Is There A Right Or Wrong Way To Look At Art? How To Look At Art [Studying The Masters]

Is there a right or wrong way to look at art? The short answer is no.

This can be an isolating feeling and cause viewers to start doubting themselves. The good news is that you don't have to be an art scholar or possess any natural talents in order to really see art, and analyse the works that really catch your eye. In this article, we'll discuss a method for analysing artworks using a series of questions; a systematic approach that can be followed as much or as little as you see fit. After reading this and giving it a go, you will see for yourself that you do not need to be an art scholar in order to view art like an expert.

Tolkien Reading Day 2021 – Hope And Courage – The Tower Of Cirith Ungol In The Land Of Shadow

Here we are, yet another year away from the fall of Sauron and the destruction of the One Ring, on Tolkien Reading Day 2021. The Tolkien society have set the theme of Hope and Courage for us to dig into in some depth, and there is certainly an abundance of both qualities throughout the legendarium, and most especially in the Lord of the Rings. One of the greatest arcs throughout Tolkien's entire legendarium is that of Samwise Gamgee. From humble gardener, to Samwise the Brave, Orc-slayer, ringbearer and Mayor of the Shire. Sam is also the character that popped into my mind when I saw the theme for this year's Tolkien Reading Day, and a particular point in the journey that I have been chipping away at in preparation for an upcoming addition to my collection of Lord of the Rings art.
