What do these two pieces suggest to you about the education of the artist? How have you experienced any of these ideas in your own creative life?
The education of the artist takes time. I took comfort in the video because it reminded me of the importance to fail. Through practice we learn that failure is important, and is what gets us to where we want to be. It was mentioned that our art production will take a lifetime to properly represent what goes on in our mind. I find that to be so true! When I sit myself down and try to create something, I feel that it seldom represents what was in my mind's eye. But that is a cool concept! It pushes me to try again and again. It pushes me to revisit my expectations and be open to imperfect outcomes.
Using an educational approach, it is important for children to understand that in a sense, a perfect artwork won't happen right away...It takes time and practice and appreciation for the PROCESS of creating something before we can truly appreciate our own art.
