Failure Equals Art

One may ask “How is that art?” when looking at abstract fine art.  Many people do not know what to think of when they look at the deformed picture.  They assume that the artist failed at whatever they were trying to create.  Yet so many other people consider abstract art to be art.  Every person who looks at the picture sees a different image.  People have learned to appreciate abstract art for being unique and emotional.  Admiration is given to the success that the artist has created by these appreciative people.  An artist may create abstract art based on their emotional state.  If they have had a hard time such as a failing experience, the artist may create their emotions into a successful picture.  Pablo Picasso went through many depressing moods his whole life and turned his fails into art.  Fine artists are not the only ones who can turn their failures into success.  A poem can be considered a fail attempt to write a story, yet people appreciate the work as literary art.  A poet may also often write the best poetry when he or she is depressed and failing.  The poet can write about how he or she feels more freely.  Many people who read this poetry admire the poet’s success as well.  Failures can help people create successes such as abstract art and poetry.  Successes can also be found in art that appears to a fail attempt.  Have you ever failed at a project that became a success?

  1. This is a very unique way of looking at failure. I never even heard of this before! Good job on turing failure into something that has a positive outlook.
