Why Did You Do That?

Explaining your thoughts.

Artists draw and paint and perform and compose and write trying to express their personal feelings and thoughts. The books are published and the painting hung and the music played or the dance performed.

Are you ready to explain to someone else why you did that?

Reviews and critical analysis and opinions and critiques are made of art everyday. There are columns and publications and blogs giving someone else’s thoughts of the art.

So if someone asked you, “Why did you do that?” could you explain your art?

First you don’t know anything about the person asking the question. Each person has a different background and experiences. Each person can

Second the art itself in it’s own presentation should relay your ideas. Why does it need further explanation?

Third do you remember the feelings or ideas? Have new experiences changed your interpretation of an earlier work?

Forth is the promotion. Every type of art, if it leaves your house to be viewed by others must be marketed. And descriptions of the memories and feelings that created the ideas or the presentation should be defined to relate to the unenlightened critics and reviewers.
