Medusa character with a raygun and goggles. Text reads Art is the Consequence of Human Experience - science expeditionary force
Anyone can make art. Whether itβs βgoodβ or βbadβ is entirely subjective. But the ability to create is what makes us human. Art isnβt just images or words. Art is what happens when human. Itβs a quintessentially human thing. No machine can make it for you. Just start drawing/writing/singing/etc.
