I am going to cheat a little, because I am really inspired by this quote and give you guys an extra quote this week!
"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."
-Edgar Degas
I keep this quote posted at my design job desk to inspire myself. Design is art, and its purpose is to communicate. Very fitting quote indeed. But this quote touches on other aspects and passions of my life as well.
Here are some paintings from Degas. What do these pieces make you see?

Sarah, I'd love to see more of your designs! Post them on the blog maybe?
ReplyDeleteI also think the quote is a challenge in a sense because ART can be interpreted in any way. So to MAKE other see what you want them to see is definitely a challenge, but if you can achieve it, then I think it's safe to say you have mastered your art.
I think you make a really good point Diana... and definitely have me thinking! And also, a person's ART, can show a lot about the artist. If they are a genuine artist, then we get a genuine look at them.
ReplyDeleteand perhaps I shall start posting some of my designs!! good idea!
awesome... I think I might steal this and put it on my desk lol
