Art Methods and Practice
Artists create Artists are creative Artists (may or may not) create things Things have meaning Artists create meaning
Our understanding of things changes the world Artists attempt to influence they way things mean Artists attempt to influence the world
Art is not “in” an object or connected to any specific materials or processes
 
 
Art poses questions rather then offering answers Art is open ended Because art is open ended, different viewers will get different things out of it. Because art poses questions, better knowledge allows the viewer to get more out of an artwork.
The more we know, the better we understand

Meaning is not an essence or attribute of objects or symbols
Shapes, objects, and places don’t mean… Only People Do
The most effective visual artworks attempt to strike a balance between providing enough information so that the intended meaning can occur, but not providing so much information that the viewer is left with nothing to do other then bear passive witness.  The circuit of meaning needs to be complete, but never closed, so that the viewer’s participation can serve as the final, electrifying link.
Damien Hirst
The impossibility of death in the mind of someone living.
David Salle
Meanings themselves can be:  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
