Reading "The Whole Ball of Wax" gave me a deeper understating of the concept of art in general. Everyone views art differently. Some people see it as a form of entertainment, some people see it as an expression of society and some people simply don't think it means anything at all. The list of different perspectives people have on art goes on and on. In some cases, art can change peoples outlook on the world without even trying to. Something that stuck with me in the article was when Saltz said " Neither Andy Warhol or Donald Judd made overtly political art. Yet both changed the way the world looks and the way we look at the world". I believe that since art is interpreted differently by every individual, it can have a million different meanings. Art has the power to provoke different emotions from everyone who sees it and also impact society as a whole. It is a truly unique from of expression to the world.

  1. I like the way that you broke down the perspectives that art can be seen and used. Also, your quote from the article was very interesting. I did not highlight it in my own reading but I really enjoyed it. These two figures were so important in society yet they were more subtle in their art.

  2. I like how you included the author's reference to Andy Warhol's and Donald Judd's work because I found that part of the article particularly interesting. Also, I completely agree with your point that art can have "a million different meanings". I think that is one of the best aspects of art.

  3. I think what you took away from the article is quite interesting. Just as everyone interprets art differently, taking their own perspective, you took your view of the writing and presented in a great context with the quote about Andy Warhol.

  4. Although Andy Warhol's quote did not stand out to me at first, I like the way that you incorporated it into your piece. I agree that art can provoke different emotions from different people and that's what makes it so complex and unique.
