I've always said anyone can draw and I mean it. You may not like what you draw or think it's bad, but the way you get better at it is to do it over and over and over. When I was a teenager, I talked my dad into letting me take figure drawing classes at the Art Student League in NYC, Every weekend for I don't know how long, I rode in and sat and drew, from very short poses, barely to get a gesture, to long poses. I was not very good at first, but any current facility I have with drawing or painting or printmaking is rooted in those hours and hours of work.
It's true for making anything for any craft, for any art, you have to do it over and over to learn it and to learn yourself in it.
I love that sweater. It's so pretty and looks so comfy.
I wrote some of my thoughts regarding art and craft on the About page for my Substack, which is also how I distribute some of my writing. I send most of it to my writer's group. I submit to literary journals.
I studied visual art in college, and I'm always telling myself that I'll get back to it soon. I used to crochet when I was in high school (my mom taught me), but I haven't touched yarn in decades. Sometimes, I think, "I'd like to try that, again, sometime."
Most of my thoughts on art and craft mirror yours. I've never been one of those, "I hate writing, but I love having written." For me, it's always been the other way around. I write because I can't help myself. I did it secretly throughout most of my life. I hid my notebooks. I blogged anonymously. I was almost ashamed of my output because I wrote multiple times per day.
My art is my play. I would no more outsource it than I would outsource my tv watching or novel reading. Actually, I'm much more likely to outsource my tv watching. My art is how I access my truth. Somehow, I don't think AI could do that for me.
I have the feeling the AI-boosters love the idea that with AI doing the Art or Music, they will never again have to pay an artist or musician or have to listen to one say things the AI-boosters don’t understand.
