That's right, I have all the answers to your excuses about your art skills!

| Keith Haring |
"I can only draw stick figures."
Keith Haring's art work is in many museums.
Claim that your stick figures carry a deeper meaning and you can call it art.
 |
| Jens Haaning |
"I can't draw anything."
The Danish "artist," Jens Haaning, can't draw anything either. You're in good company.
 |
| Picasso |
"I draw like a child."
There is a museum dedicated to Picasso in Barcelona, Spain.
 |
| Jackson Pollack |
"I'm too messy. I can't make anything look good."
Pollack's art is in museums. Your point is invalid.

"My art is shit."
I like to call this piece, Pootin. This stinker made art with his dog's feces.
He made it to raise money for the people of the Ukraine. 🖤
In the past Picasso used his daughter's to make a piece of "art."
This medium is amusing and absolutely disgusting. Also not inspirational. Sorry.
Everyone values artists that focus in hyperrealism. Hyperrealism is impressive, but the artists that are deemed masters tend to be the most ridiculous. When I think of the art world I can't help but think of the childhood folktale by Hans Christian Andersen, "The Emperor's New Clothes." Art is subjective, every artist has an audience. If someone does not like your art, they are not your audience.
I am grateful that I went to museums when I was a kid. Those experiences formed how I look at art. I was not impressed by some artists, while others inspired me to make my own art. I remember that some of the art in the museums looked like my own kid art at the time, and I thought, I'm already a great artist! 🤣
Expose your kids to art, the good, the bad, and the ridiculous. It gives confidence and armor for the people that want to discourage budding artists.
