Art

Ok, there's a decent chance this one's just me, but I'm curious.

I don't get art. I understand making it as an outlet, and I can appreciate beauty. However when I look at a painting/sculpture etc, I don't 'feel' anything. Either it looks pretty or it doesn't, it's done with skill or it's not. This seems to span all genres/movements.

As this is a sort of perception thing, and to do with connecting emotionally, I wondered whether it may be ASD related. Does anyone else feel the same? Negative responses welcome as this is just a point of interest, I'm not looking for reassurance.

  • Between 2011-2018 I have done some 600ish work of drawings and poetry which I am beginning to but on my Facebook pages

    Though I have stopped due to the altitude of the course tutors saying my works weren't worth the papers that they are on!

    Have a look and see what you think!

    My grandpa was a brilliant artist and I thought I should have a try at it.

    I also have a number of guitars, though I don't think that I am a worthy guitarist to go public and besides I only use them to control my arthritis!
