, which also have freedom to do what he wanted to do as long as he never hurt anybody. Artists interpret their feelings through their paintings, sculptures or even architectures. But everything and everybody is able to change, if a certain person shifted his belief from one to another, one should accept it. I have learned that way back then; there are some artists who shifted from a realistic artist to an abstract expressionist due to his experiences in life. For now, I’ll continue searching for my own craft, because I know that I still lack knowledge about art and how to appreciate it well. Whether it is a realistic art, Art as alteration or distorted art, it doesn’t really matters because all I know, what I’m doing is an art, and what I am about to do is to go deeper through art.
