I always thought the best strategy to earn money with abstract art is to make a few pieces, pay some ppl a bunch of money that they buy it from you for 500k - 2mil and then try to sell some pics for real.
Good intentions but im pretty sure thats not the best thing he can do with that money, im not saying that he doesn't has to donate it but, really is way more efficient invest it and make more, when that 100 becomes 1000 then he can donate those 100 or even more if he wants to.

Here's a real tip for ya. "People believe in their eyes" Supermarkets don't buy organic cucumbers that may look deformed because people believe they suck, however a manufactured chemically changed cucumber that has a great green color and has the perfect shape will always sell first off the shelves
Always has been. Look at Kanye and his clothing line. Look at the Met Gala. The ugliest shit ever, but because there's a certain name attached to it, "oh it's gorgeous." Full of shit
@@cloudshifterbut even or conception on what a “good cucumber” looks like comes from what we were taught; We didn’t intrinsically look at a deformed cucumber and go “nope, not green enough. Needs more chemicals”. Thats learned behavior from multiple decades/centuries of social engineering. We don’t believe the chemical-filled cucumber to be better because we “just trust our eyes”, we believe it to be better because we were told it WAS better so many times that now we innately believe it
Yes it is. I’m in this exact situation except I actually think about colors and textures. I hate when I paint trash and it sales before my best creations!!!😠😠😠😠. For some reason that really pisses me off.
Honestly you had so much fun, you should do it more often and hang up the pieces you like!!! I’ve found having decor you made yourself really brings a lot of joy to your home
@@shantakidd6230 yea ik, proving my point exactly, he trying to sell it as a challenge. it isn’t a challenge if he’s posting it on yt, ofc it’s gonna sell 💀
As someone who actually learned about how abstract art is made, yes it is hard to sell. A lot of people who made abstract art had to become famous through regular art first. An example of an artist who made abstract art that criticized this was Marcel Duchamp. His abstract art was famous but when he pretended to be someone else and presented his new work as that fake person, the media hated it until he published a letter that prasied the work. Abstract art also needs to have different factors like a focal point (negative space aint a focal point), balance, unity, space, movement, etc. It's called the principles of elements and design and that shit was hard to figure out when we had to make abstract art for class. So many students cried 😭
There are parallels with Duchamp’s story and how this video played out. It wouldn’t have sold if he didn’t post about it from a platform where he already had a following. Absolutely no interest until his own letter was published… But Duchamp’s actually starts an interesting conversation and this guy is just sacrificing the integrity of his video.
You can talk it fancy all you want. At the end of the day you and all your friends know that youre just doing it to scam rich people. You know that your art isnt anything special and has no meaning, but you still pretend like it does.
Damn bro I remember watching you back when you had less than a thousand subs. Didn't recognize you with the beard but glad to see you made it big. Congrats
@@WoahItsKobu the way I see it, in order for something to count as art, the artist needs to do everything purposefully. Every color, stroke, shape needs to have a purpose, even if the purpose is just "I like that color/shape/line"
Here's the difference - he has a RU-vid channel, and that's where his audience comes from. Where do you think professional artists garner an audience from?
No cap I actually like it. It looks like a happy person with open arms it's like the fun he had while painting got on the painting itself. I would put it in my office if I was a dentist or something.
This honestly is art. You made it out of curiosity and had a fun little time doing it. You expressed yourself and that's ultimately what matters at the end. Also, the charity thing is very awesome.
And what exactly do you think he expressed? Because I don't see anything, and the piece was only sold because he is known. I'm not trying to hate but I don't think that's art as much as I don't think putting a banana on a wall is also art.
Honestly this IS art, you had such a whimsical childlike wonder and joy creating it that the piece holds meaning, cause you had a good time making it :]
Art is all about expressing yourself and the act of creating, and as corny as it sounds, about having fun and enjoying what you do. Modern art is a valid form of art. The only problem I have with modern art is what it sells for compared to other much more skillful and delibarate art.
