The article “How I Learned to Love Yoko Ono” written by Lisa Carver mainly talks about Yoko’s personality and her art works. In the article, the writer indicates that there are two different schools of art: The one who create arts which is beautiful and the one who make viewer to see or feel what is already beautiful. In my opinion, I think both of them are equally important. We always need artist who create arts, but not all of them could be shown to the public as not all artist have money or power to show their arts. So they need someone who can help them to show their arts to others. And those people have to understand art a lot to determine which art is good and beautiful. The article also states that some people might feel Yoko is weird, but she never cares about how people think and continue create her own works. Which I think is very important to an artist. They shouldn’t concern about what other thinks but only concern on their own work. Because other people’s idea doesn’t mean what you have in your mind.

But it is also a problem if you do not accept other’s ideas. It is because everyone got their own point of view, not everyone could understand what feeling your art is trying to express. To solve this problem, they best way is you first create an art by yourself, then you show it to others, listen to their opinion, than try to apply those opinions to your next art work. Never make any changes to arts you already done. Because this action will definitely change the whole feeling of your art.
