The Worst Type Of Art In The Art Community: TRACING ART. Content Warning.
It appears that artists have developed a sudden fascination with tracing, leading to a new trend within the art community on platforms like TikTok. Now, artists are sharing videos where they ponder whether their art process could lead to backlash, depending on whether it falls under the "good" or "bad" type of tracing. Let's delve into this topic for a moment. I find it somewhat puzzling that this has become such a contentious issue, but it's important to assert that tracing is not tantamount to cheating. In fact, the realm of art doesn't really have definitive rules or strict guidelines, nor can it be strictly categorized as right or wrong. Within the art-making realm, there's no concept of cheating. Tracing is a valuable skill worth cultivating, especially for beginners. It's a considerable time-saver for projects and an effective tool for achieving specific visual effects. Nevertheless, a word of caution: while tracing is a useful tool, relying solely on it can hinder the development of your personal style and create a stiffness in your artwork. Don't neglect the practice of drawing and manual creation; this is where your unique style evolves. So, while tracing should be part of your toolkit, it should not be a crutch. It's worth contemplating whether one can truly be considered a master if their prowess solely relies on their tools. Now, let's dive into today's topic. Welcome back to my channel! Today, we're going to discuss the practice of tracing. I understand that opinions about tracing vary widely among artists. Some view it as an integral part of their artistic process and an essential skill, while others dismiss it as cheating. Let's explore this subject further.

Two Popes: Reform In Church
Two Popes is a film that can be read in two levels. These two levels are not independent of each other; one of them is about the film's narrative on Christianity and the other one is about the way the religion has evolved in today's world. Christianity is one of the most closed religions with its clergy and the power of the church as an institution. The institution of the church and the clergy have been closed to the outside world for centuries, maintaining a secret existence within itself. This existence is a hierarchical structure with strict rules and rituals. Through two different Popes, the film raises questions such as the necessity of change, the need for change, whether the church should be reformed or not, and whether change is possible in an institution that has been rooted in a certain closedness and rules for centuries.

Neoformalism ; film as an aesthetic system
David Bordwell acknowledged a broader filmmaking tradition in his 1985 work that was centered on European art and modern cinema from the 1950s to the 1970s. This tradition posed a challenge to the classical film style. In his book Narration in the Fiction Film, Bordwell explores the relationship between narrative structure and cinematic form, arguing that the way a story is told is just as important as the story itself. With his wife Kristin Thompson, Bordwell introduced a methodological approach in film theory known as neo-formalism. He has also been associated with cognitive theory of film narrative. Bordwell has drawn inspiration from the Russian formalists and earlier film theorists like Noel Burch. Kristin Thompson has employed the neo-formalist approach in two significant books. In her extensive examination of Sergei Eisenstein’s Ivan the Terrible (1944), she examined and assessed the contributions of the early Soviet Formalists, who primarily focused on literature but also covered film in their interests and practices. Furthermore, in Breaking the Glass Armor, Thompson presented an illuminated description of her neo-formalist method by analysing films by renowned directors such as Godard, Hitchcock, Renoir, Bresson, and Preminger.

Calendar
calendar, any system for dividing time over extended periods, such as days, months, or years, and arranging such divisions in a definite order. A calendar is convenient for regulating civil life and religious observances and for historical and scientific purposes. The word is derived from the Latin calendarium, meaning “interest register” or “account book,” itself a derivation from calendae (or kalendae), the first day of the month in the Roman republican calendar, the day on which future market days, feasts, and other occasions were proclaimed.
