Some Art We Like From A Distance
The present Comment Contest in the community Art & Artists is about the question of whether body painting is art. Is it? To some it's not because it's not everlasting, to others it's shameful because the paint is done on the naked body. You can do parts yourself just like with makeup up or go to a professional body painter (body paint artist) for a shoot or...more
Have a look at the first video this is body painting and to me this is art and it doesn't matter if it's temporary (which it isn't since there are photos and videos). The painter isn't only a great painter but also has imagination, and leaves a message with his work.
There are more types of art. Are people like those we see in the next video present on Steemit?
I tend to think so although they might not be known or called idiots. If you can please, take the time to watch the next video where you will see a show made by the body painter mentioned in the first video, you will hear a voice artist and can watch more artists. I call them artists since that is what they are. Talented people who develop skills and do what they like most of all which is most important of all.
If you put your soul in what you create art (a masterpiece) is born. Will it be liked and last forever? This depends on many factors but it is not said that temporary art is no art. The art show here will leave a deep impression on me unlike many "famous" paintings or piece of art for the simple reason they never spoke to me.

@cryptopie @kafio @cicisaja @suryati1 @tezzmax @grebmot enjoy the different faces of art.
@krucekoncept and @rashid001 did you try bodypainting?
I can say Miss @wakeupkitty that I am a lover or art especially paintings hung on walls. There is this instance where at the laboratory clinic where I used to go when I can still walk on my own to have my blood work done, I would always look and spend some time, almost staring at the paintings hung inside the the laboratory clinic. There are CCTV in the clinic so I bet they see me looking at those art works especially the small one, about 3x3 inches size where a bouquet of flowers is the subject and I bet that the Lady owner had painted those.
I also think that she knows that I was one out of the thousands of people that goes to that lab clinic that actually put some time about appreciating those paintings because she had given me some food gifts about three years ago or so also during my blood was tested outside the clinic and it was before the pandemic and I couldn't walk there anymore because I can't anymore so they have to take a sample of my blood in the car inside the clinic's parking garage. It was my mother that asked them to do so.
When the owner of the clinic learned that I was there, she gave me some food gifts and I really think that I know why, I appreciated her paintings if not she has a special special space in her heart for me being a long-term surviving dialysis patient.
Anyway, with regards to Art and how to present it is really a subjective matter. One example of this is what you conveyed with the video showing aa visual art presentation, it has a function which is according to the artist, to advocate the preservation of some animal species which are really endangered and wants the pertinent people who can act to make a solution to this present problem to get some ways and means to save the animals.
The visual art presentation had done its job, it made the people in the studio appreciate what they saw although in just a brief moment but nonetheless liked what they saw and also heard with the simultaneous voice message to directly tell the audience what the want to convey although I think they should show it to the right people who can really make a solution or difference to the current state of the animals.
So for me as long as the supposed art form or presentation would be done tastefully and not being sexual in any way by corrupting a young mind like that of a child, then it is ok. Art is like a knife, if you use it to cut your food, then it is good, if you use it to hurt people, then it is bad.
The same way for art works as some can be just a gimmick to lure people in asexual way and that for me is just a plain pornography and not art, a wolf under a sheep's wool as it seemingly looks like an art but corrupts minds in both adults and especially against children and I know because I had been a child before, well obviously ha ha.
Even our brain does some form of art, it gives us the visual presentation of what we are thinking, our frustrations in life, passions in life, love to do, want to do, and manifests what or minds and bodies are feeling at the moment as well and the brain has a reason, which is to vent the pressures out so that it can rejuvenate so that we will not go loco.
We have to consider that a brainless artist cannot do art, like a painting. That is why an artist's (Painter) brain is special because it can do what other people can't which is to show what his/her brain is seeing and putting it on the canvass for people to see and appreciate and value.
My preference for art are paintings because I like to see within the painter's mind on what he/she is seeing while doing the artwork because I always wonder why such people can do it while the multitude of others cannot because in my opinion, just like a cook, a person is born cook and I am sure that also, a person is born an artist, or a painter and they all deserve a recognition and praise because they are a gem of society.
Thank you for this opportunity to give my opinion about what true art is an what is not because all art is good while others are just using a supposed art for bad interests and intentions. 😀👍
Art is something strange. We see or better feel it. I like art in public places and just like you I stop and study it. I never saw anyone do that it's as if it's taken for granted or seen as some wallpaper. It's strange to consider you are observed even found weird if you study a painting. Isn't that the reason it's there in the first place?
The last time I visited the doctor's office there were paintings but no name. I asked someone but she aheugged and said: it should be at the front doir. Nothing. Another visitor said: did you check the back of the painting? I did not but I went back to look at the back of a small one and there was the name. /
I wonder if the paintings will still be there of exchanged since usually it's part of the hospital and they have a small department with the doctors but will stop in 2025. This means everyone has to travel 40 kilometres or more. I doubt who feels sick can do that. They will stay home andperhaps the ambulance will comeif it's too late.
It's a nice gesture they take your blood in the car. No one would here but perhaps a nurse would come to your home.
It must be good to know someone appreciates your paintings I would reward for that as well.
Thanks for sharing yiur thoyggrs and live for art.

Yes, they are all art forms, they all leave impressions and memorable moments. Almost all of them even have various lessons and messages they all pass but then, the body art to me has a lot in it which includes expressions and performances sometimes even aside from the application of paints by the artists and yes, that's a lot done already.
I love controversies a lot but their so topics that I would rather not engage in because it's not worth it. Imagine saying Van Gogh is not as good or Leonardo Da Vinci is a better artist than Van because he paints realistically and Van doesn't. It's just so funny and annoying at the same time but that's what our society has designed to be our mental base and I get it but it's not an healthy way to see things.
Another topic again is saying that traditional artists are to be more respected than the graphic artists because we feel they do more artistic work. I sometimes feel that way too but it's not a good feeling to nurse.
for me, whoever can paint no matter what the canvas is are an artist! remember sand painting? it's not everlasting but still it's an art. and the latest news about "banana on the wall" which sold out for $5M+ and the banana eaten by the buyer after the auction, right in front of audiences also an art. so what, as long as you can enjoy the art, it's art.
Everything that impressed me, making by a human and he said it's art, then it is. body painting is another kind of art. even using heina not special painting like using by the tattoo artist, as long as it is beautiful to see. I will never say it rubbish.
