i’m reading the book “why art cannot be taught” and it talks about the process of getting professionally critiqued. i seem to not be getting “the bigger” picture. is the purpose of getting critiqued is to change your current artwork that is being looked at? or is it for future reference when making another piece? and why would you want your piece to please these people? wouldn’t that mean you are not making art for yourself but art for the critics? and if so, why bother learning our own style, why not just learn what the critics like and recreate the same work over and over?
i would maybe be more understanding if the art that is being looked at is for a home decor, but when it comes to the art that can impact the world or has this hidden beautiful meaning that isn’t meant to “just be a pretty picture” i don’t feel that other peopleopinionsns matter in order to make that form.. because if theropinionsns did matter, then what would be the purpose of the artist? the critics would know it all and create all of the best in the eyes of everyone because no one else knows more than them.

Office decor doesn’t have to be boring, or even all businesslike. You can spruce up your office walls with elegant oil paintings even if you’re on a tight budget. Art reproductions are beautiful works of art that are hand-painted by talented artists to capture the true colors and meanings of famous paintings from the past. With the low cost of art reproductions, anyone can decorate their office using famous paintings.
Enhance Office Waiting Areas
Use artwork throughout your office waiting area to enhance your decor. Paintings can be matched with chairs, couches, tables, lamps and carpeting to create the mood you want. If you desire a cheerful atmosphere, consider using colorful paintings of animals or landscapes. For a dramatic effect, use old-fashioned portraits of people or paintings of serious scenes with darker color patterns.
Create an Office Theme
You can also use painting reproductions to build a theme for your office. For example, if your office is related to finance, paintings depicting a financial theme will make a great addition to your decor. Another example is to hang cheerful, lifelike paintings of children in a pediatric office. Or, a travel agency might use paintings of fascinating places around the world. There are paintings to create almost any theme.
Inspire Your Employees
Art reproductions can also be used to inspire your employees as they work. Hang inspirational works of art near employee desks and in break rooms. Paintings of relaxing scenes might be used to help reduce stress in the workplace. For example, the gorgeous “Fishing in Spring” painting by Vincent van Gogh will give your employees a visual getaway at a glance. “Landscape with a Rainbow” by Peter Paul Rubens offers a peek into a faraway land of beauty. Your employees will enjoy working in a motivational environment.
Build a Reputation
Decorating your office with art reproductions will give it the look and feel of a high-class work environment. Your clients and business associates will assume you spent a fortune decorating your office when you really didn’t. Art reproductions make this possible because they usually cost so little while their original counterparts might cost thousands of dollars. This enables you to have a professional office decor while also saving money.
Artwork in the office can add tremendously to your decor. You can use it to create the colors and themes you want, and build an atmosphere your clients will appreciate.

can sit and read a magazine or discuss the design of the unique dinnerware you want us to make for you (handmade/painted), you can even come in and paint your own pottery or join a photography workshop. We offer for 12 years and up (birthday parties)…of course they will paint their own piece of pottery. The idea is you relax and do not have to be a profesional or you indulge in our art decor, interior designers purchase by us and companies have their meetings in our tranquil atmosphere while having fun designing mugs for the office-WHAT WOULD YOU NAME OUR LITTLE STUDIO???

an example would be Zach Morris’s room decor in Saved By the Bell
shapes like triangles and circles sort of randomly arranged
lots of colors, multicolor, plenty of light purple, black, yellow, pink
not sure what else i can say but i think people will get what i mean by this
