Bucket of Blood

I found the Bucket of Blood movie we watched in class to be really interesting...and funny. I liked how it poked fun at how serious people can act in the "art world" sometimes, but also brought up some serious concerns of artists existing in any time period. The movie showed a man who desperately wanted to be an artist because he thought it would mean he was special, gain him respect and make him an equal among those he admired. I think many of us aspiring artist have similar wants and asks ourselves some of the same questions this movie brings up...Questions like, "Am I a real artist?" "How can I be a real artist?" and "What MAKES someone an artist?" The movie poked fun at different kinds of people in the art world, but it also portrayed some of the real anxieties and fears of aspiring artists. I myself have wondered when I can call my work art and how I can be taken seriously. Very funny movie...and very interesting
