Quote one:
As I read “Is it OK to make art?” by Rhys Southan many quotes stood out to me and one line in particular that states “Artists often pride themselves on the uniqueness of their individuality, it doesn’t follow that they have something uniquely valuable to offer to society”, Southern speaks on the importance of art and the written word. Reading this quote shows that artists in southan’s mind only show what goes on in their mind and not in others. they provide the uniqueness of there thoughts but not the uniqueness of others. their main goal is unknown because we never know the real main idea of the Artists work.
Quote two:
another quote that created images in my head that made me contemplate art was “Artists paint the beautiful landscape in front of them while the rest of the world burns”, this quote while confusing conveys a brand new message about the way the production of art is done. who knows what artists see in the background of there paintings or pictures. while some may not understand what artists see it may be pollution is water, predators eating prey, the underlying theme of this quote shows how people portray art versus how the artist portrays the images they are produce.
Ryan,
You are getting at some complicated ideas, here. I’m curious if you feel the different threads took you in opposite directions. How would you reconcile them? I think you do a great job, here. Keep working on expanding those annotations. They will serve you well as you begin to draft your first paper.
