If the eye worked like the ear there would be far less bad art in the world. If eyes reacted to bad art the way ears react to bad music then you'd run from most 'art' long before the 'artist' had the chance to launch into the title and explanation....if it has an explanation then it didn't work so it must be art.
Alas, by today's art standard, not having ever trained to read music nor having a clue how to make notes happen, I am a perfect candidate to be an improvisational jazz artist. (Recall when artists painted, musicians tooted and dancers danced....today they are all 'artists' which means that being an artist is both everything and (more often) nothing.
Before creativity must come discipline. One must master a medium technically before larding on the emotional expression stuff that passes for art instruction today. If one cannot realise a physical manifestation of a mental image...a thought accurately conveyed and portrayed in solid form, then all the art-speak in the world is for naught. Master a medium technically....then think about what you want to express.
Anything less should make your eyes hurt.
