Yesterday my husband and I visited our local art museum to see a few new exhibits they were having, including the “For America: Paintings from the National Academy of Design” collection. Here were a few of my favorite pieces, some are student art and some are from professional artists, can you tell which is which? (There are 3 student art pieces and 3 professional artworks in no particular order):

Hi! I am an artist, author, and blogger who also happens to have Asperger’s Syndrome. I have won several awards and honors for my writings and artwork. I suffer from a few severe mental illness and chronic pain conditions (Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Fibromyalgia, CFS/ME, Ehlers Danlos, Degenerative Disc Disease, etc.), which greatly affects my life and makes me want to advocate for others going through similar things. Other interests of mine include reading, writing, drawing, watching cartoons and movies, collecting toys, hanging out with my family, and annoying my 3 cats.

Aren’t they pretty? I don’t even tend to look at artist names, titles, or information placards, I just go up to what draws my eye.

I took a course in art appreciation from our local university, years ago. They taught to look without emotion. I found that art should test ones emotions. If you are only buying for asset perhaps this is true but why fill the walls without enjoyment of life? Ty.:)

Ooo these are fascinating. I especially like the crayons with bubbles underwater, and the last multi-coloured piece. Wouldn’t be able to even guess at what’s professional and what’s from a student, I think with art it’s often anyone’s guess! Thanks for sharing these, glad you made it to the museum to check out the latest pieces 🙂

Well, the two that you liked the best are student artwork! So guess you agree with me that sometimes they are better than the professional ones!
