Excellent idea. Count me in.

i'm game for a trip to the museum of obscure sculptures locally :)

I still think "Fine Arts" is a bad name for this challenge. "Contemporary Art Photography" seems more to the intended theme.

"Fine Arts" is an arbitrary term used to distinguish a category of work from the "applied" and "decorative" arts. That's about all it means :-)

Because of the arbitrary nature of the term, I really think that last time around it might just as well have been regarded as a free study. In which case, what's the point?

That doesn't look anything like the Top 10 of a Free Study.

could be a more specific sub category in "fine arts" its such a broad term...... I haven't entered for a while as my pottery and garden call me every morning and when I check in to DPC I'm waiting for a challenge topic that will grab me.... FINE ART makes me feel like I have to conquer the Metropolitan Museum in one day searching for what "I" think is fine....art...ug...where's the cafeteria.....SUB BASEMENT WHAT??????...I am pretty sure I can make ANYTHING into Fine Art.....

Someone throw out something a little moremmmmmm specific .....pertaining to the Fine Arts..... please...... I LOVE to see and compare the work done when the topic is narrower....

or at least educational..... "lighting like Caravaggio" or "colors like Rothko" or "design like Warhol" even....

^--- Best thing said in here so far. Listen to her.

Qiki -- I agree that it sounds like it ought to be a lot like a Free Study, but Don makes an excellent point. The top ten of the last Fine Arts challenge looked nothing like the to ten of any Free Study.

LoVi -- I know exactly what you are saying. I am much more comfortable with a more specific theme. It gives me some idea where to start. However, I think think the more arbitrary nature of a Fine Arts theme will help push people in new directions. It will get you out of your comfort zone. Hopefully, it will get everyone to experiment a bit more and make bolder choices. I generally like challenges that provide more direction, but in the case of Fine Art I think it's best to let everyone bring their own interpretation and then see a what wonderful variety of images come out of it.

Come on. Let's be adventurous and give it a try.

Bump, we need this again :)
06/10/2013 09:03:33 PM · #15
One art

Two arts

Something that belongs to an art... Art's

Something that belongs to two or more arts... Arts'

Just sayin'... carry on...

It's a broad brush topic, so you can concentrate on any sub topic you want....renaissance light, abstract, impressionistic, gothic, new age, garbage, noir.... Good idea Anita, I'm in.

bump!

Let's see some Fine Art. I love looking through what people submit for these.
06/17/2013 10:50:30 PM · #19
bump again, I will never give up, hehe!
06/17/2013 10:55:03 PM · #20
never give up! Never surrender!!

Fine art works for me -- it's definitely time.

I requested a subject/title change to "Fine Arts: Exhibit 3"

Hopefully that'll help this get picked up. Hope you don't mind Anita.
