On Collingwood...

I had so many questions when we were discussing Collingwood, that I don't even know where to start. So I guess for starters, he basically argues that you cannot express your feelings unless you fully understand them. So intsead of trying to explain how I understood him, I'll just post my questions I had during class, since there were way too many for me to pick even one.

  • Do you have to understand your feelings before you can make art?
  • Can you create before understanding? Is creation a step to understanding?
  • Is art created for the satisfaction of the artist or the audience? If no one "sees" it, is it still art?
  • Do you have to physically create something to become an artist?
  • Is the art the expression or the final product?
  • Is there one "right" interpretation of artwork? Can people actually be right or wrong about it?
  • Do you have to understand your own artwork?
