Expressionism > Impressionism

When it comes to art, creativity comes second to skill for me. I really don't care if you're not technically good if you're creative. This is why I like expressionists more than impressionists. Drawing something that's already there isn't that amazing to me. Sure, it's beautiful, but it's not creative. Expressionism is a way of showing thoughts and feelings through painting - Painting what you feel rather than what you see.

Creativity is the more human part of artistry in my opinion. Monkeys and dogs can learn skills and become technically good at things. Machines are also technically good at things. I don't wanna be a machine. I want to be creative. I wanna show my soul (that's sounds corny haha.)
