Artistic Temperament

[nemomarlin]

How many of you have artistic temperament?

Moody, sensitive, likes to be alone, appreciates beauty and excellency, thoughtful, quiet, reflective, insightful...

I'm curious.

[•Lindsay•]

Yeah, I've got that. Kind of wish I didn't.

I'm an INFP... only two percent of the population are INFPs.

[rpace]

Couldn't the temperment of any artist be described as an artistic temperment?

I can be moody, but try not to be. I appreciate moments alone, but prefer good company.

I don't think you'll come across many people who'll say they don't appreciate beauty or excellence (even if they really aren't actually capable of recognising it). I tend towards thoughtfulness, have been known to reflect and have a certain degree of insight.

I'm in no way quiet, though. I'm loud, like to laugh and make others laugh. I find few of my peers tend towards the stereotype, but I think that stereotype is a manufactured one. Most of the great artists certainly couldn't be accused of having an artistic temperment of that sort. If they did, we probably never would have heard of them.

oh please

oh please

You took those one and a half words right out of my mouth.

[Ilaekae]

My cat ate my beret, and now I'm pissed...but in a sensitive way...

[Vhan Juju]

Well, I haven't been keeping a sketchbook very long, but.

I have to say yes to all of your questions, but not in the way that your describeing them.

I can bee insightfull, and have always been called "a deep thinkier" but my biggest choice that I was makeing this mourning was weather-or-not I would wear my life jacket (yes, like the ones you wear on a boat), one pant leg, goggles, and a black-N-white striped overshirt to SCHOOL today...hehe,

Moodey? sure, one minute I'm screaming at you about a new kind of bubble-bath I came up that doens't involve bubbles, and the next I get quiet without warning,

alone? sure, thats kewl.

Despite my, um, "wierdness" I'm always ready for a good conversation. I love the challange of engageing in conversations with older people, and when I'm talking with my peers I seem to have a piece of wisdom or two to share about my experiences.

So, Yea, I'm thoughtfull (not really moody) I like to be alone when I'm working, interuptions drive my crazy,

quiet, No, unless I'm listioning.

I'm sensitive, but I'll let you know by giveing you a hug and then literally stepping on your toes untill you ask me what I'm doing, then I'll tell you to stop acting sad and just keep worrying about your toes! "stay on em, and dance"

I'm wierd...in a artistic way...

[nemomarlin]

Yeah, I've got that. Kind of wish I didn't.

I'm an INFP... only two percent of the population are INFPs.

I am an INFP too!

[Seedling]

Aww crap, I don't have an artistic temperment. I must not be a good artist.

[Elwell]

Aww crap, I don't have an artistic temperment. I must not be a good artist.
Nah, you're not a good artist because you do it for money, maaaaahn!

[Seedling]

Nah, you're not a good artist because you do it for money, maaaaahn!

Hahahahahahahaha! :)




Ooh. . . hey. . . this smiley has seedlings for hair! :medusachow:

Describing an "Artistic Temperamant" is the same as trying to convince yourself why you were made or not made for another using the daily horoscope.

Wha.??..um.....doesn't everyone secretly do that??? :bashful:

:hugsmile: <3 :xpld: :skull:


lol ;)

[Penumbra]

I have a temperament...cause I'm human...I'm not really artistic though...I am an artist but I'm not sure that thats the same thing.

[Vhan Juju]

Yea, I was tring to blow the idea of my own "artistic temperment" out of the water....hehe lifejacket...ironic!

[Obsidian Glynn]

Yeah see I don't think that an artist has to be one thing. I think that an artist can be loud and have fun. I don't think they have to be dark and sensative. I think they just need a vision and some time to do it.

[Favila]

i have an artistic temperament, i mean, my temperament painted the sixtine chapel

[Vhan Juju]

I think they just need a vision and some time to do it.

I agree, throw in a little drive to become better and your starting to get something.

[Obsidian Glynn]

Exactly....You just need the willpower and a little talent.

[Vhan Juju]

I call talent the cultivation of passion :)

[Vermis]

I'd like to say I have an artistic temperament, but it'd only be an excuse for the fact that I'm an irritable little fart.

[thinairart]

What if I'm artistic and have a temperature? (100F at the moment, I really hate cold and flu season)

[Green-fire]

INFP?

I get pissed when I am in the middle of drawing something and somebody barges into my room, then I lose my complete focus and I do something else.
I like to be alone when I draw, that way I focus and "meditate" on what I am Drawing

[Jason Rainville]

I'm cool, calm, collected, inspiring, knowledgable, handsome, worldly, punctual, thoughful, smart, artistic, creative, kind, caring, I'm good with old people, I can sing, dance, my laugh sounds like a choir of angels, I....

[Renegade89]

Infp? didnt understood the acronym at first, the school counselor told me i was something like that back in highschool, never pay her attention anyways :shrug:

That whole thing with artistic temperament is just a stereotype, artists are people, with varied personalities and ways to be.

Being introverted means your an artist? not really, ART it what makes an artist not his personality.

[wickeddiana]

When you start acting weird and moody you can just blame it on "artistic temperament". People will forgive that.

[MiniGoth]

Heh. I'm so logical that I've been accused of being cold. Combine that with a wit like a knife made of dry ice...

[alesoun]

I've had a crappy day and I have toothache. If I post it in many colours and get the hues and balance right, can I blame it on being artistic when I have a strop?

No? Ah, well.......

xyg@typlnaAAAARGH!

[resonanteye]

I'm not really emotional. But I do prefer to be by myself. Mainly because people can be so dramatic about themselves.

Ugh, "sensitive"

[vux]

Hm, someone else here mentioned their Myers-Briggs type, so I suppose I'll mention I'm an INTJ. Which, really, is pretty unlike the gentle, feeling, beauty-appreciating "artist type."
My friends call me a robot because I'm so insensitive sometimes. :| I like to be alone and have my quiet time, but I can't understand people who feel rather than think and are overly preoccupied with beauty.
Because there's so many different kinds of art and goals with art, there's many different kinds of artists. Some of us do it to get out character/story ideas, some of us do it to make something beautiful, some of us do it to illustrate other people's ideas, etc, etc... so, you can't expect one kind of personality "type" to be responsible for all those different things. So the idea of an artistic temperament is kinda dumb. Woo, tangent.

Yea, I notmally get that across to people by yelling at them the first step they take into my room "I'm DRAWING!" and, thats all I'll "say" to them, they get the point :)

is this the art hotline?

Artistic Temperament?

BILL MOORE taught design. A very tough son of a bitch. His criticisms were scathing and ruthless, some students left the class in tears. There was an apocryphal story in the halls that one time he had disliked someone's work so much he burned it off the wall. Years later I was reminiscing about Chouinard with Ed Ruscha and he said that he was the culprit, something with old cigarette butts. If you got past Moore you knew design. When I got into the teaching business later on I recalled everything of Moore's class and attempted to replicate it, how wonderful to be on the other side of that experience. Moore hated Rose Parade floats, an observation that resonates with time and one I concur with, he had the ability to FEEL whatever you came up with, he was passionate about his subject and communicated that love and passion for order and 2-D design to his students.

Just keep in mind, Adolf Hitler was an artist too.

I find artists run the gambit, just like those 'other' people.

Personally, I don't like it when artists act like sadistic freaks and are impatient.....just like those 'other' people.

I've been looking for an excuse to close this ridiculous thread ever since it started. Godwin's law is as good as any.
