“The [engineer] should be equipped with knowledge of many branches of study and varied kinds of learning, for it is by his judgement that all work done by the other arts is put to test. This knowledge is the child of practice and theory.” ShouldKindChildrenArtDonePracticeStudyTheoryArt IsTestsJudgementBranchesEngineersWork Done Author:Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
“I think that there's a strong crossover in that Janis, studying the visual arts, was learning how to break it down into details and see how to get the expression that we wanted. And her visual art is emotionally expressive as her singing was. And, I think, when she switched over to singing, she already knew that it was something serious that you broke into pieces so she developed the ability to break it down and learn little riffs that she could throw in here and there.” ThinkingLittlesArtWantedStrongAbilityBreakStudyPiecesSeriousExpressionSingingArt IsDown AndDetailsBrokeVisualsHere And ThereExpressiveVisual ArtCrossover Author:Laura Joplin
“I deny that art can be taught, or, in other words, maintain that art is completely individual, and that the talent of each artist is but the result of his own inspiration and his own study of past tradition.” ArtInspirationPastArtistIndividualResultsEducationStudyTalentTaughtArt IsTraditionDeny Author:Gustave Courbet

“The refining influence is the study of art, which is the science of beauty; and I find that every man values every scrap of knowledge in art, every observation of his own in it, every hint he has caught from another. For the laws of beauty are the beauty of beauty, and give the mind the same or a higher joy than the sight of it gives the senses. The study of art is of high value to the growth of the intellect.” MenGivingMindArtLawJoyValuesGrowthStudyInfluenceHigherArt IsSightCaughtIntellectEvery ManSensesObservationHintsScrapRefining Author:Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I mean, part of the justification for art is art history, the fact that you're part of this tradition. You can't really operate outside of it. So looking for what this work is really about, if I look at Velázquez, if I look at Las Meninas or The Tapestry Weavers [1657] or something and really study it and try to figure out what that painting is really about, then I find relationships between what I'm trying to do and what he was doing.” IfsTryingLooksMeanArtFactsStudyFiguresPaintingArt IsTraditionJustificationTapestryArt HistoryWeavers Author:Robert Barry
“When you study art history, you learn that there is very little that is completely new, and in many ways digital art is no different. I love to derive inspiration from all types of images: mosaics, hieroglyphics, petroglyphs, woven patterns in textiles, and needlework. There is a lot of very good "pixel" design work before the 20th century, like a 1760 sampler by Elizabeth Laidman that looks like a bitmap font.” ArtDifferentInspirationStudyDesignArt IsVery Good20th CenturyArt History Author:Susan Kare
