In my journey of close reading, I chose to read a Picasso, which is a painting. In this Picasso I found that to be an artist you just need to have a little bit of imagination, and a pencil and paper. As I closely read the Picasso I found how you don't have to be an artist to make art you just need to be creative and show your creativity on paper. Closely reading the Picasso I found my self observing the whole painting, noticing details that not everyone would notice. I just felt that I could extract what the artist had been doing while she was painting.

In the Picasso I notice many thing and subtle derails that I was able to find. I found that the artist was using color to show emotion. But the colors she used was bright colors that stood out and shoes how she was feeling, and I also noticed that she used specific colors in specific places that made the Picasso stand out even more. In the Picasso I've notices how the paintings are so abstract and all over the place. I can understand how your painting doesn't have to be symmetrical or perfect it could whatever you want it to show and make it any shape or size you want it to be. That's the cool thing about a Picasso you get to express your creativity in a whole different talent that makes art more meaningful to a close reader like me.

I believe that you don't have to be an artist to express yourself, you just have to make something that could be meaningful to you, where people could see the value and emotion exerted by you art. So as a result anyone can be considered an artist because everyone views the world in a different way than when they apply their strategies and knowledge they create a master piece that has value to them and speaks to them through something other than words, in art. In my thought and beliefs I believe that art is a way of reading, it's like a page of words but in art that could mean anything the artist drew it out to be. So in general to be an artist it doesn't take much talent you just need a pencil and pepper and a hint of imagination to create something valuable to you.
