Just wondering. I'm also thinking I should start taking bets on how long until this forum gets 100 threads.
Re: Why does this have it's own forum? Because I asked for it. And because it is something that has been lacking on this board.
Re: Why does this have it's own forum? Should get the threads from the Buildings Draft we had a while ago moved in here from Food and Travel. That's a pretty useful repository for an architecture forum - over 200 buildings with pictures, most of them with detailed descriptions.
Wow. This would have been a great forum to have when we did our building/bridge/etc. draft. I'm glad it's here. I think it was necessary. I've had to put posts on these topics in wrong forums before. Perhaps, since this is art, we can cover some other arts... like live theater. I never have any clue where to talk about live theater! BTW... howzabout that art draft now to celebrate the opening of this forum?
Great idea. I'm happy to help organise, and would follow closely. I'd love to participate, but I fear my appreciation of art is too narrow. Same for judging - I'd automatically blacklist anyone who picked a Jackson Pollock.
I'd be up for an artists draft. Would we limit the mediums or would anyone that's considered an 'artist' be up for grabs? (Performance/installation/painting/photo/ etc.)
I think you'd have to limit the mediums slightly. Otherwise you'd have people picking architecture and stuff, which hardly seems fair.
I'm up for a draft and I say restrict it to painting, sculpture, and photograph, mainly because those can be evidenced by posting pics.
I'm all for it. If you want to be the draftmaster Caesar, go to it. And I agree. Lets stay withing the fixed visual arts
You should then maybe move/include this; https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=332553 Just sayin'
This forum exists so that I can post this piece of artwork. Thank you, please turn the lights out when you leave.
So its almost taken 6 years and we've slipped in some old ones as well, but we're 8 threads away from 100.
I still think the Balkanization of the NSR forums on BigSoccer was a huge mistake. The participation in all sorts of threads seemed to drop off dramatically. I'm most prone to go to the movies & music forum, but I greatly enjoy art (minored in Asian art in college), but there's so little activity here that I don't seek it out much. Seems like everything got a lot more discussion when it was only in 3-4 subdivisions.
Just discovered this forum. I am an architect and I find it hilarious that there's a forum on Architecture on BS.
