Part of being an artist to me, is working with what you have. I will sometimes play around with things i have around the house when i run out of art materials such as charcoal and paint or nice paper and canvas.
"Ask your work what it needs, not what you need." (36)
I have a hard time knowing what to add to my work and when it is finished. I will often over think it which makes me more careful and sensitive to what i do with my work stops my work from moving forward.
"After all, artists themselves rarely serve as role models of normalcy." (40)
I think that this quote is interesting because I do believe that artist are rarely normal and always have some sort of unique trait that divides them from the common man. I think that this is what makes them so creative and allows them to grow as artists and create such powerful artwork.
"What is sometimes needed is simply an insulating period, a gap of pure time between the making of your art, and the time when you share it with others." (40)
Sometimes there is a need to put your art down after making and and let it sit before showing it to others. There could be something you did not see before or maybe its just that you need some time to be with your artwork and just sit.