@matthewmaldonado9698 I agree. Art has been commodified in recent times to an honestly disgusting degree, with ai art and people thinking all modern art or art in galleries holds no meaning because of the reputation it has for only being made to be sold, not to express any personal feelings or hold any emotional significance to the artists experiences, or the experiences of the viewer. Art can be about lots of things, enjoying the experience and making something that you think is pretty or fun or interesting to look at, making a piece that hold great emotional value or significance to a potential viewer and the artist, sharing experience and empathizing with others through creation. I wish people could at least take meaning from examining the meaning of art in galleries, even if the meaning they glean from it doesn't resonate with them, it's still meaningful to try and understand the complicated emotions of others through what they create. And it's meaningful that every viewer will have a different experience viewing the piece, art is thought provoking by nature, and it sucks that alot of people assume most modern art is so shallow :[
I think the main criticism of modern art shouldn’t be that it’s “pointless” or “an effortless mess” (although in some cases it’s arguable), the issue is that auctions and other ways of commodifying essentially make it a matter of who has more prestige or essentially just a luck draw on who can make money from it
@douglaspantz read my reply to the other person who replied to me!!! I agree that modern art isn't all effortless or meaningless, it's mostly the publics perception of what constitutes as 'real art' But alot of people choose not to try to understand the process behind art or the possible interpretations or meaning of any given piece because of how art has become a commodity, I see lots of people making modern art out to be simple or easy to make without really considering why it was made in the first place, it discredits art as a whole to think that art is worthless or has no point if it's objectively simpler to make
My mom dose this as her way of therapy to help her relax in the house. And when i be looking at all of the canvases, they look like something from a museum. And all she dose is just splatter em on. I love it!
Keep in mind abstract doesn't always mean it's not made with intention, when most artists do abstract they already have an idea of the composition, colors, textures among others, even then it doesn't guarantee it's gonna get sold
Wrong. It's bullshit. You can look at a trash bin and enjoy its composition for free if you really like that. Everyone knows expensive art is just money laundering and tax evasion and asset transfer.
@@unheilbarabstract is a big umbrella term, you've got those rich schmucks who get away with selling garbage, or picasso (a person who could have easily done realism, you can see his other paintings) who actually knew what he was doing
Art isn’t just about how it looks, it can be about expression! And that expression doesn’t have to translate to the piece, it can just be the fun you had in making it ☺️ I think a lot of people don’t understand that
u can make art for urself and have it be meant to be shared with the world but to say art isnt supposed to be expressive and is meant to make other ppl feel stuff is insane, mf i make art for myself
Thats so cap lmao, art is about translating your feelings to the viewer, both process and result matters, my guy u never had any art education or mentor did u? Your view of art is so childish. What u talking about is called doodling, not "Creating art".
Ya know i think when you advertise an item on ebay you dont get any views most of the time, but advertising with your thousands of subscribers youtube channel isnt cheating at all...
@@fox.3223 Similar to how people review wine. A wine expert won a wine competition using the cheapest wine available just because he was able to create enough artificial hype around it.
Yea but this guy just kinda made with the idea “oh this is easy, it doesn’t even have to look good, it’s abstract” but that’s not what it’s about 😭 I hate it when ppl say “oh I could’ve made that” cus the beauty of abstract art is in the expression of the concept, not the technical execution
@@melonytoni9016 It jumped in price because he made a community post on youtube asking his 1 million subscriber audiance to check it out and apparently someone there had $100 to throw away.
You should have put down a layer of pain as the background and then gone crazy on that. Usually you want to avoid having exposed canvas unless it’s on purpose for the piece
As an art student, watching the easel poke through the canvas and slowly stretch out the piece was what was really killin me 🫠 Y’all all have a beautiful day!✨
@@sirnunyabuiz6529 they're not. cyan, magenta, and yellow are the actual primary colors. kids are taught red, yellow, and blue because it's easier to understand for little kids. go up to a color printer and look at what color cartridges it uses.
Abstract art is indeed difficult if you make ot difficult. It is meant to express the feelings or emotions of the artist without words. You can also do realistic abstract that gives a graceful or messy look to what your painting. Art is very underrated ❤
