JL saidQuote: This might provide an answer for the question of another thread: Why are artists more liberal? Inherent in art (at least in painting as I experience it) is a comfort with, even an enjoyment of, ambiguity.
. It copuld be said that we manipulate reality. Ive always had problems whenever I volunteered to teach painting classes with beginners. The two areas Ive had were that
1Perspective is to be understood but is optional
2One can paint the background around the "Trees" in the midground.
Ive found that some people, no matter how many times we tell em, will always place paint on the board (or canvas) in precise layers .
"Pay close attention to ambiguity" , maybe thats what I should be telling em. :wink:
