I like the emphasis on making in this reading. As a non-art person, I am usually very averse to making art, since the few times I tried to do it in the past was met with harsh words. The structure of this class seems to follow this reading quite nicely: we just make stuff first, then we use those experience making to do a final project (our magnum opus if you will). It definitely feels like simply making stuff and exploring different mediums have made me more open to the idea of me making some sort of art, whereas before I couldn’t even imagine the possibility.
