Painting interpretation is not an exact science. Artists have a variety of different objectives when they express themselves and are not necessarily tied to logic or even meaning. Furthermore, people will react to their own experiences and emotions and derive meanings accordingly which is unique and individual to themselves. When exercising interpretation, it is useful to divide it in two separate tasks: identification of core elements and meaning. If an artist draws a perfect box there is no doubt it's a box. The meaning of the box in the context of the painting could be an infinitude of things. (See Box for a fun exercise on distinguishing the two)

Painting interpretation is not an exact science. Artists have a variety of different objectives when they express themselves and are not necessarily tied to logic or even meaning. Furthermore, people will react to their own experiences and emotions and derive meanings accordingly which is unique and individual to themselves. When exercising interpretation, it is useful to divide it in two separate tasks: identification of core elements and meaning. If an artist draws a perfect box there is no doubt it's a box. The meaning of the box in the context of the painting could be an infinitude of things. (See Box for a fun exercise on distinguishing the two) Painting, as with any expression in art, requires skills and techniques which artists have and use to different degrees. Techniques are used to help the artist convey what he wants to express. While every artist's style may be radically different from each other, they will draw from a pool of common techniques to execute their work. These techniques include (but are not limited to): perspective (lines of sight), toning (dark/light), proportions, coloring, texture, etc.
