Week 10 Q&A02

"2. Does there need to be knowledge (content) in art?"

Good art should have some sort of content. In regards to imagination and creativity, it is all well and good if an artist successfully and masterfully created a work relying on their skill, but if there is no content, it does not have the same sort of meaning. Even the imagination and creativity should be based off of some prior knowledge and understanding, so even if there is no meaty content, there might be a little bit of content in regards to, for example, the brushstrokes. I think the content in the artwork, and by that I mean what its trying to communicate, is as important as the creativity executed in it and the imagination portrayed.
