My least favorite...Spoken Word

Make no mistake, despite what you may have been told this isn't poetry, merely bombastic grandstanding packaged as such. Using staggered cadences, half clever word play, and overly emphatic inflections, it lulls audiences into a false sense of importance and depth. True, spoken word pieces will often touch on socially and politically relevant issues, but behind all the flash typically lies a banal exploration of the subject matter at best. If you enjoy having platitudes hurled at you rhythmically, then spoken word might just be for you.

Used to be sculpture but after taking Art History and 3D Design classes I realize how stupid that was.

Now, I'd probably have to say Slam Poetry (I guess that falls under the umbrella of spoken word.)

also all the shitty art they keep pumping out into museums, lights going on and off is not art

Without a doubt video games. I want to play video games to have fun and to challenge myself, not to go through some barely interactive movies.

I'm guessing you wouldn't like the Catcher in the Rye movie?

What the fuck is this? Sounds like what I could read in Bernard Werber's books when I was in high school.

When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.

 

[sn00zer]

Art that takes little skill and is ugly....It takes no talent to make an ugly thing, and we have enough of hose already.
Also if it takes more than two sentences to xplain hwat a piece is then the artist doesnt even know what they made.

What I posted is actually a super famous poem. I had to critique it in college.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Wheelbarrow

The poet John Hollander cited "The Red Wheelbarrow" as a good example of enjambment to slow down the reader, creating a "meditative" poem.

The editors of Exploring Poetry believe that the meaning of the poem and its form are intimately bound together. They state that "since the poem is composed of one sentence broken up at various intervals, it is truthful to say that 'so much depends upon' each line of the poem. This is so because the form of the poem is also its meaning." This viewpoint is also argued by Henry M. Sayre who compared the poem to the readymade artwork of Marcel Duchamp.

Peter Baker analyzed the poem in terms of theme, writing that "Williams is saying that perception is necessary to life and that the poem itself can lead to a fuller understanding of one's experience."

Kenneth Lincoln saw humor in the poem, writing "perhaps it adds up to no more than a small comic lesson in the necessity of things in themselves."

Another interpretation of this poem has to do with the centrality of machinery to the occupation of husbandry, and thereby to the well-being of the nation, which depends on farming for crops, which provides food for the population.

I dislike 99% of abstract paintings . I think that whatever the intentions of the painter is too intrinsically tied to the creator for the painting to have a "collective" value , and the critics who should be able t gauge the art are so relativist that no values can be taken from these arts creations

But then Piet Mondrian is one of my favorite painters and that kinda makes me a hypocrite ¯\_(&#12484_/¯.

this is exactly what's wrong with the shit that they call art these days. it's no longer about the art itself, it's the creator and his intent of the work. isn't art supposed to be interpreted into different ways?

Ummm...it never stopped being about interpretation. I don't know how you got the impression it wasn't.
