Lets talk art:
The choices you make (intentionally or unintentionally) while creating art becomes the language by which your viewer understands the piece. This happens through the choice of medium, material, aesthetic qualities, formal elements, subject matter, gesture, lighting, dimension and location. Each of these is connected to a greater cultural & historical context that can change depending on the viewers age, race, gender identity, nationality, economic status and location on the planet.
As art students you are becoming experts in understanding the many levels of depth an image/object contains and how it effects your viewer. If you were in chemistry you would be expected to remember the periodic table as well as how all the elements intact through various chemical combinations depending on situation. (sounds just as impossible doesn't it) You creative neighbors upstairs are doing the same thing with sound and musical composition.
