what happens when you let your art be ‘influenced’ by other artists? – Tara Leaver
“And the big daddy that I learned from all this: I actually CAN’T paint like other artists, and nor do I want to. That’s the best thing this exercise has taught me over the years; it’s fun to experiment, to try out what other artists are doing, but if I only ever did that I’d be unfulfilled and dissatisfied. I’d be surrounded by a vegetarian buffet and craving steak.”

Importance of Narrative in Art
Art and narrative are closely connected because storytelling is a powerful way to convey meaning, emotion, and context. Here are a few reasons why art often needs a narrative:
1. Contextual Understanding: A narrative provides context that helps viewers understand the deeper meaning or message of the artwork. Without a story, the interpretation of art can be vague or ambiguous.
2. Emotional Engagement: Stories evoke emotions, and when art is tied to a narrative, it can resonate more deeply with the audience, making the experience more impactful.
3. Connection with the Audience: A narrative allows viewers to relate the artwork to their own experiences, thoughts, or feelings, creating a personal connection between the art and the audience.
4. Cultural and Historical Significance: Art often reflects the time, place, and culture in which it was created. A narrative can highlight these aspects, making the artwork more meaningful in a broader context.
5. Guiding Interpretation: While art can be open to interpretation, a narrative can guide viewers toward a particular understanding or theme, helping to convey the artist’s intended message more clearly.
6. Creating a Legacy: Narratives can preserve the stories behind art, ensuring that future generations understand and appreciate the significance of the work.

Why the best art is meaningless | Jonathan Jones
“Real art doesn’t have a message, doesn’t necessarily say anything. It is an arrangement of shapes, a pattern of words. If you want an antidote to this idea of art, watch Bob Dylan manically arranging and rearranging words on a shop sign he and the band spotted one day. That is art.”
