Is creating art a great escape or diving in to feelings that real life doesn't present as potently as art?

Most art is not art. It's just an excuse for poor craftsmanship or drawing ability. These ';artists'; look down on illustrators, or other proper tradesmen (welders, woodworkers, etc.) But it is they who are lacking in skill, who need to hide behind ';feelings'; and explanations to ...explain their...';art';.





A picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words, not a thousand questions.





Self-proclaimed ';artists'; are over-paid and over dramatic spoiled brats. If they feel they have to create ';art'; that is more potent than real life, maybe they should try having a real job. Plenty of potency there.Is creating art a great escape or diving in to feelings that real life doesn't present as potently as art?
Or in other words: does life imitate art or is it the other way round? I often wonder myself.





It is a great escape, no doubt. But I'm sure real life is able of presenting deep feelings as potently as art, and even deeper. Nothing beats real life.Is creating art a great escape or diving in to feelings that real life doesn't present as potently as art?
I think that for the person creating the art it is real life, and I don't think it's an escape, I think it's a process of distillation.
I'm uninspired, mostly art is therapeutic for me. Plus, it is not a priority as of the yet.
