Context

Context is crucial because:

• We do not make art in a vacuum
• It can provide a language to help us understand our practice
• It can broaden our horizons
• It can give us confidence
• It can give us new ideas
• It can introduce us to new techniques
• It can help us to develop our skills

YOU + ART + STUFF = YOUR ART

Personal: Who? Where? What? etc.
Formal: Materials, Palette, Line, Shape, Composition, Scale, etc.
Other: Social, Political, Philosophical, Pop Cultural, Cross Cultural, etc.
