you can’t do and when you come to the

you can’t do and when you come to the museum try to understand what you don’t

museum try to understand what you don’t

museum try to understand what you don’t understand about art you need to spend

understand about art you need to spend

understand about art you need to spend some time time with the unknown and you

some time time with the unknown and you

some time time with the unknown and you should start trying at least trying to

should start trying at least trying to

should start trying at least trying to jump ok let’s pretend that this is

jump ok let’s pretend that this is

jump ok let’s pretend that this is artwork again it’s a lousy way to put

artwork again it’s a lousy way to put

artwork again it’s a lousy way to put urn to

urn to

urn to hold of artwork but let’s pretend this

hold of artwork but let’s pretend this

hold of artwork but let’s pretend this is artwork so when you’re entering the

is artwork so when you’re entering the

is artwork so when you’re entering the museum and you’re standing in front of

museum and you’re standing in front of

museum and you’re standing in front of Leslie painting a small painting but

Leslie painting a small painting but

Leslie painting a small painting but still the painting the easiest way to

still the painting the easiest way to

still the painting the easiest way to start interacting or jumping with this

start interacting or jumping with this

start interacting or jumping with this piece of art is to ask the following

piece of art is to ask the following

piece of art is to ask the following questions what which is analyze mode and

questions what which is analyze mode and

questions what which is analyze mode and y which is interpretation mode sorry so

y which is interpretation mode sorry so

y which is interpretation mode sorry so when you talk about what then you

when you talk about what then you

when you talk about what then you describe what you’re actually seeing is

describe what you’re actually seeing is

describe what you’re actually seeing is it a photo is that the painting is a

it a photo is that the painting is a

it a photo is that the painting is a drawing or so on

drawing or so on

drawing or so on is it the landscape what kind of

is it the landscape what kind of

is it the landscape what kind of landscape what’s in this landscape and

landscape what’s in this landscape and

landscape what’s in this landscape and so on so you’re describing what you’re

so on so you’re describing what you’re

so on so you’re describing what you’re seeing and that’s objective

seeing and that’s objective

seeing and that’s objective interpretation is something else is to

interpretation is something else is to

interpretation is something else is to not to not describe but it is to trying

not to not describe but it is to trying

not to not describe but it is to trying to put content or understanding the

to put content or understanding the

to put content or understanding the context of meaning what’s relevant and

context of meaning what’s relevant and

context of meaning what’s relevant and what’s not and try to find different

what’s not and try to find different

what’s not and try to find different kind of useful perspectives it’s not

kind of useful perspectives it’s not

kind of useful perspectives it’s not like is it red green blue big or small

like is it red green blue big or small

like is it red green blue big or small is more like what does actually red mean

is more like what does actually red mean

is more like what does actually red mean or has it a meaning in this context or

or has it a meaning in this context or

or has it a meaning in this context or what is this feature say it sounds

what is this feature say it sounds

what is this feature say it sounds simple but it’s not and you need to

simple but it’s not and you need to

simple but it’s not and you need to train on this but this is both critical

train on this but this is both critical

train on this but this is both critical and creative thinking but it also a way

and creative thinking but it also a way

and creative thinking but it also a way of complex problem-solving because

of complex problem-solving because

of complex problem-solving because obviously there’s no perfect answer to

obviously there’s no perfect answer to

obviously there’s no perfect answer to your questions but you have to try to

your questions but you have to try to

your questions but you have to try to find the solution jumping this way is a

find the solution jumping this way is a

find the solution jumping this way is a creative process not only because you

creative process not only because you

creative process not only because you and the artwork is collaborating so to

and the artwork is collaborating so to

and the artwork is collaborating so to say but because there are also different

say but because there are also different

say but because there are also different kind of meanings around surrounding the

kind of meanings around surrounding the

kind of meanings around surrounding the artwork and maybe you are thereby with a

artwork and maybe you are thereby with a

artwork and maybe you are thereby with a friend or family and so on and you start

friend or family and so on and you start

friend or family and so on and you start talking about the piece of art so you

talking about the piece of art so you

talking about the piece of art so you kind of interacting with the piece and

kind of interacting with the piece and

kind of interacting with the piece and surroundings what you should have in

surroundings what you should have in

mind that interaction is about creating

mind that interaction is about creating never demanding it’s about creating and

never demanding it’s about creating and

never demanding it’s about creating and in this way you can see that in one why

in this way you can see that in one why

in this way you can see that in one why we’re trying to understand the painting

we’re trying to understand the painting

we’re trying to understand the painting or the artwork but we also trying to

then the trampoline will stop bouncing

then the trampoline will stop bouncing because there are no bounds left

because there are no bounds left

because there are no bounds left bouncing is about being open and aware

bouncing is about being open and aware

bouncing is about being open and aware of what going around the artwork so

think of the artwork as an empty vessel

think of the artwork as an empty vessel an empty vessel that should be filled by

an empty vessel that should be filled by

an empty vessel that should be filled by you just like you work and life in that

you just like you work and life in that

you just like you work and life in that way art and approaching artists reminds
