0:30 Huh... really? I'm seeing a whole bunch of rug makers on youtube that would beg to differ. And a whole bunch of commercial rug makers that would also beg to differ. And they likely all started by watching someone and thinking... huh, that looks easy I bet I can do that. But rather than having some pretentious artist snort... "ha...No you can't... I know you can't" they set to work and showed they could. This is the problem with artistic pretension... the idea that somehow you're so special and different, and can do somnething no one else can do. Rather than snorting and saying no you can't... how about... Yes, with some effort and practice you definitely can... it just takes a little time and work. Now, I will give the benefit of the doubt here. This is a 4 minute short piece and maybe if you sat down with them, they actually would be encouraging and give advice and pointers, but in the community I do see far too often the type that say "no... I am an artists, this is not something you can learn... I have a special gift and you can't do it." And 99.9% of the time, thats nonsese... the vast majority of creatives are a byproduct of hard work, not "talent". The 0.1% of people (probably more like 0.001%) that truly have talent, still require hard work to get them there, but that "talent' takes them above and beyond anyone else in their field. A better way to see it is in athletes, two people can train just as hard, one will go on to be a gold medalist, the other wont even qualify. Yet that person who didn't qualify will still be light years ahead of the rest of society who do not put in the work. Art is no different. I don't disagree talent is a thing, but talent just seperates hard workers, from the exceptional... And most art, especially commercial art, like this rug (no matter how nice it is) is just the by product of hard work... and encouragement from those whose work they admire. Seen far to many potential creatives squashed early on by pretensious creatives.
The 'No, you can't' is the gauntlet, implying that, if you can, you will have truly accomplished something that few would fully appreciate in terms of labor. This artist defies you to excel. 'Problem with artistic pretension'. Do. Tell us all.
@@macswanton9622 Yeah, you hear that excuse a lot, I am being negative or dismisive to encourage you. Problem with that idea is that without context, its not a gauntlet, it's just what it is, negative or dismisive at best... at worst, it's a genuine belief that you can do something someone else couldn't do. No you can't... it's taken me twenty years of study, training and hard work to get here, if you think you can do it, show me what you've got. That would be a gauntlet defying you to achieve something. While also pointing out what it takes to reach a particular level within any discipline. While also helping others appreciate what it takes to get there, why people get paid the money they do for their successes, no matter how easy they make it look. Encouraging others to take those first steps, rather than shuting the door in their face. And I think defending the behaviour with such outdated cliches just adds to the problems of artistic pretention. But then some how I don't think I'd need to all. Maybe just those who need to hear it, or defend it, but more importantly those who might take such comments or outlooks seriously.
OMG! what a face what an arrogance. these kinds of people can give anything to society. In this postmodern world, every person can do what you do. This 'artistic' arrogance does not work anymore.
Them dudes being that pretentious hahaha bro just put me in front of that big ass canvas and give me a pneumatic gun, everybody if not the vast majority that makes rugs with a tufting gun would be able to learn how to handle that kind of gun, adjust the length of the yarn and shave it so you can achieve something pleasant for the viewers,

Hi sir can you talk me . the gun model number
ya'll sound way too pretentious and are part of the reason why a lot of art students feel discouraged from learning new skills
