Making our perspective more nuanced

Austin Kleon wrote a really interesting post about "Possible verdicts," where he talks about the concept of separating "taste" and "judgment" -- that we can acknowledge that something made well or beautiful without liking it ourselves. Also, something can be not-beautiful, but we can enjoy it. Such a cool point -- we don't have to tie whether something is beautiful to whether we like it.

He has a doodle he made to describe what he's talking about (see the link above for his doodle). I made one with additional parts. I added that sometimes we can like something (or be drawn to it) but it also can make us feel bad. Many people seem to experience that with Instagram or YouTube or reality shows. Perspectives can be complicated!

Maybe you would like to make your own doodle?
