I personally love the work of C-C Shan¹. Read "From word to sentence. A computational algebraic approach to grammar" by J. Lambek. Your university library should have a copy, if not press the issue to your librarian. Start though with Smullyan's "To mock a mockingbird". These suggestions reflect my taste. Art is a language, so understand how language is studied and use it to approach art. If you're serious about the art part, make sure you make art, or at least dissect art you like using the formal tools you're introduced to. Have fun! ¹http://homes.soic.indiana.edu/ccshan/ http://homes.soic.indiana.edu/ccshan/
