Do not feel like you need extensive knowledge to be comfortable engaging with art. Everyone should be able to interpret art from their own perspective, as long as they approach it with an open mind.

Let's Talk About Your Friend's Art (LTAYFA) is WEB project BY JENNIFER CHEN. Chen invited four artists AND ONE FRIEND OF EACH ARTIST to speak with her about art. Each pair (artist/friend) know one another well socially, but the artists tend not to discuss their artwork with the selected friend. Chen discovered there is a certain MAGIC IN FRIENDSHIP. The discussions open up ways of understanding art for everyone.

Explore each conversation and ask yourself: what changes when you get to know an artist? How do the conversations on LTAYFA help you "see" the artwork in a new way?
