The document discusses master studies and how they can help artists learn about different styles. It notes that master studies involve confronting an artist from history and "trying on their hat" creatively. The process helps artists gain confidence and see how other masters approached color, subject matter, and composition. The document provides examples of student master studies and responses where they interpreted the style of famous artists like Modigliani, Van Gogh, and O'Keefe in new works of their own.
