Making meaning...that is something that one probably has to think about for a while. I guess considering my very limited background in real art, this definitely expands on my previous knowledge of what art really means. Art to me, is no longer just something aesthetically pleasing but something that provokes a feeling, an underlying meaning, touches on some sort of issue. It is interesting to think that even changing one little thing about a piece can make it speak so much louder, whether it is the material, the presentation, or whatever else. I never really thought about the process being important in interpreting the piece before... I am used to things like drawing and photography where (excluding some photographic elements), the process speaks for itself so it is never really anything that you have to think about. I am kind of looking forward to exploring this.
