Are art forums nearing extinction
#22
I think another thing I feel that's missing, is the connection. Reason I joined forums, is to somewhat connect with other peoples, of course the more I found peoples are also becoming less active on forums. And lets not begin with social media, since you guys pretty much summed up what social media is nowadays.

For me, especially the environment I live in, there is no artist to talk to, so my only source of actually connecting with other peoples is online, but the more I find myself not been able to connect with anybody, due of:
A) No seriousness involved
B) Lack of patience
C) Just kinda want to "learn" art

So it's kind of rare to actually form up art buddies. But I guess that's what schoolism is striving for right?

Also another thing I noticed in any forums I visit, I see a lot of sketchbook threads been left in the dust. So I ask myself, as much as we want to learn a craft which is done by experimenting, failing etc. , as humans we still crave for communication and someone that says "they do care".

That's my opinion of course, not sure how you guys see this whole thing. But I seriously think, creating a learning environment online, that's striving for something, can somewhat enhance the learning experience of learning alone.

PS: Not even sure if what I said is related to the problem at hand, but that's the thought that came to mind.
