this is the art that I did at urban
it started like this and ended like this
I not a big fan of mine, I think its to controlled
do you make excuses for yourself when you do your art. I do I will go down to the studio with great intentions of creating art, and I wont do it, I will clean up, or sit there, or go thru some old papers , but I wont do any art. Then I will be mad at myself for not following thru on my plan. Here is gem that I found on this great website about creativity http://www.createintandem.com/ There’s a story that, when Ernest Hemingway was asked how to write a novel, he responded: “First you defrost the refrigerator.”
that sound about right to me. I think I have the fear of failure when creating, the fear
that when its finished it wont be good enough. But really good enough for who, do
I have such high expectations of myself , I have to learn to just let it go, and just create.
Because truthfully I have to create every day, I cant explain it, but I think about art every day. Do you?
You are definitely your own worst critic! I keep telling you that I love your art and I'm not just saying that...I really do.
ReplyDeleteI saw something several years ago that has stuck with me. This woman printed up an official looking certificate that said " (name) has permission to make ugly art" She said after she put it up in her studio she was able to let go and just do whatever. I didn't actually print anything out but I always remember that when I'm in the studio. Nothing in life is ever 100% so why do we think we should be able to create 100% beautiful art all the time. And truthfully, I think art that is too perfect isn't really beautiful.
I think your finished piece looks great. It has a playful quality to it and the colors say Spring!!
You might find it too controlled but I do like it. It's playful and the colours look great together.
ReplyDeleteIt's different for you and it looks as it was fun to do and I like it.
