Being good at art lies in the ability to look at things critically and to be able to formulate a seperate meaning than what most would see at first glance.

There was an interesting mordern evolution of art in late 1800's that Pablo Picasso is famous for. Cubisum. All thanks to the invention of the camera. Before it an artists goal was to recreate realistic images. The camera forced artists to take their paintings in a seperate direction, instead of making their paints looks realistic, without brush strokes, they started to develope a style that made their art look like is was, a painting.

I think that artists like Andy Warhole made the next modern art movement towards photoshopping and distorting pictures, popular iconic photos. This form of art is really just repeating the movement picasso made by creating a different point of view for the viewer to see the popular image.

Whoever the artists, modern art is moving toward uncovering human emotions and feelings. It brings us to reality.
