Where do you go to Discuss Art Online?

Yay! I was in the chat at the time in the video!

Great video Chris, and Hope for more to come

you both kinda have the same voice…

do you think anyone cares

Man, that is incredible. He seems to have just got up and went with it.

i think everyone could get something out of art like getting out stress or something.so yes every one could care

Can someone send me a link the directs me a website with some nice art?

BTW Nice topic grabbed my attention

thank you once again chris very helpful and interesting

i dont give a shiot if ur 1st :O

LoL. Brilliant. Got any music geeks in the family? :D

Welcome Aboard Adam!..
I saw some of his video.. His good.. seriously..
He knows his stuff.

Well, considering photography counts as an art form, I go to flickr.com to discuss art/critique.

Discussing art online on the web? Simple. http://www.deviantart.com this is an absolutely wonderful site that I use everyday to discuss and learn about art as well as new forms of art. I am very interested about your brother’s story how he got into live streaming and I will visit his stream.

Thanks for the blog post Chris!

Its kinda fun to watch his stream. Even if art is not my thing.

p.s. Is it just me or are the videos not working right? Every time I try to watch a video it says that its not aviable. But if I copy and paste the link into firefox it plays fine directly from the youtube site

My art forum of choice would have to be Deviant Art for a number of reasons. I’m not certain it’s a discussion forum more than a sharing one, but I would say art, for the most part, discusses itself. I have been an art critic since the age of 3, so says my mom, and I love to share art with others. I find that the best art tells it’s own story, it tells you what it feels like, it tells you what you should feel like. A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.

*goes to Adam’s site* Man Chris, you are too good! Already backed up with Adam’s own page… YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

I’m not a big art person. I appreciate art but I don’t have any artistic abilities. I watched a couple of your brother’s recorded videos on USTREAM. He seems like a really nice guy. I made him a USTREAM friend so I can follow him.

The internet has to some extent been a self selection way of exchanging information. The interests and passions that do not lend themselves to technology in the past have not found much of an outlet on the web. That of course has changed as media production and consumption have been greatly increased by the innovations in social networking and distribution. The ease in which artists and musicians can showcase there works has open their possibilities but of course the problem of standing out in crowd is even more pronounced on the web.

Its always a sweet deal when you can influence a sibbling into something good. So far all my sisters know about computers is how to find the pretty green button that turns it on and how to put up graphics on their myspace that make your eyes bleed.. but hey, at least they have stop sending the my little pony post cards….

so he was the one you visited when you were in Iowa… well Chris, I’ll visit his site… i don’t much interest in art but I’m into music because I play the guitar… anyways, nothing much to say so I’ll end up my comment here… thanks…

i like to do more tech shows on my stream but donno what to really say or do or get people there but oh well his stream is pretty cool keep it up and i heard ur old man was gonna do live streaming now

Some people say its not an art, but I go to http://www.hovercontrol.com to discuss the art of Flight Simulation, or more specificly, Helicopter Simulation. As a future pilot, it is most certainly an art to be able to make your simulator act like the real thing.

On the other hand, I used to be big on painting. I took several art classes and really enjoyed it but I noticed that you could hardly earn a living if you tried to have art as your primary job. I’ll try and drop in on Adam one of these days.

PS: What is your dad going to stream on, you do Tech, your brother does art, so what is left for your dad???

Hmmm…..I’m not an artist, but I know quite a few and I enjoy art too. My aunt is an artist, and I think that she will really enjoy your brother’s channel. I’m definitely going to tell her about it.

Hey, here is an idea. Why not teach art classes over the internet? You could have a secure live stream channel for people who pay your brother to learn how to paint. Why not even let the public join a class for free like a trial version or something? I think that would be really cool. I’m not an artist, but it might be fun to paint something though. Maybe even learn something about art or the history of art?!?!

I hope that you (or Adam) consider my idea, and good luck to you Adam!

usually when i want to discuss art online, i go to devianart.com, it’s a pretty interesting site that has message boards and allows you to post your own art on a social-networking type page. i don’t really do much art but it is pretty interesting to look at all this art, like just high schoolers who draw in their history class in their notebook will scan what they did and it’s just really interesting. they also have the ability to post stories they wrote. it’s basically just a way for people to share their ideas and express themselves better than just describing themselves on a facebook-like site that’s very generic.

such as:

interests: girls, music, movies, and girls

pretty much very generic but everyone usually has that. except of course if you were a girl.

He’s kinda like the artist version of you, you like tech and he likes art. What’s ironic is that I like both Art and Tech which is why I sign up for both Computer Science classes and Art classes and like drawing and programming.

