Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

Well, what I meant when i wrote that, is that you can work really hard and probably you'll achieve things. The difference is this, in sport they always tried to figure out who's the best, look at the Olympics, all these championships and so on.

In science the progress was largely driven by military needs which where always first priority judging by history books. And it's about domination, who's a better sports person, which country is more advanced in the military aspect. It's about who's getting the attention, the prize, who's dominating the field. A very biological approach.

There's a takeaway for them, unless they are geniuses who are self-content and truly want to explore and devote themselves to their field of acitivity. There's a difference in devotion to something and working out of a need to achieve something. At least for me. Maybe I just didn't make it clear enough.

And what about art? What is the best art? How to say with any certainity? Ok, drawing is precise and correct, it is in line with all the rules, the perspective, modelling, e.t.c.Does it make it a good art? It's an endless topic for a stupid debate i had countless times while studying at art school. Becoming better in art is becoming better based on your personal subjective criteria which is heavily influenced by everything you saw and appreciated or didn't. You either need to have a really clear vision, like being able to actually imagine the things you want to see in your work in all the detail and nuance or it's about exploring, improvising, not really knowing what you're doing which is the case for most of us. You may actually discover something in that exploration, an interesting mix of texture, drawing, light and so on.

Art is really different. It's hard to put it in some kind of a frame and say, yes, this is it. It's dynamic, it changes, from cave drawings to nowadays.
