Great article! I couldn’t agree more that education is a powerful tool to attract more fans for your art. As an artist myself, I’ve found that taking the time to explain the thought process behind my work and the techniques I use has really helped people connect with it on a deeper level.

In addition to discussing the formal elements of my art, I also like to share the cultural and historical inspirations behind my pieces. It adds an extra layer of meaning that resonates with people and makes them more interested in learning more about my work.

Thank you for sharing your insights and strategies for educating people about art. I invite you and your readers to check out our website, http://www.tingatingaart.com, to see how I incorporate these principles into my own art practice.

How wonderful that you suggest teaching people about how to view art and empowering them. I am moving this month and I love seeing art. I will find a great art studio in the area to go to.

I worked various retail over the years. Truly, once I educated the customer about the options available, how to tell quality, listened to what their needs were, then the customer was able to make an educated choice. Now I will invest some thought into my art and how I might spark interest and, hopefully, investment
Once I explained the difference in bread machines, a gentleman told me that he went into stores five times to buy a bread machine and walked away each time, but now he felt confident that he could make an intelligent choice. He bought his bread machine. When I was designing kitchens, I always pointed out the difference in quality and workmanship, then customers were not fooled into over paying for poor quality or being stuck with it.
Thanks for this discussion. I will now think about my art in a new light.

Its amazing how powerful knowledge can increase performance, indeed talking to those around us about our art really makes them a part of the story thus making them part owners. It is especially difficult for art to be looked at in my country Kenya where art is little appreciated by the local folk. Thanks for the insight

[…] This also applies to your own work and how people view it. Many people have zero knowledge when it comes to art in general, and a little education can go a long way towards their understanding and appreciation of art. According to Alyson Stanfield, “helping people to understand why [your work is] amazing can lead to more fans.” […]
