The Coralation of Art as a Vocabulary.

Creating Art has many parallels to learning a Language. The first step must begin with choosing the Language to be learned. This is much like a Artist deciding on a "Style". The next thing to pursue in learning a Language is the dialect / Eastern, Western whatever. This is like a Artist choosing a medium, painting, sculpture, however the artist decides to communicate his ideas. When the language is learned one must decide how to use it. This is when a Artist must choose a direction.

Once the basics have been decided the Artist begins his journey much like a explorer looking for the next continent. He may have to sink to the bottom in his early explorations many times until he finally comes upon a vessel that will carry his ideas to their final destination. This is when the artists journey begins. When the artists is able to complete the first sentence or statement he has made his first step into establishing direction, perhaps a small step, but never the less the beginning of cultivating his vocabulary . This is like deciding on a composition or style and executing it. One must know when to stop when the thought is completed. Like in speaking, one must know when to stop and listen, or the communication will end and the speaker will not be relating to anyone but himself. This is the same with making Art, one must know when the work is complete or it will cease to communicate and turn out as a confused statement. One must know when to stop when a statement is clearly communicated, both in art and speech.

When a Artist becomes a Master of his Vocabulary he will begin to communicate his thoughts in a prolificl and direct way. The next step will be a evolution of his thoughts within the parameters of his Vocabulary. This is when the Artist has created a "Style". When the evolution of new phrases or thoughts are established, you may say a "Series" has been created. Same in creating a sentence from words. The Artist may create works that relate back to his early vocabulary by using combinations of basic sentences to create his works.

Style is the essence of a vocabulary used over and over in a evolutionary process. As a Actor is recognized for a style, dialect, moves or voice, as a Poet is recognized by the construction of pros, so the artist communicates with his vocabulary of shapes, compositions or inter fazing of ideas which may be related to the sentences in ones vocabulary. Once a Vocabulary is learned and established the creator is free to express his ideas in a infinite and evolutionary way that is built upon over the years to create "Periods". This is why the Vocabulary of a Language is the same as communicating a "Artistic Expressions". Always identifiable to the uniqueness of the speaker or writer, or painter or sculptor or poet or actor or singer or all of the above. Communication with a developed Vocabulary is what sets those apart from those who speak, and those who communicate. When taking the time to listen, or taking in the feelings of completeness around their thoughts they have succeeded in communicating or creating a artistic expression.

The true Artists throughout time have had a vocabulary, and over time have used it to create new sentences or bodies of work which accounts for the evolution of their styles throughout their years. One can always look at a Artist early work and track the vocabulary to his late works. Often more mature but not necessarily as raw or bold.
