Learning Art


An artist is a creative person, who takes charge of their ideas in order to form new expressive visual forms to explain their ideas. Methodology is an idea of different practices, procedures and rules people use when they make work. For instance how an idea is processed and how an image is ultimately chosen for a design are examples of methodology. Artists are constantly creative which explains how and why they come up with the ideas that they do. In some sense they cultivate creativity by following these principles in their lives receptivity, curiosity, connection seeking, having a wide range of interests, attentiveness, conviction and complexity. It is very important to welcome new experiences in your life in order to learn and become a better individual and artist. Being creative and open to new ideas is what makes an artist who they are.

I feel that participating in events like art festivals are some of the best ways to enhance your skills as an artist. I feel that I am very fortunate that I have been able to go to the local Bowling Green Black Swamp Festival for the has eight or so years. Here I am able to see a wide range of interests in one setting. There are tons of different ideas and processes or artwork to be viewed. Here I am able to discover and learn new ways to make art for myself. Not only am I able to view various styles in art I am also given the chance to engage a connection between the artist. A monumental amount of information can bye collected by talking to them, not only about a specific piece of art but also things like their background and the process they go through in producing a finished piece of art. This could potentially establish connections and could invoke a new interest in a medium that possibly was of no interest before the conversation. Events were there are gatherings of artists help to create a good experience of artists of all ages to gain knowledge. Having a rounded background helps to establish people as better artists.
