  Big ideas are important in lives. When we do art works we should consider something different from others to make audience surprised by our products, and the "something different" means the big idea of your own. In this article, I like the way the author talks about big idea. He compares it to theme and subject matter, two closed concepts to big idea, and make the meaning of big idea more clearly.
  I enjoy reading use of big idea in the last part of the article, but that makes me interest in how to generate a good big idea? How do we know if our big ideas are good enough to use?

  I am in art 367 this quarter, and we just discussed visual art last class, about connotations and denotations. And this article helps me understand there two concepts deeper. I think artist should make an interpretation following their products to explain the connotations he wants to deliver to the audience by the denotations. And I will make good explaination after my products.
 This article is pretty straight forward, I have no questions on it.
