Re: An Art Forum 'could be in the making'
While I strongly support this forum and brought up this issue before, I feel that at this point, subforums are not necessary.
I was talking to Ehsan Bhai about this few days back and told him that this will not be a forum for artist, but rather about Art and those who appreciate it and want to learn more. I specifically mentioned and have done it before too that this forum will be a very unique and good addition to all the other forums present. It is possible that a person is browing and spots this forum on this site and likes it and registers to take part in it.
There are talented artists on this website and then there are those who appreciate Art and want to see more. This forum will bring everything together and put it in one piece instead of a person having to post in General and ask questions there, or post in Image or Blog, and ask for help there.
This forum will not only be for discussing your own work and/or discussing work of artists around the world, but also to seek help about majoring in various fields on Art. This forum will without doubt give members here to discuss various aspects of Art which they might not be able to in other forums.
Having said that, I personally feel that at this time, a separate forum should do. After observing it, maybe then actions can be taken to create new subforums if necessary. This will also tell which field of Art is getting more attention and which is not; which field needs it's separate subforum and which doesn't. This forum can without doubt grow but in order to make it happen, we all must participate equally and appreciate it.
