 Art, like a [woman](woman.md), is beautiful and just like a woman it too often sells itself and becomes a whore, it is too difficult to find sincere, pure art like it is difficult to find a sincere love of a woman.
 
+**Art is about acquiring big picture view.** Doing something by following steps of some [algorithm](algorithm.md) is not an art: this is something anyone can do without any experience, creativity or making use of intuition -- even a dumb machine can do this. A process turns into art once it becomes largely driven by very complex decision making done by the brain based on years and years of experience and deep, interconnected knowledge of all the the possible what ifs. A filmmaker cannot just start shooting a movie without having a head loaded with good knowledge of how cameras work, knowing about composition, visual aesthetics, sound, music, colors, acting, writing, editing, doing practical effects, digital effect and many, many other things -- it's not possible to say "I'll first shoot the movie and I'll learn about editing when I get to editing" because editing has to be taken into account already when shooting the movie, the work can only be started when it's already finished in the filmmaker's head. One must know what's important and what to focus on, have an idea of how long something will take to shoot in order to be able to even do any planning, and, importantly, be able to improvise, make spontaneous decisions that will be GOOD, because unexpected things will happen and the ability to make the correct decision in such a situation REQUIRES seeing into the future, seeing the context, the consequences and costs of possible decisions. That's why a director cannot be just someone who knows how to direct actors, he must be someone who knows EVERYTHING about all parts of the movie. Therefore if you want to become a true artist in your craft, you have to learn everything around it. A [capitalist](capitalism.md) will tell you to just learn one thing and ignore everything else that's "out of your responsibility" -- that won't make you an artist, that will just make you a tool. When you want to become an excellent programmer, you can't just limit yourself to learning one programming language and ignore areas that don't interest you too much, claiming "you'll learn it when you need it". You must learn all the areas to acquire different angle views, to collect a set of tools out of which you'll be able to always pick the most appropriate one; knowing just one way means you have just one tool, like going to build a house with just a screwdriver. So go and learn as much as you can, do not overspecialize, do not think you can just know very little and follow a tutorial to make art -- you cannot.
