Artist?

I scored 50%, lol
Must be your artistic background, Kate

Wish they had a Journalist Vs. Blogger test.

Ditto 100% here too...although 2 of them made me ponder ;-)

I'll say one thing, the ape displays better color sense and proportion ;-)

67%

It's easy to get 100% if you know what to look for. For instance, a distinct pattern, circular objects, or smooth lines.

With that said, I think all 6 of those paintings have roughly the same aesthetic value.

i got a 83%. must be the ape in me.

I myself got 83%.

67% although all of them looked like they were done by apes. Looking back at the ones the were human did reveal slightly more symmetry and decreased randomness in comparison to the ape drawings. I wouldn't hang any of them on my wall.

Holy picture!! I only got 33%!
Does this mean I'm gay??

They were all done by apes. This was done by an artist: tinyurl.com/324c5o

I got 83%, too, and let me tell ya, I know art! I can stare at this piece for hours admiring the nuance, the depth, the sheer subtlety of it:

gallery.ca/cybermuse/search/artwork_zoom_e.jsp?mkey=35828

67%...this is art? Mind you the National Art Gallery would probably pay a big buck for them. Remember the so called painting with the three stripes that they paid a few million for? It must have been bought from a Liberal!

67%. I have always freely admitted that I had no visual sense whatsoever, although I'm not sure that that has much to do with this.

I got a 100% but I based it on not the artistic value but the location of the wrist movement.

if I were an art critic I would say , "the paintings showed more sparsity of usage of natures gifts and that the ape paintings showed economy without friviolity, power without political motivation , a demonstration of nature and apes inapeity to ape."

I scored 100%. The apes failed a visual Turing test. I think that's probably a good thing.

Whoops. Forgot ET hangs around here. I know what a Turing test is. I'm just using it as a kind of metaphor in this case. Just to save you a little typing.

83% .... damned dirty apes .

Nailed it, 100%. Must have something to do with sharing 97% of the same DNA but that's just a guess.

50% .... about par for my painting ability :(

IMO, whether it is artistic type of painting or juggling or stick-handling the puck or singing ... the real skill is in the brain.

The hard drive controls the vocal cords, wrists, image, ect.

Born with the gift. True ???

No Chump Change for Chimp Art

I`m pretty sure they were all done by apes, but the testers disagreed with me 50% of the time.

This is THE site:

83%. And to think I wasted good money on art classes. Should have gone to the zoo for instruction.

I got 100%, also. And like Alex, it was mostly from looking at the smoothness of lines and arcs/circles.

But I wouldn't call it art.

67%. Which means I'll never by an abstact in case Gonzo painted it.

67%

Reminds me of the guy who'd cover himself with paint and then jump into a jet engine blast onto a canvas.

Or the elephant painter. Hey, this survey was skewed, unfair representation!

Damn, maybe I will try the Lucy test.

I nailed it also. I attribute this to the 76 viewings of "Gorillas in The Mist"...thank you Jane Goodall!

Well that or the oft stated fact that I'm a confirmed knuckle dragger. Regardless...100 per is 100 per!

Syncro

I scored 83%.

I also like burnt toast.

Chuck,

Some art that you might enjoy.

Not surprisingly 100% in these quaters. The painters have a bit of structure to the mess.

Well done, Kate! I got 83%...I got #3 wrong..I thought it was painted by an ape!

I scored %100 but I think the apes were as talented as those artists.

Mistook the first one for a Brett Lamb; or at the very least a council for the arts contender.

100%. I don't know art, but I know what I like, and it ain't this stuff.

100%. And I don't think it says anything about you Kate. Though, I do think it is further proof that evolution is, in fact, correct.

Oops... apologies to spike and old spice for stealing twice used jokes.

83%, I mistook Jackson Pollock for an ape. Most likely I am not the first nor the last.

33% although I thought them equally horrible

83% - The ape artist got me ;-)

Ted Nancy:"... I do think it is further proof that evolution is, in fact, correct."

Interesting concept. So you think some "artists" are evolving into apes?

While I did score 100% I like the ape paintings best. ;-)

I won't tell you what I got, but I do have a ?.
What is an artist?

That seems rather presumptuous of you Vitruvius as the alleged art at the link you posted was created by a dead white male. He does get extra points for his presumed sexual orientation, but a piece of art created by a living member of an endangered species, especially an oppressed species fighting for human equivalency in a European court, is considered to be superior. After all, the dead white male who created the drawings you linked to had unfair advantages of excess cerebral cortical development and ability to make use of the recorded artistic accomplishments of other dead white males (time-binding is an addition unfair advantage made use of by homo sapiens dead white males). The chimpanzee's accomplishments are pure uncontaminated talent and (s)he/it will likely be in great demand to paint the ceilings of those churches whose congregations are enlightened enough to not be influenced by the perfidious ideas of dead white males.

I got 83% I'm pretty sure that's a bad thing.

I scored 100% too. It was really easy.

And if you don't know what an artist is I will be happy to sit down with you and explain provided you buy the coffee.

All in good fun of course!

Hilarious! Could you folks conform any more to your own stereotype?

100% but in all honesty I wouldn't spend a dime on this "art". Now the stuff that elephant puts out is something else... /sarc

Seriously, the interpretation of art or what sometimes passes as art is purely subjective. It is like beauty, in that it is in the eye of the beholder. My only problem is someone else paying for art with my tax dollars. Right now I have the opportunity to go down the road and see works by Van Gogh, Matisse, Renoir and such for a mere $7.00 or so. The art permanmently on display or brought in on tour are made possible by monies and donations from patrons of the arts. Do they get a tax break; probably, but then they could get the same break from donating to charity or a political party. Bottom line is that there is no government supported art "expert" with a Government of Canada Visa card on a spending spree.

Cpngrats, Kate! I scored 100% too.

I KNOW who the monkeys are, not just the artist wannabe ones but the political poseurs too.

So watch out, parliamentary primates!
