Quote 1:
“Though we may wish otherwise, art history does not ‘explain’ a work of art the way the Pythagorean theorem explainsthe relationship between the sides of right triangles.”This stood out to me because it reminded me that art doesn’t have one fixed “truth” the way math does. Instead of searching for a single answer, art history teaches us to explore multiple meanings and perspectives. My own art practice embraces this kind of thinking—there’s not one right interpretation, just layers of interpretation depending on who is looking and why.
Quote 2:
“Art history helps objects that have largely fallen mute to speak again… When we try to ‘explain’ art, to find a single, narrow meaning, we risk closing down possibilities for empathy with others and with the past.”
I connected with this because I create work that invites viewers to bring their own experiences to it. Art shouldn’t just be decoded; it should start a conversation. Thinking through art history this way encourages empathy and deeper reflection, which is something I strive for in my pieces.
I find inspiration in many things and many artists one artist that I draw inspiration from stan lee though not a typical designer his storytelling has inspired me to get into creating my own stories with my work as a graphic designer but also as a artist in general. I would like to learn more about artists in the graphic design field maybe they will inspire me further into my journey as a artist. One genre of work I would love to try is creating my own comic I have been always fascinated with superheroes are fantasy so I would like to try that.
