yeah I feel the same way about the pooping and the massive penis raping, but the pixel art was neat

Yeah, I think this would be neat if there were a lot of pixel art news around that just never gets collected anywhere, but I feel like it'd end up mostly being posts of the latest music video that uses pixel art

Right, I know about mosaics and tapestry, I guess I meant artwork that might reference the pixel specifically as a product of the digital age

General Discussion / Conceptual Pixel Art
« on: November 11, 2009, 06:21:10 am »
Hello.
It's been a long time since I've done any art and even longer since I've done pixel art, but I've been wondering about pixel art--or pixel art aesthetic--outside of the pixel art world as we know it here, with the general focus on video-gameness. Maybe as an aesthetic that references the digital world or something. I don't know. The only stuff that I think of that's anything like this is http://superbrothers.ca/, which I happen to like a lot. Does anyone know about art out there that may not be so connected to the underground pixel art thing going on here and in the indie games scene, maybe even paintings in art galleries or something, that references the pixel? I'd be surprised if there wasn't any...
Not that I think that stuff would be better or anything than the stuff here--I have a load of problems with the conceptual art world--but I think it'd be interesting to look at some pixel art, even loosely defined, that comes from a completely different angle than here.

« on: March 18, 2009, 04:02:32 am »Quote from: Darienmost of the homeschooled kids I know are weird and clueless when it comes to social interaction.I don't think I'd say most, but some certainly are incapable. And how are you sure being in school provides a better social expreience? I get most of my learning from classes with a lot of kids. I'm in a shakespeare class the I'm performing in, and there are 20something kids in the class. I take a lot of intellectual classes as well, which make the best IMHO out of a class experience.
Like I said, if parents choose to homeschool they ought to make sure their kids are getting a good amount of social interaction, and it sounds like your and many other's parents do. I said most homeschooled people I know, I don't claim that was an accurate representation but just something parents ought to look out for (I would also say you should be concerned about your kids social interaction at a public school). I said I would send my kids to public school because for me it is important to be exposed to many people of different backgrounds, not just religious but social classes as well--though of course that also depends greatly on the school.
As for the school for arts question, I am getting a degree in Creative Writing and I'm not fully content with my decision. It has certainly helped me in several ways, and has perhaps exposed me to certain things I wouldn't have found on my own, but ultimately it's not very necessary. One thing going to school for the arts does do, though, is give you an excuse to do nothing but work on your art for four or so years. Once you get a full time job, etc, then it's really a test whether you will have the energy to stick with it--after fours years it of focusing on it it seems like it will be easier than if I jumped into right after high school.

I'd send my kids to school just for the social aspect, but if someone is going to homeschool their kids they better make efforts to make sure their kids get out there and interact.

I suggest superbrothers : http://superbrothers.ca/
The discussion would of course be less geared toward technique and more toward the aesthetic of the pixel in art (in particular emphasis of the pixel rather than the downplaying of it)
perhaps the challenge would be something that encouraged traditional pixel artists to do things that "break" the pixel, so to speak.
