Modern fine art is a complete joke, fine art in museums nowadays is just these things called "art" like banana being taped on a wall or a straight line being drawn in a canvas and the people will call it "thought-provoking" and "deep". I appreciate traditional fine art better when it comes to visiting museum exhibits is because those art pieces actually have effort and history put into it rather than piling up boxes without any decoration and effort while calling it "art". The saddest part is that there will be people paying huge amounts of money for just a straight line being drawn on a canvas.

I can't find myself appreciating modern fine art and they all feel "hollow" to me.

There are better artists out there on the internet putting their work out on the internet yet they don't have installments in museums.

(Sorry, just rambling a bit since I remember being taught art history in art appreciation classes.)

I think it's an intentional deconstruction, or gaslighting, like how youtube movie critics try to stealthily infer that the viewer is a bad person if a show has show they like has something like the hero's journey in it.

Actually, it's more of fine "artists" that basically use fine art as a way of milking lots of money from those who are willing to spend on abstract pieces of art for millions and possibly billions while putting little to no effort and inflating the "meaning" by presenting themselves front and center. So you're right on that one point. But nowadays, it's just a way for "artists" to make the most money out of people who fell for it. The saddest thing is the banana tape piece is originally a satire of modern art in general.

(But in a profit standpoint, who can blame them especially when these artists made loads of money out of people who are willing to spend billions on a piece of canvas with a simple dot or a line.)

It's like the story "Emperor's new clothes" where the emperor fell for the trick of things without meaning that he thinks that there's a meaning (thinking that he wears a new set of clothing).

For example, if a stain on tissue paper that has a famous name slapped on it. It'll sell for ridiculous amounts of money. At the end of the day, it's just a method of money laundering.

And people who believe that EVERYTHING has a religious meaning...even in Toy Story. It's not, it's an animated movie about toys, why would you include profound stuff in it?

So, there was this person who made a paper mache frog for her wall and it looked good. Idk if I can make something that actually looks that good or not. I mean, that would be a good way to have some novelty items on your wall that is a good size. Also, is there a way to make it without flour I wonder? Also, would it just make my dog bark constantly? Lol
 
I'm so mad right now. I'm about to finally replace my old Chromebook with a newer one and just found out that I could double-duo or split-screens (whatever!)....

You're telling me I have been wasting my life this entire time.
I'm in the middle of typing a novel and I could have just split the screen if I wanted to check notes or do research without opening another new tab this entire time.
