Reading Right
What I picked up from this reading is that reading is important in every field even in the art field. As the reading stated that with contemporary art, there is a focus on being original and innovated. In order to do this and artist must read and learn techniques and works that have already been done thus making art history important for any artist to learn. Reading also allows for artist to discuss art intelligently with each other, an ability that is greatly admired by others in the every field. I think knowing art history and its iconography is important in enhancing the meaning in ones works because certain icons and symbols can be used to help the viewer understand the message the artist has placed before them. Also mentioned in the reading was how not over thinking ones work and create a balance between the analytical side and the creative side of the brain. With this balance is allows an artist can bring their knowledge and their intuition together in a way that allows them to put everything in to their work.
