Artsy Pants

I am currently half-way through typing a response for foundation seminar, which is basically a course at my school to introduce the freshman students more to the art world and the concepts behind the art that people look at. It's a pretty interesting class, but I'll be damned if I don't hate writing these responses.

I don't know...Is it bad that as an artist I simply don't care to discuss my opinions about what people think of art? Don't get me wrong, I love looking at artwork, I love producing it and I can't imagine myself doing anything else. It's just that discussing why Picasso painted a person the way he did or why post-modernist art is so important is...bland. I am not excited by it.

Why can't we just look at a piece of art for once and just appreciate the time and work that probably went into something, Right?
