Opinion

Throughout our lives we are always told not to let the opinions of others to influence our decisions or even so far as to say be peer pressured. But really opinions play a huge role in society when it comes to art. Today in class we said that others opinions are what determine what is a great work of art or not. So if we don't let an opinion influence us then we will never know what is great or not, or according to what group. Even though throughout our lives we have been told to not be influenced by others, like many other things there are exceptions. Do you think that if an artist didn't find the opinion of their work of art it would be interpreted the same?
