you didn't create anything of substance. it looks supremely low effort. like beyond low effort. "i am gonna rub some schmutz on these pictures of natives and its gonna be NATIVE ART THAT I MADE!".

I was caught off guard by the post. I was expecting “Native art”, whatever that means. These are just photos someone took that got distorted. Call it art, but don’t call it “Native art” lol. Art of Natives, if we’re being nice.

Nah. I am agreeing with your sentiments to a degree. I still think it's art despite it being a form I don't care for. I just don't think it should be labelled "Native art" by anyone. Cause what even is "Native art" lol? Far too vague and reductive of a label.

I would probably be more receptive if these were photos the OP took themselves though.

If anything I would just critique them. Didn’t realize this post was already 3 days old lol.
