Art Cliches and Stereotypes


People always assume artists are crazy, dark, and in some level of solitude. Artsy people are often associated with flower-child patterned skirts and shirts, a pair of beat up shoes (converse, combat boots, never usually uggs because they are mainstream), and very natural hair, which can be died any color from the color wheel. Like made with the uggs comment, mainstream media, music, and art is all-well-and-good but is often not associated with true art. Art is revolutionary, and it has to make a statement according to cliche. And alot of times, art is considered art in the form of a painting or graphic piece, and other forms of artistic expression receive other names (performance, vocal, marketing,science, poetry). People also think that because of their narrow scope of what art actually is that artists cannot and will not make sufficient funds from their artwork.


unfortunately, I can't make this very funny. But the picture at right perhaps can add some humorous spice to this post. (although I don't
know how much...)
