Mocing, An Art?
I have been considering this for awhile now, most of the people I have asked tell me no, building LEGO Bricks is not an art, not even if they are of your own custom design.
Well guess what, I disagree. I think it is just as much of an art as painting on canvas or sculpting from marble. Too many just assume that because lego is themed towards children, it cannot be viewed as a real kind of art. What an unfair stereotype, just because they are considered toys. If painting, even with watercolors is proclaimed an art, why not lego! Lego can yield just as much, if not more complexity, innovation and creativity as any other kind of art. Any type of lego medium can be complex, from the most basic of Duplo and Mosaic, which most consider to go hand in hand with art, to the most advanced of Technic/Mindstorms.
So yea, I just thought I would rant about this after being discouraged with people today. Your thoughts?
