Standing in the Shoes... Charlotte London


In my opinion one art is not
superior to another. Each has its own special qualities and or challenges. We can all say
our individual daily activities are more challenging than our neighbors but is this really
true? I personally found that the Paragone discussions gave a geniune reading into the
lives of painters and sculptors. We are giving information that we may not necessarily
receive without this discussion. My week as an artist was at times a bit challenging as
mentioned in the Paragone. The small sculpture took a great deal of time to carve
evenly around the base of the project. I agree that the remnants of the material
covered the floor, work surface and my black pajama's. At times it was a bit comical.
Based on the information from my team members it appears some of agree that painters
and sculptors have the same or similar challenges as artists. A Paragone is a good start
to sharing information but continued conversations are a must. The more we know about
the work of other artists can help us with our questions we have about art in general.
This has certainly been a great project. Wow, I have a new found respect for Painters
and Sculptors
