Huh, I could have made that!

For those who are enjoying the Museum of Bad Art, there’s a Facebook group called Terrible Art in Charity Shops. I’ve wasted many a happy minute or two browsing that ?

Oh goody grannydarkhair I'm off to have a look......

We're on a theme here....... that black cow shouldn't be there; it should be back in its place and the 3rd row orange one should be down in the corner. I'm right aren't I?

Some of them are very rude aren’t they!

I've found an alternative site to the charity shop art works. It's where people replicate the painting in their own homes and there are some howlers!

The point if conceptual art is that someone thought to do it.
We can all copy it, but we didn't think up the concept. (Not that I want to dance in a circle with my finger up someone else's bottom)

I'm not so sure about that. My DD did Art at A level one project was to reproduce themselves in an unexpected way. She did a sculpture half was her own face the other she used DH old dissection books and depicted a dissected out half head of herself. I'm pleased to say she got an A. Shortly afterwards Damien Hurst presented the world with his dissected half head to great aclaim. She certainly didn't copy , her ideas were her own.

Well, I'm sure I'm wrong.
I usually am.
I haven't an artistic bone in my body.

Does your daughter still do art stuff?
I wish I could; it must be lovely.

Zeitgeist?

Sorry folks this is just too much thinkng for my poor under educated brain, so I will leave it with you intellectuals.

Wait for me!
I put the pink button down the bottom because it reminded me of a 'Space Invaders' game.

Terre vert is an oil paint colour beloved of art students in the 60s. Along with burnt sienna and rose madder.

Pink and white in my head does not fit. I dislike the combination. Therefore change to one green. If I could start a grid of my own it would be dark blue buttons with one random dark green

Are all the buttons the same shape/size? I've assumed they are.

Now I will choose all different shape/size buttons from your button box and then I can have even more fun. I'll weight the bottom left and lighten the top right! ?

So that design can have the meaning invasive.

You can start a grid of your own. You do not need permssion.

They are in the original idea. But it now appears that was just the start of an adventure in art.

Fine.

But can you be more specific please?

So what happens at upper left and lower right?

The pink one at lower left can be original.

The pink one at upper left can be imaginative.

The centre of the top row stability.

The one left but one in the top row as courteous

The one right but one in the top row as hostile as it is next to awkward.

Ah, the top row now has a meaning for each.

Ah, yes, Maw

? We've been to Button Moon
And followed Mr Spoon ?… ?

Are you going to show us an example of this Grid / Button art please SD?

This thread is like entering a parallel universe - especially on a hot day!

Chewbacca those re-enactments are absolutely brilliant! ?
What is the name of the website please?

My DD is still very artistic she uses her art skills in another way at work.
Her house is not a bit like mine or her siblings she can put things she found on a walk a fir cone, a feather and a piece of bark as a display and they look professional.
She seems to see things on a different level we all take her advice on paint colour etc.

I think of a lot of so called modern art as being produced by “ideas merchants” but not artists. Unfortunately these ideas often equate to an intellectual view of art that undermines a lot of real art. I love David Hockney who is able to “show” you things you hadn’t noticed before. This was evident after seeing his wonderful exhibition at the RA a few years ago where he painted trees,seasons etc. Ever since I have looked at the colours in tree trunks in a completely different way. There are other modern artists who create magic on their canvases. I would love any of their works but Tracey Emin’s bed would be something I would definitely pass on as well as some of her so called “art”.
