I have difficulty
expressing myself through writing because I feel like I can never convey
through words what exactly I want to express, but I felt like this statement
from the article answered for myself why I’m at Tyler. “Whether you are among
the observers of the producers of art you have selected to engage in an
activity that offers neither guarantees, nor defined measures of value nor
supervision nor even a definition of itself.
Yet compensation is granted. It
comes in the form of unfettered freedom and the opportunity to enrich human
experience through your efforts”. I
connected with certain parts of “In the Making” but thought it was a little scientific
and analytical at certain points, which bothered me. Her vocabulary was a little stiff and
formal, which was unsettling to read because it’s like she was trying to
scientifically break down the artistic process I guess to explain to others who
don’t understand?
She gave good analogies throughout though,
like describing a work of art’s life span from it’s inception, gestation in the
studio to it’s delivery into the cultural arena. Overall, it was enlightening to see how far
we’ve come in the art world from the controlling guilds in the 1300’s to the
artistic freedom we have today.
