Art / Anim / Photo -> Photography

Cloud

We have to face facts that no-one is talking about Art or Animation here.

Therefore I'm looking into new forums for these topics, and renaming this to Photography.

maybe crafts could be art/crafts as art is talked about there anyway.
As for animation why the hell do they not talk of it.....
maybe that should be popped in with anime/manga or something.

Although this forum was mostly photography there has been a few general art topics. So perhaps a general art forum which covers everything apart from photography?

EDIT: ah, I've just seen the new forums in the arts category, seems good, though I imagine many of them will be fairly quiet.

Well Digital Arts is just Photoshoppage renamed as per the moderators' request.

Animation may be quiet but if so it can be remerged with its parent.

Graphics in the Computer category is more for computer graphics hardware and software than graphic creation. We'll see how that goes.

perphaps the crafts forum could be changed to "arts and crafts" like Tar suggested so to include painting etc (i doubt we'd need two seperate forums for it, and the two go hand in hand).

Figment

Its the official end of an era.

i'm happy.Good work. It was 95% photography here so the rename is welcome in my books.

Whilst I agree that yes, the vast majority of posts here are photo related, I don't think art forms that cannot find a ready home in those other forums mentioned should be effectively excluded.
Perhaps, as has been suggested a general Arts forum could be made available?
Or, maybe a Visual Arts forum, or a rename to?

What kind of art forms had you in mind?

Shrimp

Yeah, where can we discuss art? is in paintings/drawings/trad. artists etc...?

snorlax

at the moment art is being discussed in the crafts forum, maybe the crafts forum could cover general art as mentioned above (painting/ drawings/ artists and crafts) if it's name got changed to general art?

Shrimp

Thanks for that snorlax. It should be changed to General Art!

What Shrimp says.
Maybe changing Crafts to Arts or maybe, as I've said a Visual Arts forum, sans photography.
