What do you think about calling MMD works, art? Because i've seen a lot of people, expecially on hate blogs, telling that MMD can't be art but i personally think that every activity that involves creativity is a form of art. Art is more than drawing on paper
oh!!!(///ˉ///✿)MMD itself isn’t art.Rather, it’s a tool. It’s a tool from which art can be created.If we want to get all technical about this rather than me setting off on a big long rant, we can look firstly at the definition of what art is!!!!(/‿＼✿)
According to Google, the first two definitions that appear are as follows:1. “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.”2. “works produced by human creative skill and imagination.”
The word used in the above definition is typically, but not always. It is not limited to painting or sculpture.…..Just like we would call music art, right? or something like makeup. Makeup artistry is a career in itself! Other examples of things often referred to as art are music, theatre, film, dance, etc. (´ ᴗ｀✿)
Another sentence I nabbed from wikipedia!“Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed and has changed over time, general descriptions mention an idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency and creation.”
-Does MMD involve imaginative or technical skill? It sure does! (・ω ・✿)imagination is essential for the creation and designing of new characters, designs, and ideas for pictures and videos. Imagination can be seen in the design and creation of unique renders, character models, and videos.Technical skill is apparent in how well users can pose, apply, create and manipulate lighting and effects, the list goes on. (╹ っ ╹✿)It can of course be argued about the level of technical skill required, but there is no denying that it does require skill to produce a high quality render or video within the program. (o o✿)-Does MMD stem from human agency and creation?It sure can! (・ω ・✿)Many people use MMD as an outlet for emotions, and also to express or convey an idea. Many creations with the program feature a message, or notion that the op wishes to express. Vent works and works expressing a particular view or feeling is very common to see. Often works depict a reaction to real life events. Works are created by creators, be it animations, edits or pictures.
From this. we can establish that works created with MMD can fit into the qualifications of what is generally considered in a purely dictionary sense to be “art” (/‿＼✿) However this is still subjective!! it does tick most of the boxes for me personally, but it varies from person to person..
Drawing a picture and making a MMD work are two very different skills. It’s like comparing animation and singing, or acting and dancing. Being able to draw and being able to MMD are different skills, using different techniques. They oftentimes don’t have any connection. Some people can do both, some only one, they often aren’t linked. So I think comparing them is…a silly thing to do… (ó ꒳ ò✿)
I think the argument people are actually trying to make but won’t say is that they think MMD requires less skill and effort than other forms of “art”, and therefore in their eyes cannot constitute as “art”.this alone as a reason is rather close-minded, I feel….there’s a lot I could say about that but I think it’s a story for another post (ᅌᴗᅌ✿)
You should believe what you feel is right!!!! I think art is whatever you want it to be, and whatever you feel is. What one person deems as art another might not. While MMD works can fit one definition of what is “art”, I feel like there’s no straight right or wrong answer!!! (ꈍ ᴗ ꈍ✿) I
One thing i think people can definitely stop doing tho, subjective or not, is telling beginners and kids “It’s not art and it’s terrible, stop trying” (ᅌʊᅌ✿) Because turning something like this into a weapon used to discourage people is a bad thing to do imo. (´• ᴗ •̥`✿)
