I believe art can sometimes transcend the senses and does not have to be created through hands. I am not saying that one is better than the other; they come from different realms and while they intermingle in lots of ways, they can be very different. Do you agree that art can transcend and be made without the senses? <br /><br /><a href="http://www.lilarhodes.com/list-of-works/" rel="nofollow"> http://www.lilarhodes.com/list-of-works/</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11083344248292737284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-10479073440833603302014-08-22T21:12:36.110-07:002014-08-22T21:12:36.110-07:00I agree with JeffO in that it is the intent.

I think a lot of artists recoil in horror (and denial) when people tell them there's any sort of right or wrong when creating. I was reminded of the saying, "You have to know the rules before you can break them." Francis claimed he loved gastronomy and food chemistry, but it became really obvious really fast that those were just his fancy words for random experimentation. There was absolutely no understanding of the science behind what he did. He didn't know what rules enough to break them, and he didn't even know what rules he was breaking while he broke them. Deviation is brilliant when it's intentional, committed, and self-aware. That's when it end up looking easy. That's when it looks like art.

Not only do we strive to achieve the balance of art and craft in our own writing, but it's a challenge also when we try to critique the work of other writers. We want to give feedback that encourages this balance. It's not easy!Anita Saxenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444339735834716979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-59624289133520627912014-08-22T12:47:55.618-07:002014-08-22T12:47:55.618-07:00Natalie, how are you always so wise and eloquent? ...Natalie, how are you always so wise and eloquent? :) I've noticed this same push-and-pull between the two in writing.
