Quote - In my humble opinion, this statement overrates the value of a homemade mesh or object, in what concerns the creation of art, and underrates the combination and composition elements.

I would say originality and art are not about object creation. Personally, I could more easily call art to a scene that transmits an original idea using only stock content, than a common still life image full of normal objects whose meshes were laboriously and profissionally made by someone. Art is not technique and vice-versa. Personally, I've seen flower arrangements that I would more readily call art than a flower that someone created in some 3D tool.

In my humble opinion, originality lies not in an object, it lies in what ideas and emotions you transmit with it. And, for that, combination and composition are key elements.

 

Well said! :)
Sea shells, oil paint, or meshes, don't matter what the heck you use, it's what you DO with it, that counts.

If somoene despises a kid's cartoon because it's "rubbish that's not even art", they kind of miss the whole damned point.

I'll take Rolf Harris over a po-faced misanthrope, any day of the week ;)
