And is this about existing art as well? Or just the creation of new art? ie, would questions about Degas be appropriate? – Beska Jun 18 '10 at 19:18

Too short a name leaves it wide open as to what it's about - making art, teaching it, sellling it, is this an ebay for art dealers, all of these, or what? S.O is quite broad, and a broad site on all aspects of art is okay. But i'd prefer an art-making focus, if I have a say. Hobby and professional, all media and styles. So I say it's gotta be "Art"-something, or paint-something, etc. Too bad "WetCanvas" is already taken...that's probably the main competition this proposed site. – DarenW Aug 2 '10 at 10:54

I second what @Pekka says. Too broad. While some people want to know about Art History, which is one of the great on-topic examples, some other people want to learn how to draw, or apply certain brush techniques, etc. Too broad. – JFW Aug 23 '10 at 3:55
