Plato. Book X

So, like always, it took me awhile to get this reading. I had to ask a friend to explain it to me a little. But once she did, I got it right away. I must say, I actually liked this reading. It wasn't hard, and I understood it after awhile. Which is really good. And I actually disagree with what Plato says. And it's not just because I'm in art school to become an artist. Well maybe. But anyways. He made some valid points. But as soon as he gets to the artist, and not knowing what they paint, or that they have no real knowledge. That's where I disagree. Artists not only create beautiful works (sometimes), but just because they don't know what they paint, does not know that they don't know many other things. Of course a flute maker is going to ask a flutist how to improve the flute. But an artist, could learn to play the flute. There are many faces behind an artists that many people don't understand. And well that's what I say. But other than that, good reading. (:
