Favorite medium in art and why?

If possible why and what medium do you hate?

Video games.

Because not only do they include drawing (graphics), sculpting, music, story writing (ok most game stories suck but still) but they have some vague things only gamers can appreciate like "level design" and "player/enemy interactions" and such.

Oh yeah, and you actively participate in the enjoyment of them.

I don't really HATE any artistic mediums but a lot of "abstract art" comes close. But then, there is some really good abstract art, which makes me think that I don't hate the medium so much as the fact that a bunch of hacks make a bunch of shit within the medium and call it art.

I've never been much of a fan of paintings, in most cases. Sometimes, rarely, I'll see one that catches my attention, but the extent of my reaction might be "Ooh. Neat." They just don't speak to me, I guess.

Favorite medium would of course be music.

I'm assuming you mean materials and not "types"...
Pastels, because I can work with them without getting a migraine.
Least favorite is acrylics because they give me the worst headache of all

My favorite medium for sushi is naked geisha.

Honestly, I don't have a preference. There are so many wonderful books, movies, radio programs, paintings, music, sculptures...etc., anything you can think of, really. I guess performance art doesn't really do anything for me thus far, but you could broaden that to physical art like dance and such and then we're back at square one.

fuck stipple painting

in it's ASS

Favorite is music because the possibilities are so practically endless. I don't hate any form, but it takes a damn good poet to move me.

i'm also going to assume you mean materials.
favorite: i love way too many. actually i basically love everying except water colors. there are so many different things you can do with so many types of mediums. so i love them all. least favorite:i'll go with water colors...b/c that is the one thing i can absolutly not get the trick of.

Favorite to do: 35mm black and white film, printed conventionally

Wish I could do: Sculpture (alabaster, marble, stone)

Least favorite to do: Painting (I suck)

sound comes in first.


printmaking and video come second

i also love photo montage. that's what i do. mixed with other media (prints amd text, mostly)

favorite: food - ie: creating a new dish, and putting it up in the most gorgeous presentation possible.

hate: food - ie: when someone tries to make a "sculpture" out of mashed potatoes =p

HELL YES FUCK THEM
