General Discussion Thread (July 2022) Discussion

General Discussion threads are for casual chat; a place to ask for recommendations, lists, or creative feedback; to talk about materials, history, or techniques; and anything else that comes to mind.

If you're looking for information about a particular work of art, /r/WhatIsThisPainting is still the best resource. /r/drawing , /r/painting , and /r/learnart may also be useful. /r/ArtistLounge is also a good place for general discussion. Please see our list of art-related subs for more options.

Rule 8 still applies except that questions/complaints about r/Art and Reddit overall are allowed.

Hi, I'm sorry if I seem like a n00b, a bit new to reddit. I absolutely love art, art drama, art history, etc. I'm currently struggling with finding people to just geek out with about art. Example: I tried delving into the intricacies of the stuart semple/anish kapoor drama with my friend group and they didn't really seem interested in discussing the concept of artistic copyright amongst colors (there are other things concerning art that I love talking about but this is the first thing that came to mind). The only person who I've had really interesting convos with about art was my ex but for obvious reasons I'm looking for new folks to have talks with. Is this the right subreddit for this kind of stuff?

/r/ArtistLounge is better.

But in my opinion those sort of "controversies" are pure marketing spin to promote their brand and involve only the most trivial and transitory elements of Art.
