Do you think that knowing about art history and different art styles makes you a better artist?

Yes, it's a knowledge that broadens one's horizon.
Not necessarily, but it can be useful to some degree.
No, I believe art should be based on feelings, not knowledge.

No, art should be absolutely based on your feelings, your ideas and your style. However, if knowing about other styles inspires you, then I suppose it's a wonderful thing.

In the end, I believe what makes one a good artist is if art positively affects your emotions, and if you put a part of yourself into it, so to speak. c:
