This is high art and belongs in a museum. I'm not joking.

I unironically agree. 2nd place looks more like a dog, but 1st place feels more like a dog.

Reminder a random pair of glasses on the floor of a modern art museum made a bunch of dumbasses think it was an exhibit.

Modern art is just money laundering, no shade at the artists ya do what ya gotta do.

The fact that 1st place could cite a credible source is what really does it for me.

Is this the actual ACTUAL picture or some sort of AI recreation based on the drawing?

No it was a person that recreated their children's images in Photoshop.

Well, the second place is more crafty, but where's the fun in that? There would be huge amounts of similar nice pictures in the competition. The first place makes me laugh and uses a way to look at the dog shape that I haven't seen before. I prefer this added value to perfect technique.

Honestly, I think it shows how throughly democracy fails to deliver what reality is and how feelings dictate the choices people make.

When it comes to art the goal is to make the person experiencing the art feel something. Whether that be awe, happiness, sadness, anger, etc. The 1st place winner gave me (and apparently most people) a more intense emotional reaction so it's better art.

Now, as for the skill level on display, the 2nd one obviously takes more skill, but skill is only one component of art and depending on your end goal it can be completely unimportant to the piece.

So no, democracy didn't fail, it delivered exactly what it should have in this instance.

I am cynical, or is it more likely that the winner was voted in fOaR Le mEMes? I'm not invalidating your appreciation of the second entry, I'm just sceptical that it was elected in sincerity.

I mean... memes can bring the same joy as art in their own way. I would argue that memes are a form of art anyway. A very accessible and universal type of art. If it inspired people to vote for it then they must have felt some kinda way even if it was just silly shenanigans

This might be true, but there's something about how bad this picture is that I don't think I could do worse. It's uniquely bad in such a profound way that it would require real skill to make something more universally terrible.

I think it's completely valid to vote according to your feelings. That's how you determine what you find important in those you vote for. Drawings are a form of art and the purpose of art is to invoke specific feelings in the consumer - apparently more people enjoyed the first drawing and voted for it, which is completely valid for a competition for "drawings"; it wasn't a competition for drawing skills, just the pictures themselves.

What I find much more problematic for democracy is misinformation, especially if deliberate by news outlets, politicians or lobbyists. They know how to manipulate feelings to get what they want.
