Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    That's where you used to work right? I am memorized by that painting. Just for that I am coming to visit you! You will have to drive me to the museum, since I don't know how to drive. You are screwed buddy.

      You are right, aesthetically pleasing, but it’s the variation in art that is so essential isn’t it? I am going to probably hurt your feelings as well as Anon’s, but Rembrandt doesn’t move me, nor does he have that aesthetic appeal to me, but then again I am not an artist. I am more moved by the depth and harmony of colors, geometric shapes and the non-conventional human forms.

      You did not hurt my feelings but my respect for you has gone from nought to negative. That is all. No harm done.

      Edward Hopper is okay.

        I do not care if you do not like Rembrandt. It does not bother me at all, for you cannot name anyone who has as much skill in portraits as he does. Perhaps I am biased and I love him because I too personally devoted alot of artistic days of yore painting and drawing portraits, as opposed to developing my own style. Either way, I do not care.

            DaVinci and Vermeer were pretty damn skilled, wouldn't you say? I don't know that I'd really rate any of the three above any other, simply because their subject matter is so divergent, but anyway, carry on.

            I still don't know about Hopper. I just want to see a little comic blurb beneath his paintings. They don't have the kind of autonomy I like to see in paintings. It seems like you need an entire book of Hopper to really get the point. An individual painting should be able to stand alone.

              Rembrandts work is bleak and one dimensional. It evokes no feelings except those of monotony. Perhaps he mastered the art of capturing the human body in its traced detail; however in my opinion his portraits lack expressions or emotions. But as I've pointed out, I don't consider myself a prolific critic and certainly don't qualify to be an artist, so my opinion is probably null.

              I do like this one. As you can see... the familiar bleakness, but in this case it's accompanied by a feeling.

                That is where I disagree with your critique here. His portraits are anything but bleak. Au contraire, they evoke the soul, and he has done what many other artists could not, to capture the eyes and expression of the person. I guess the only reason I say this is because portraits are highly technical and to go beyond that and add on to it and capture the expression of the eyes and soul, is the skill of a true master. His use of light and shade, his detail, is like none other I can see, and for the most part, he is considered one of the masters of portraits. I suppose the reason I like him is because even in my endeavors I was never creative enough to develop my own style, but all I focused on was technique and hence why I like the guy and his work alot. In any event, he is not one of your Dali type painters that are all about all things not technical. Portraits, to me at least, have been the most difficult thing to learn, and it is no surprise that most artists stay away from portraits.
