While reading through the text, Launching the Imagination, by Mary Stewart, Figure 1.11, or the image by Jerome Witkin on page 5, instantly caught my attention. Although my attention was caught, I was not quite sure what I was looking at until I continued reading through the text that described the scene within the oil strokes by Witkin. Reading through the description is what made me realize how important it is to include an excerpt of one's art, whether it be digital or on some sort of physical canvas, for the audience can guess for as long as they would like, but the true intention of the artist may not be known until it is revealed in an explanation by the artist. Going through this experience myself also gave me the insight of what content should be included in the detailed description of my work, such as is given in the text, which points out the "diagonal streaks of white and a gray arrow on the street pull us toward the woman in red...while the blue and yellow shapes in the upper-right corner send us ricocheting back out again" (Stewart, 43). This description allows the audience to focus their attention on what otherwise may have been a confusing message.
