Increase Your Learning Curve

This is a plethora of good reads, Suzanne, thank you!
I just finished this one on "what makes good art"

http://www.artbusiness.com/how-to-recognize-the-best-art.html

Thank you Marlene, you confirm what I thought, good to know! I will definitely be reading that one and all the remainder.

I hope our forum peeps spend some time with these articles.
I'd also suggest asking Abbie to put this in the HELP section.

This is great! I have read a few and marked the page to come back to. Lots of useful information in there, thanks Suzanne

Bookmarked It! Thanks.

You're welcome everyone, I'm glad you find it useful.

My sister, who is an art professor at UVIC says, you can tell good art by three things: 1) You linger a tiny bit longer than the average piece in front of you. 2) You return to that image a second time for a closer look. 3) If you look three times, it's good art.....to YOU. What is good art to one is not good art to another, but really, you are only worried about connecting with THE one who finds it good art, not at all the others who skim over it.

Kim, that makes sense. I think good art is known by everyone it just may not be everyone's personal choice.

no time now but will read later...thank you!

This read is fantastic....about giving over your mailing lists to a gallery that is repping and showing you.
It proves how short sighted artists can be....and bad at the real business of art!

I clicked on and read that one Marlene, very interesting, things I wouldn't have known. Makes one have a good perspective of what it takes from the artist and gallery to run a show.

Thanks Suzanne. Tons of helpful ideas.

I've read about 6 articles so far. Thanks for sharing Suzanne.
