Picture Art is no longer a job.

The quote-on-quote General flaw my Opponent has stated that I have generalised art, While I can see why, That is simply not true, Deviantart and tumblr had huge numbers in their prime, Tumblr had 748 million users, And deviantart not highest ranked of every art website. And you state that they are just 2 of the websites, If 2 of the biggest art sites are starting to fade, Wouldn't that mean that art websites as a whole is dying? Sources Deviantart: https://www. Similarweb. Com/website/deviantart. Com Tumblr: https://www. Statista. Com/topics/2463/tumblr/ My opponent also states that people buy art to decorate their homes, Design their websites, And see their ideas in reality, But this doesn't really change anything I'm afraid, An argument like the first one would require a source that says that people have new art rather than old art on their homes, As for the second one, The only art any website would need is a logo, And I imagine buying a template would be just as effective for any minor website, You also state that people could pay artists to see their ideas into reality, This is rather hypocritical considering you criticized me of generalizing, Because from what I see in commissions that reason is a minority. "Even if the art on these sites are based off preexisting characters, Is not each piece of art the creator's original work? If that were true, Anyone who has drawn a tree would be considered "unoriginal"" Considering they have a design basically already blueprinted, Its far from lazy, But I hardly would call it original. And comparing trees (which is normally used for background) is not a good comparison, Considering that is what most artists do when they practice. , You can't really research a design. "This contention is a simple analysis of the status quo. The Art Market in 2018 reported a 12% increase in total art sales after a small dip last year. Clearly, People are still appreciating and buying art. " you do realize tumblr and deviantart just started to collapse last month right? People keep leaving both sights, I expect next year is going to be more than just a "small dip" "The profession is changing and evolving. " Art Jobs reverting to the online web isn't really a counterpoint weather it is collapsing or not . "An artist is well paid for his work" while that is true, Once again, That doesn't debunk the argument that it is dying. to conclude my argument, I would like to state that pro"s rebuttals could be seen as decent in the voter"s eyes, Most of his arguments against the idea that picture art is dying is statements that have nothing to do with the current number of artists and the artists buying them. thank you, Have a great day, And vote Pro.
