Within every piece of art there is a story told using visual imagery, rather than words. The way we see art to a greater or lesser degree is how much we engage with a particular image and how its “story” impacts us – be it positively or negatively.
The fun in art is to become aware of what we see more keenly; the shadows cast on a persons face, the shape of the objects, the folds in the fabric or colour of the sky. Doing so is developing what is called a “discerning eye”. By using your discerning eye and asking yourself “why…?” while judging how it makes us feel, you are finally able to say you can see the story; the art.