I really don’t like Art. Like the Art you Draw, Paint, glue, etc. I don’t really know why I don’t like art. I just Haven’t been a artistic person. And when I found out that Art was a required class to graduate from my High School I really was dreading taking the class. Well it is almost the end of the semester, and I can’t wait to finish the class. So I don’t talk about art. But I do talk about different tech related things.On the Internet. On forums, and message boards. When I have a problem will post my problem and I seem to get a lot of responses rather quickly. So when someone helps me, I help others I look on the forums and look for questions that I can answer just as a way to say “Thank You”.

To answer the immediate question, I love to discuss anything art related on a little forum called. http://www.thephotoforum.com it is the nicest photography based online community I have ever come across. It has such an array of members ranging from young to old, with many different levels of photographic talent from people who just started clicking away on a cell phone camera to professionals that use tens of thousands of dollars worth of camera and lighting equipment. even people who strictly stick with film. Everyone is open minded, and nobody really acts superior to anyone else. If you’re one of the professionals, you treat everyone else as they’re on their way to your level, but in no way, inferior and unable to ever be on par with you.

The internet has got to be one of the best things to ever happen to artists. It exposes you to the WORLD, potentially. I think even eBay is a great way for anybody to try selling your art. My friend a few years ago, who really isn’t a serious artist and just likes to paint every once in a while, put her painting on eBay for giggles not thinking she would sell it. But sure enough, some one out there liked it and bought it (I don’t remember for how much, but so what, it’s gratifying just knowing that someone likes your stuff.)

My favorite site for online art is deviantart.com

Despite a recent influx of some arguably less desirable elements in the last 6 months in certain sections, it has submissions from professionsals and amateurs alike, a huge array of categories and styles, an endless selection to surf through, and a very friendly user interface. They are a home for both standard, and web based, art projects – everything from photography to interface mods.

It is one of the 12 web sites in my seats of honor upon my speed-dial page in firefox (right next to ustream in fact).

at adams website it says

Registration has been disabled.

I was hoping to see something lol

nice one hope things go well for him :)

Does anyone know where I can go to discuss classic Futurism in the Italian vein? I’m looking for Futurist communities for ANYTHING in general, really.

I’ve never been a real big fan of art. While I’ve been to a art musuem, a lot, I don’t find it real interesting. If its paintings, skip past me.. if its sculptures, keep on walking. If its Photography. STOP RIGHT THERE! Photography is an awesome way to express art. And, with the current low prices of GOOD digital cameras, anyone can be an artist in one form or another. With some quick training, or even just looking at others’ work… you, in a matter of a few hours, can be good enough for a state fair. I know several people who have done this. And a few have went on to take Photography courses, and 2 have even take it to a higher level and made it a career.

i no why does it say that on the site ?????

You’re a pretty good artist yourself Chris. It must run in the family.

lol i remembered when the chatroom first saw Adam. i was watching live, and were were like: “who is he?” “that’s not Chris..” or “what’d chris do to his hair?”. anyway, the first time adam streamed he immediately showed us his artwork and his tatoo(which is considered art imo), which really shows his passion for art.

It´s nice that you promote your brother Chris. :-)

I still can’t get to his site :( chris unblock him from your server! lol

My sister is currently in her second year of college and her art major and she’s almost as much of a tech geek as I am. However, a local artist has his own website and I often discuss his art ventures there, even though I’m not the biggest art geek. Then there’s also the Creative website, which publishes it’s own art editing software. I believe that they have their own message board.

I’m not really into art to much… I can appreciate art, but I don’t really do anything art related online. I’ve heard of art communities like DeviantArt, and I visit NewGrounds for flash games and movies. NewGrounds is a flash artist community I guess, so I lied. But, I still can’t contribute to those artsy communities because: A. am terrible at drawing lot’s of things and B. I just don’t have the will/passion necessary.

On a “techy” note, adam.pirillo.com redirects to this:http://www.lockergnome.com/wp-signup.php?new=
So, I would have said something about Adam’s blog, but it isn’t working…

I’m an artist that was trying to start my own Ustream.TV business through Leona’s Crafts, my only issue is that I have a fear of public speaking, but soon I hope to get my business off the ground and actually start streaming live, except I need get a working computer that can handle the internet. LOL

DeviantArt is the place i use to Discuss Art… It’s a great community of people that love art.

I think it’s fair to say that as an art form Photography has benefited hugely by the creation of the internet, even more so now with higher bandwidth getting to more people. The ability to flick(r) though hundreds of photos by any non-professional or professional photographer on the globe was literally impossible before the internet plodded along. But not only are services such as Flickr, Picasa, Facebook Photo App, allowing people to see what other people are shooting, but actually giving people the opportunity to shape how to the viewer or the creator perceives the world around them. When ever I post media online I always ask for comments, responses, criticism’s, suggestions because I want to see how people are perceiving something I see. Does this look, sound or feel the same for someone else? People prefer this, so lets do more of that! Things like that, are what I am thinking when I’m producing and creating media for the internet. If you can call it art…well art is in the eye of the beholder.

