Page 60, Quote; "Nothing comes from nowhere."
This quote its very relatable to me because as an artist I often get inspired by others people's work or demonstrations. When ever I sometimes feel stuck, or confused with an idea, I tend to go to the museum since there's huge amount of different art work that come from different eras, places, and culture. By visiting museums it gives me the hint that was needed to proceed with my art work due to inspiration from not only one perspective but rather a collective view from all diverse art. So, if this is one of the steps that as an artist or anyone takes, I can't image how many more people or even things were inspired by each other to create something for people to share, see, or feel.
Page 64, Quote; "Our ideas come in a singular stream, good mixed with bad, bruised with pristine."
One of the most difficult challenges that an artist may encounter in his journey is organizing his ideas and being very observative with what they may add or discard in their work. When it comes to brain storm, no ideas are bad ideas, however when it comes to organizing ideas, that's when we need to unfortunately remove bad ideas with good ones. This step is very crucial, because sometime a bad idea may camouflage with a good one, therefore making it difficult to identify them, however with the help of sketches and reviewing them, ideas may end up being simplified, edited, or just removed. The constant changes and experimenting what works and not, may be the result of a successful project.
Page 65, Quote; "Critic: Evaluate!
No one likes to be criticize for anything, it usually makes us feel a bit upset or uninspired, but that's just negative talk. There's also a better and more efficient criticism that might help the artist to improve their work. These type of criticism. often challenge the artist to see and accept their errors, and hopefully enable them to correct them or make an even better one. Back in high school, our art class had a last review segment that consisted of all students from freshmen to seniors to be involved in a criticism. These criticism made many people emotional since someone would have to be standing in front of many students and present their work, and listen to their critic. At fist I wasn't a big fan of this assignment since it often hurt, but eventually you accept that the whole point for this gathering was not offend the artist, but rather share perspective, and most importantly give them solution that an artist might have never seen it or was unsure of something.
