To draw is first to observe a subject, to learn about it enough that you are better able to represent it. Many people see things but are not trained to observe as an artist is. People are typically trained to see people, places, and things, in terms or their value or usefulness rather than their physical appearance.
Not many people want or need to be world class artists, or even great artists. But most of us need and want to communicate better, and in more ways. Art is one such way, and we don’t need to know everything about it, but just enough for our personal needs.
Art — vast and complicated subject, yet so personal that it evokes myriad interpretations. It’s like a kaleidoscope of perspectives, each unique, yet united in their essence.
