This is a chicken and egg thing...
Imo... depends on what side of your brain you work best from...
Do you perfer structure, chaos, or balance...
What ever it takes to find your happy place
Take rembrant, and vangogh
Basquiat, and warhol
Hell, take hunter s. Thompson and the new york times
Ts elliot, and emily dickenson
I could go on, but wont...

I really like what Becky had to say. There's value to learning proper technique. I'm all for flying your freak flag but there's a reason these techniques exist and to thumb your nose at them completely is ignorant. Why wouldn't you try to develop your technique, learn the WHY behind the "rules" and armed with that knowledge it will only help your art develop, rule breaking and all.
Amy, I think the difference is the people you are naming are all examples of genius. So for them, their art is so innate that they sort of exist outside the box of most? However, I truly believe MOST everyone, genius or not, benefits from ongoing education in their field.

I always regret having opinions once the insults start coming. I'm not ignorant...I was pointing out the opinionated rules where people insist some things are just wrong. I'm not thumbing my nose at technique either...I never said technique was bad and to forget it all. I'm just saying...oh never mind.

Used them for structure and chaos example...
Warhol, graphic art, pop art, culture obsessed
Basquiet, street art, abstract, surreal, flowing, outsider art
Rembrant... perfection and realism
Vangogh... expression and color
Hunter s... gonzo, crude, abstact and surreal
Ny times... dry, structured
Elliot... free flowing, not concept on rule in writing
Dickenson... very rigid and followed strict pentameter
Yes education, very important... as is structure... for me... but I'm also a natural artist... right down to temperment. I have degrees in fine arts, licnesed in aesthetics But... created before I could read...
So, again... chicken, egg... chicken, egg... the process is different for everyone.
I've seen elephants paint self poitraits... and land scapes... just don't know... and then there are savants, and those uncapable of intellect... art, creativity... the brain... its a lot to try and pin point into definates.

Bree, I do agree... education very very important.
Aslo agree learning technique allows you to develope your own style...
Ive met so many natrural artists though... who just get it.... with out knowing that its stylized... and its remarkable...

Hannah, if you aren't saying those things then don't be offended, girl. I'm not saying you, or anyone else on this thread, is ignorant. It's cool.
I totally agree with you Amy about innate ability. I guess I go back and forth.
Maybe a clear example of this is singing. You need to start off with a good voice, but that alone won't put you on Broadway. (I'm using that as an example because recorded music is so distorted now and *most live popular music isn't really "live") You need to train your voice and breath control, even posture blah blah, but you need to train at the art to hit and sustain high notes, to not strain your vocal cords, to learn to project your voice, etc. The artists own sound should be allowed to be shown in it's best light this way. Idk. I was thinking of this today, just about singing, regarding Idina Menzel. She has such a singular voice, it's kind of atypical, a bit nasal-y, but she does employ the techniques of her craft. So she's learned them but has her own sound.
