Are you just being polite when you tell your friend, the artist, that his or her artwork is good? Similarly, if your friends all tell you that your art contemporary is really cool, are they simply being nice?

It's all about the psychology. I failed miserably as an artist. My friends used to tell me that my work wasn't even good, but it wasn't that bad! I used to draw items laid out in front of me and turn them into black chunky masses of charcoal within ten minutes, so I knew my peers were lying. It was all in their initial reactions and the way they said it.

I struggled with stumps of charcoal for hours on end trying to draw and reproduce my imagination on a 36" x 48" blank canvas, and my friends used to walk into my dorm room and fall over themselves with laughter! Now, I still have some great friends, and I have never dreamed of being a world-renowned art contemporary artist because I've never been any good at it. I've had to channel my talents in all sorts of other directions. But let e tell you, it's a telltale sign that an artwork is not the best if it gets laughed at by everybody when they first see it! Damn art school!

A long pause can also say it all. If more than two seconds pass between someone seeing an art contemporary piece and commenting, then the artwork in question probably doesn't give the audience much to talk about.

Art contemporary is ideal for everybody, and any form of self-expression in the modern day is art contemporary, but some things just won't make the grade on any levels set out by anyone. However, having said that, I think that it's important to remember that an artist shouldn't set out to please anybody when creating something new. If it is true art contemporary, then it has to come from inside the artist. Don't you think?
