From Austin: 

After doing this reading I have come to the realization that artist's

canNOT work with the sense of wanting to impress anyone, and should

make sure their work is seen by the group they want. In the end there

will always be someone who sees, is displeased, and will spread word

to many about how much they disliked the work overall. A great mental

image that came to me after seeing the rippling effect is the thought

of a child (loosely). A child is raised on opinions from figures of

authority(parents, teachers, coaches,etc..) and will grow to form

their own opinions based on the perception they've molded together,

even though it's well known that the best way to learn about something

is through first hand experience. So in the end, unless the child is

an innovative person that actually starts something that can be judged

later, he/she will never know for certain if he really understands

anything, there is only opinion.

In the end the main goal as an artists is to have someone see your

true intention and be affected by it.
