Communication is great. I mentioned I wanted to do both art appreciation & quilting but couldn't because they were both on at the same time & they rescheduled the art appreciation to the morning so I can do both.
What is art?

I judged that course too quickly as not very good & very boring except for the poems at the start of each section. I carried on with it & it's getting more & more useful & interesting. It got very boring when it mentioned digital storage of information methods which I already knew about & since then it's been getting interesting. I really think I can do this now.
It turns out that because I normally pick everything up straight away but I couldn't with archiving I made it out to be harder than what it was & said I can't do it when I can. It's not something you can learn quickly. Archiving is something that no matter how long you've been doing it there is always something else to learn about it & you've always got a lot to learn.
My next piece of writing is going to be an art piece & poem in 1. I'm going to do a watercolour painting of Haworth Moor & write a poem about the Bronte Sisters in the middle of it.

I believe you are correct by saying Art is a difficult answer to determine because I feel it is different for each individual who set out to make Art. Art for each individual is an expression of themselves to how they perceive something. That is going to be different for each individual because when people look at Art they are looking at different angles and seeing different shadows as they draw, paint or even sculpt the piece they are doing. There is no piece of Art that is the same because of this. It is the individuality of it that I believe makes Art great. Of course there is also the many different styles of Art that are taught as well that make this different as well. So Art is way more complex then just a simple drawing or painting or a canvas or a sculptor. To me it is all about how the Artist perceives what they are making that makes the Art what it is.
It also depends on what the (I'll call it this in want of a better word) audience thinks of art. Their analysis & personal opinion of art affect what they think of the art-works in question. I agree with you.

I got told my hand-writing is like a piece of art today. Can hand-writing really be seen as art-work?
I only have a copper-plate signature except for the A because I don't like copper-plate Capital A's because if you don't make it big enough it can get confused with a small A so I use a decorative a. I used to do all my hand-writing in copper-plate but stopped it as not everyone knows Copper-plate hand-writing. I especially like Copper-plate capital C's & D's. The rest of my hand-writing is in foundational hand-writing with Roman Capitals as I used to have to use italics for quotes & couldn't do extended italics & didn't like uncial or half-uncial hand-writing. I love fancy writing though. My favourite fonts on the computer are Lucida Calligraphy & Lucida Hand-writing.
Maybe I shouldn't have said that because according to graphologists decorative hand-writing is adopted because people don't think they're good enough. Long cautionary strokes are supposed to mean that you think a lot before actually committing yourself to writing. If your writing leans too much to the right it's supposed to mean you're clingy. According to graphology, my hand-writing tells people I don't think I'm good enough, I think a lot before committing myself to writing, I'm creative & I'm musical. (I can only sing or song-write but other than that it's pretty accurate.
*Footnote: In case anyone doesn't know graphology is the science of hand-writing analysis.

These works were completed in 1992. The symbolism is off the charts.

They're very good. Thank you very much for sharing. It's a change for me to see non-equine or non-Celtic, non-Roman or non-cave art recently.
I've just been reading about old railway posters which reminded me of an art history class I did at work recently. It made a nice change from equine art, Celtic art, Roman art & cave art which I've seen a lot of recently.

Have any US posters visited the Georgia Guidestones?
Installed in 1980.
The guide being:
The guides are written in eight different languages.
The Population recommendation is a little chilling. We'd only need to lose 7.3 billion to achieve that figure.

OMG, Brittbox, you’ve solved the age old mystery of who built Stonehenge....Have any US posters visited the Georgia Guidestones?

Today I went and saw an incredible art experience of Van Gogh's works...Van Gogh Alive .It is a powerful and vibrant symphony of light,colour and sound compels you to leave the world behind and immerse yourself in Van Gogh's paintings.It is the most visited multi-sensory experience in the world.It was to go to Melbourne but because of their 2nd lock down it came to Sydney.
It is a multi-sensory exhibiton involving larger than life projections of the Dutch artist's Post Impressionist masterpieces.
The Starry Night for example accompanied by a musicial score and the light projections to give you the sense your're walking into his paintings.They even had installations on the floor to look at and installations of his works covered the walls.It was COVID safe and timed with social distancing in place and security guards were there to make certain people adhered to the protocols.
If Van Gogh Alive happens to come into your part of the world I urge you to see and sense this wonderful exhibition!
