So you guys already know that I was struggling to find the tears for a while. I kept feeling like I should cry, but the tears wouldn’t come, so many times I found myself drawing crying eyes. I would cry through my art, because the tears just wouldn’t come. There are crying eye sketches all throughout my journals, my watercolor pieces, and littering the folders of my computer. These are just the ones I have in digital format, because I created them using the computer.
I almost didn’t post these, but I decided that I would open up this question and ask what you guys feel when you see this art. What about these moves you? Do you have negative reactions to them? Why? Do they move you at all? What about other art featuring crying eyes?
Bacchus and Ariadne by A. Turchi
Do you ever stop to really let a piece of art move you? Am I the only one that just walks on by, without waiting for the story that the art has to tell me? What if we paid attention to people’s art? What sorts of differences could we make as a community if we really observed, instead of just trying to keep up with the unrealistic pace society tries to set on us?
Let’s discuss this piece, Bacchus and Ariadne. What do you see?
