HOW TO STUDY ARTIST'S WORKS and ...
"When I study the work of any artist, I'm absorbing the source of that art, which is the individual who created it. Every moment of one's entire life influences the process, and it's those life experiences that inform the spirit, the life and breath of the work.
I have an insatiable hunger for images of all kinds and also a desire to analyze the values and the abstract qualities that are the answer to most compositions."
Henry Casselli
So there is way to learn from other artist's work. This does not mean you copy the work, but practise to see Art work in its variety and catch the outstanding point, the special style and undestand them through artist's background, then find for you your own style with your own vision.
I have seen many styles from my friends when I was studying secondary and high school. We tend to copy the style and as a result, it became a trend, then what's your real style actually? How can you break that influence and create your own?
What have you learned from your friends' work?

I share you opinion. I also see that when I try to observe an artwork, I am also influenced by it and then sometime later I will use it unconsciously. Maybe you can have craft, skills, surface, and idea but if you don't have idom, your style, I think you will only be a replicant of someone.
Yes, replicant :) it's a hard try to get your own style though - there is repetition here and there :)
Actually, we already have our style when judging some art works and think of whether you can adopt it or not,right? So the problem is when you absorb more means you need to think more.
Anyway, that's what we need to learn ^^ Thanks for your comment, Tuan
Learing new and creative ideas from other people is good but it does not means we copy or do something similar.For me, I love maximalism very much,i always try creates something news and unique by myself instead of copying other ideas
@Duy & Hoang Anh: Yes, that are two different things but the border is easy to break. That's the hard and really cost time for you to practice & experience. But there is actually imitation in art, so we have to consider and know what suits our style.
Thanks for your comments :)
