What are your feelings toward his experience and the discussion that follows?
3.) At the end of the reading he makes a claim that can be broken down into three propositions. (page 139) What are your feelings or opinions on each of the three propositions? Do you agree or disagree with each proposition of the claim?

ReplyDelete1) I think many artists feel restricted by canvas and that is why they move to three dimensional art. They can have more freedom with sculpture then on the set flat dimensions of a canvas. I don't think actual space is more powerful than paint on a canvas. I think it depends on how you use the medium, not what medium you use.
