I know /ic/ h8z abstract art but, well I don't have a but and I don't know why I'm asking but, is there a way to 'get into' (as in become good at) abstract art.

By become good I mean be able to recognize what makes abstract art appealing to my eye when it is appealing to my eye as well as what makes abstract art appealing to my mind when it is appealing to mind as well as know how to recreate or create such pieces of work which my mind and my eye find appealing

I just find representational art so weird, like why am I trying to make a 3d mass of cells and atoms and shit into some graphite on a bit of paper? whats the deal

I'm practicing figure drawing and shit and I get how to improve and such but what about like abstract art, theres no perspective or form or whatever, do I just learn colour theory and composition? do I study other artists who do work I enjoy

thanks

thanks so much, <3

thanks

yes, spend a lot of time on color theory and composition. study matisse, rothko, picasso. focus on decomposing everything that interests you into abstract concepts with visual forms. also realize most abstracts are clueless imitations from artists that knew what they were doing or retards slashing paint at a wall with no rhyme or reason. that should get you started but if not don't force yourself to learn something that isn't for you.

if you don't like it nor understand it even after trying it's possible it isn't 'for you'. try something else.

like do anything else. if it isn't working don't force it. why pursue something that isn't fun or rewarding?
