Name an artform that you feel totally disconnected from. I'll go first.

[XNASA]

Jazz Dancing.

[bif]

1. Sculpture

It just doesn't do anything for me.

[XNASA]

3. What if the scupture included a monkey?

How could you say 'No' to something like that?

[begin_within]

2. Tattoos, pierced tongues, pierced eyelids, giant rings in the earlobes, etc.

[XNASA]

4. You would NOT enjoy meeting my grandmother, in that case. nt

[LostinVA]

5. Hip hop

[derby378]

10. Except for the old school, like Public Enemy and RUN-DMC

I also like what Ludacris and Sum 41 were able to pull off together.

[philosophie_en_rose]

6. Poetry

.

[XNASA]

13. That's somewhat surprising.

Now limericks, I would understand it if those didn't engage you. But poetry, huh?

[philosophie_en_rose]

37. Limericks totally engage me, but poetry? meh.

I want to like poetry. I think I'd make a very good emo coffee shop poetry reciter, but I just don't like most traditional poetry. :shrug:

[Throd]

43. Agreed, I hate poetry.

[XemaSab]

7. Any kind of modern sculpture

a la Cristo.

[tjwmason]

8. Dance and poetry.

Which is definitely not to say that I want them to go away, or that I think they have no value...but they don't really do anything for me personally.

[OnionPatch]

9. Opera

But I'm guessing I'm not alone on this one.

[Jokerman]

11. Television

I just don't see the appeal of ANYTHING on the major networks these days.

[XNASA]

14. I gotta agree with you.

Especially TV drama.

Some comedy is good. "The Office" works.

[cobalt1999]

40. same here.

Shoot I just "discovered" the show E.R. last year!

Whatever is popular today, I'll see it in about 10 years in syndication replaying at 2am when I can't sleep.

[Pacifist Patriot]

42. art form?

I'm not seeing it.

Oh wow, that made a great pun! ;)

[Rambis]

12. Jazz

I just don't get it I want it all to sound like one Dave Brubeck song and it doesn't. I have tried and I just don't like it. Maybe it is all the wine and cheese? Atonal wondering sax and mariah carey esc gymnastics don't work for me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Nothing really... I'm open to anything.

:hi:

[XNASA]

20. Even this?

http://www.theage.com.au/news/arts/bob-dylan-musical-panned/2006/10/30/1162056921525.html



:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Musicals? I love musicals!!! just not some of them.

;) :D

[Xipe Totec]

44. Good grief, people, it's been two days

and nobody has posted this gem?

[Pool Hall Ace]

16. handbell choirs

They make my head hurt! :-(

[XNASA]

27. Good one!

[xchrom]

17. you've stumped me.

once i start exploring the history of an artform -- the biographies of those involved i usually develop at least some interest.

i hadn't considered it a long your lines -- makes me think.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. I couldn't do it...

:hug: :hug: :hug: How are you doing? :hug: :hug: :hug:

I thought about you all day yesterday.

[xchrom]

29. i'm ok.

i'm sad.

now it's all about the funeral -- which i really don't have a big interest in -- because of all the struggle on a physical, emotional level with my dad.

i miss him -- and as much as struggled with the ''details'' of caring for him -- in a very strange way i miss doing it.

[XNASA]

23. You say that now, but......

...you've probably never seen a Kincaid Clock before.

[xchrom]

30. if that's an ''artform'' -- ack! then you've found one!

[woo me with science]

19. Computer-generated art and collages by adults.

Ways for the non-artistic to think they have talent.

[pitohui]

25. this is a democracy

there is no reason that the non-artistic shouldn't be able to produce art if they like

i actually like collage but my own collage is awful

[XNASA]

28. Oh, they can do it if they like....

But that doesn't mean it's any good. ;)

[pitohui]

31. i've noticed that during my own experiments

sigh

other people make good collage, why can't i? oh well, so it goes

[TimeChaser]

32. Wait, computer-generated art?

You don't think it takes talent to draw on the computer :shrug:

[pitohui]

34. i think it must and it must take talent to do collage as well

i have tried, i mean i don't even have the basic technical skills of getting it to work and come out nicely

it may be easy to say that collage is art for the untalented if one is either 1) extremely talented oneself or 2) never tried it so hasn't tackled the very real difficulties

as for drawing with my wacom mouse, let's not even go there

if it isn't talent, well, it's a hell of a lot of practice and skill involved as far as i'm concerned

there are still those who think photography is art for the lazy and those w.out talent or skill but i doubt most modern artists agree

[Archae]

22. Performance Art.

People do the most asinine stunts, call it "art." :dunce:

[davsand]

24. Kabuki.

Sorry, I just can't get into it...




On edit: Man, I just previewed this post and with the current Halloween picture I'm using in my sig I look like a complete redneck butthead bashing anything from another culture with a picture of a vomiting pumpkin up there...

[pitohui]

26. that's the one all right

jazz and modern dance are not for me

they can bag and tag ballet while they're at it, get nothing out of that either

i guess it just takes all kinds

[TimeChaser]

33. Modern dance

I don't get it :shrug:

[JitterbugPerfume]

35. I try to keep an open mind in my old age but

teeny boppers like Britney and weepy country music leave me cold

but I love Johnny Cash , Willie Nelson ,and Waylon Jennings

I also have a problem with hip hop (to mysogenist)

[kwassa]

36. NASCAR

[Momgonepostal]

38. all that Anime stuff

I just don't see the appeal.

[PVnRT]

39. "Modern" art

Wow, a stick and a dot. Such talent.

And, frankly, poetry does absolutely nothing for me.

[TheBaldyMan]

41. Art installations , they leave me cold I'm afraid.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

45. Morris Dancing...