Back to my other idea of an online art class. Seriously I think that it would be cool.

All of Adam’s students could have a video conference with Adam and their paintings or paintings in progress. Adam then can give them tips, start on another project, or even upload some of his student’s pieces of works to a website. Maybe eventually selling some of the pieces. Why not? Is there anything like this out there right now? If there is, how can Adam improve it?

That’s cool that you got your brother online. I always enjoy art and learning about art, and Adam does a good job at it. I watched some of his recorded shows, and maybe he is just as good as you!

on the furthest thing from an artist and have a ton respect for artists. This is definitely a good idea though. A way for artists get together and interact in real time. Think most of them are currently using different slaked forums.

deviatart.com, renderosity.com are my favorite places to discuss art online. Both communities provides usable constructive criticism with a friendly atmosphere.

Thanks for the Tip I will go visit your brother every once in a while. Personally ill discuss art with my mother, and ill discuss gaming with my cousin, thanks though!

Another place to discuss art is deviantart.com I am some what interested in art and i will go and see your brother on his stream.

man i cant believe your bro got hopelessly addicted to live streaming
but that is funny

Adam Pirillo PWNS!

Adam is very cool and funny, i’m guilty as charged, i have been on his Channel ever since it was made, it is good to know that there are more geeks around the globe that aren’t tech geeks but art geeks. i want to be able to talk with a all sorts of people, it’s fun to talk to people that shares the same interests as yourself but it’s more fun to talk to people that don’t cause you can learn new things and i love learning about new stuff. adam.pirilllo.com doesn’t work yet it seems like.

I frequent DeviantArt and love it. I’m not much of an art buff, but I manage to find some great pieces at DeviantArt as far as desktop backgrounds go :)

I liked the idea of the live stream, but no chance for me to catch it actually live while I’ve tried three times.
Deceptive Media, Productose, Camera80, Retro Thing, Shotzz, Top left pixel are some of the sites I like for my online art needs.

That’s great that Adam is starting a live stream! I’m not much of an artist in the traditional sense, but I’m into a lot of “modern” art, such as photography, videography, and web design. I’ve never really thought about joining an online community about these topics, but I’ll definitely check out some of the links posted in the other comments.

That’s awesome that he is streaming now. When I feel like discussing artwork, I usually hit up deviantart due to the population and support you get from the community. Adam, I hope you have a wonderful and successful career, your art looked amazing from what I saw on the stream. :)

I go to deviantart.com for my needs as an artist. Deviantart is an awesome community where you can share your art and even sell it using their built in services! I love it!

The Best… Absolute Best is Deviant Art! They have every single kind of art and artist possible. That’s http://www.deviantart.com

I thinks its cool that your brother is now streaming too chris. The Pirillo Bros on Ustream Live. Now anyone who is interested in Art can watch Adam. Hope his streaming is successful.

As other people have mentioned before, I also go to DeviantArt to discuss art. On that website, there is every kind of art you can think of. What I like most about it is if you like a certain individual’s work, you can visit their profile page to see when they come release new content.

I have watched Adam’s stream a few times. I really enjoy it. I especially like that painting the made.

Awesome!

Go Adam!

I hope I cane eventually catch one of his live streams. As for the question, the only art based website I’ve ever gone to is deviantart, it seems like a nice community over there. I wonder what Adam’s ending line will end up being :P

DeviantArt is the best place to go to discuss online art! It’s the largest community I’ve seen too. You can post all your works there, and add friends, and have people review your entries too. There are other places too like yaXay, WebDesignTalk, etc.

I don’t discuss art online, maybe I look after new music and such but really art? No
Maximum is that I look some tips how to décor a room or such on videojug

I think that is pretty smart of him to have such a thing and i hope it will expand in future, because i think art is another way to express your emotions, to feel proud what you accomplished and just great activity but as now you can discuss about it online it’s even better because you will great ideas from all around the world and improve your skills.
Great stuff

To be honest I never really discussed art online before… however your brother is sparking some interest for me in the art community.

I am not very passionate with art discussions.I love any kind of art
but I don’t really know what to talk about it.I heared Deviant Art site would be a good place for those who talk about art

Deviantart is an awesome place, great community and artists, and one of the best places to find wallpapers, app skins, and other customizations

I’ve never really considered that there are avenues to discuss art on-line, I guess it is only logical that there should be.

I usually go to deviantart or there are a few usenet newsgroups that I frequent that discuss various types of arts.

I saw some of Adam’s art in one of Chris’s videos, and wow, that guy’s got some talent. My dad paints and does pottery, so it’d be cool for him to get involved in some online communities related to art.
