Courage is not the absence of fear, but it is simply possessing the power to show up consistently.
It takes courage many times to do anything, especially if that work will be presented to a public, and artworks are no exception to this.
Art for me is simply the expression of one's deepest feeling, and it is something that originates from the soul of a person, and it is only that person that is able to express how they feel on the drawing board using available materials.
From ancient times till the present day we have seen a continuous change in art based on human knowledge, and art has evolved over the years. The first images, or art images, were found in caves where people of old lived and inscribed drawings on the walls of those caves.
Based on the evolving nature of arts, it has become paramount for anyone who intends to take up a career in art to learn the rudiments that are involved to make a good artist.
Just like other professional occupations out there, art has rudiments, and based on the rudiments, we can call someone who has dedicated some time to studying the rudiments an artist, just like engineering, medicine, and others.
Although this is not to discredit those who practice art and have not learned the rudiments or principles of art from any school because everyone has a creative side in them, it's only just dormant in some people because they don't have interest in going into art themselves.
But they support and admire the works of others, and this is simply because people have diverse areas of interest, which is normal, and so you can see people who don't do the art, but they are able to relate to a person's work of art.
I personally don't think there's any artwork that is bad because, trust me, some of those people have real stories behind their paintings, which people are able to relate to.
Because art is an expression of one's feeling and thought, we can't say there's a bad work of art; however, it can become bad when the work is sending a message that is against public ethics.
For example, when a work of art is done to promote things that society frowns against, then that is bad art already, and the appropriate authorities have a right to ban such art or maybe destroy it if necessary.
Art is just meant to communicate the feeling or emotions of the artist, and as such, no art should be classified as bad.
On the flip side, we could have some artwork that people are not able to relate to so much, yet we still can't classify them as bad; they only did not catch the attention of the audience.
Once a few people are able to get an author's perspective, then that's okay because humans think differently as well.
