la théorie ne précède jamais la pratique_

“En art, la théorie ne précède jamais la pratique, ni ne la tire derrière soi. Ici, surtout dans les commencements, tout est affaire de sentiment. Ce n’est que par le sentiment, surtout au début, que l’on parvient à atteindre le vrai dans l’art. Même si la construction générale peut être atteinte d’une manière purement théorique, il demeure cependant “quelque chose de plus” qui est l’âme véritable de la création (et, par conséquent, jusqu’à un certain point, son essence) et qui ne peut être créé par la théorie, ou trouvé, s’il n’est pas soudain insufflé à l’œuvre créée par le sentiment.”

Kandinsky, De la spiritualité dans l’art et en particulier dans la peinture, 1910

Day 26: Art

Today’s prompt is to talk about the art created in your setting by those who inhabit it. Art is a broad concept but also can be very personal to the cultures and individuals who live there. Its an expression, an interpretation, a way of passing down a narrative or just a fingerprint of the lives that they lived to the next generation.

When thinking about the role of art in your world, remember that paintings are not the only source of art. There’s also writing, dance, sculpture, architecture, embroidery, anything that requires a personal touch. Art can create appeal to break out the monotony of pure function. It can be used to inspire in your world. A space colony with an artificial sky to remind its inhabitants of their roots as a planet dwelling race. Unique storytelling styles steeped in tradition passed from master to apprentice in order to keep the past alive in the hearts of those who tell it and those who hear it. A piece of clothing with a brilliant blue color that pops energetically against the red sand of a desert to demand attention.

With that, get creating, and GET BUILDING!
