You are right~ a rating is a question mark. A comment tells you so much more~ whether negative or positive ~and also can reveal something of the person commenting. I've been influenced often by comments, but a rating-- not at all. (Thank you, too, for the nice compliment!)

Critiques are sometimes painful but can catapult us to a new level of expression. Rating systems are another matter. They don't seem to be very helpful because (without comments) they just leave you with a big question mark when you get a low rating. I love your work. Wish I could do that myself.Oliviahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071470721846599914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23010956.post-1144789343781215812006-04-11T14:02:00.000-07:002006-04-11T14:02:00.000-07:00Hi Hammer,I agree with you.

One star is at least like, 'wow, I got someone to really feel something.' So I agree.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09309003249961068134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23010956.post-1144785566272241222006-04-11T12:59:00.000-07:002006-04-11T12:59:00.000-07:00I enjoy your art...The rating system, not so much....I enjoy your art...<BR/><BR/>The rating system, not so much...<BR/><BR/>I guess the best rating you could get is an extreme rating 0 or 5...the goal of art is to stimulate emotion...whether it's good or bad...Indifference would be problematic to a real artist...it means that he/she is not sparking any emotion...<BR/><BR/>keep doing good work<BR/><BR/>HammerHammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158589483955706818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23010956.post-1144689224951163632006-04-10T10:13:00.000-07:002006-04-10T10:13:00.000-07:00Well, being intellectual is not always the same as...Well, being intellectual is not always the same as being creative...so the two doesn't have to meet - ever.<BR/>Intellectual people are the ones who can stand in front of a piece of art and put fancy words to it - someone who is creative will skip that part and make it all happen.<BR/><BR/>That's the difference ;)<BR/><BR/>And dad was a professional artist, a cynical one...but he did very well. So his advice usually works, even if they are a bit unortodox at times...lolChristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674842290510443889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23010956.post-1144688974229179012006-04-10T10:09:00.000-07:002006-04-10T10:09:00.000-07:00Hi Christa,Thank you so much for your kind thought...Hi Christa,<BR/>Thank you so much for your kind thoughts on all this~ much appreciated. I feel better already! Not to mention that for some mysterious reason that harsh rating on my work went 'poof'~ just gone. Perhaps the person was found to be messing around, and all their ratings were dumped? Who knows, but I am pleased.<BR/><BR/>Your Dad was wise. I like that. But there is the intellectual side, and then the emotional, and never the two shall meet. Or something like that. I know deeply how right those thoughts are, but still feel bruised by a silly rating.<BR/><BR/>So your BTW comment is right on, too. Thank you.

Whenever we create something, doesn't matter what media you're using, we give away a bit of ourselves.Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674842290510443889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23010956.post-1144687775789625072006-04-10T09:49:00.000-07:002006-04-10T09:49:00.000-07:00It's difficult to grow as an artist from a rating ...It's difficult to grow as an artist from a rating system. I've been on Renderosity with my photography and fine art for 6 years now and I've slowly moved away from their ranking system since it's not really helpful at all. Especially when it's done without any comments.<BR/><BR/>As for positive/negative comments it's a work of art in itself to actually be helpful when you make them. Especially the ones that are not 100% positive. And we all have our own ways of doing things.<BR/>I've come to see it the same way as my dad did - an art critique is nothing more than a rejected art student who just never made it all the way. They know a lot in theory, but they have no clue how to get there ;)<BR/>And everyone will fit into that image unless they actually practise art themselves.<BR/><BR/>I think what you do is stunning because I would love to do it myself, but I lack the material, the time and the kind of creativity it takes. Instead I'm stuck at my drawing pad thinking about buying some of your work when I can afford it :)<BR/>Don't let that tiny amount of negative critisism get to you too much. Either ignore it or use it to your advantage :) You know it's not true anyway.<BR/>Now I'll take a look at Artwanted.com :DChristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674842290510443889noreply@blogger.com
