So basic but important questions asked 👍

To people who may read this, I’m a self taught visual artist so take what I say knowing that fact.

Perfection is a practice not the goal, we aim at the target , hoping for a perfect score. Through practice our work shows refinement not perfection.

If an artist can’t be self critical and be confident in realizing their week points

they are far from being a creative person.

We should not fear criticism, we should be in the practice of knowing why we created what we created the way we created it, an artist should welcome questions and criticism. It’s your chance to expand on your concept’s.

The direction of a artists work comes from the artist. We take in the world or experiences or whatever you are open to and that goes through a filter each creative human has and is presented to the viewer in one of thousand mediums we wish to offer our work in.

The “clear direction of art in the word” is only followed by artists who need outside guidance. I wish to work through my own ideas ( concepts) . Why waste a artist voice serving the director of art. If you are an artist say what YOU want to say.

Don’t worry how your work “ stacks up “ to other artists work. Be original as much as you can!

Asking why one wants to be an artist?

To be creative, to share concepts with others who are not moved enough by popular culture.
