Chris,
I think that working from one's soul will attain better Aesthetic
results
than always making copies of models and expecting life to emerge.
That's like playing 'mary had a little lamb' over and over and expect
the
classics to emerge. You have to learn to swim before in get in deep
water
Of course one needs a good foundation before, in any creative endeavor.
I get the feeling that you really don't know as much about art as i
thought.

It's exactly what I'd expect an emerging punk band to be doing in
their garage
-- finding their own unique voice -- inventing the music that they
like to
hear - and then hoping there's a lot of other people who like it too.
But it doesn't quite address the challenge of making high art -
where artists
must be aware of -- no, even more --- artists must closely study
and compete
with canonical achievements of the past.
And maintaining something like a high art has been a real challenge
in the
visual arts over the past hundred years because the institutions of
Modernism
(museums and schools) have failed to do it. They simply have not
been able to
reconcile innovation with quality.
If you're not interested in high art, this would not be a problem
- but I
think most of us are -- with the exception of Cheerskep and Mando.

IF all of you would read my old paper back by Susanne
K. Langer, 'Feeling and Form' on the aesthetic experience as
presented by Clive Bell.
One would conclude, it's not in the object itself but
in our like mindedness
in our personal experience to it's related forms of
all sensed things.
At least, I am convinced of that, and why I work to
relate my forms in the
creation of what I do ,from my own being, and trust
that others will feel it too.
