Artist and Artist's Image

                   As artists it is imporant to maintain self disipline and remain constant at our work. Artists should also strive for making his art the very best it can be not just satisfied when they think its good. When students leave school and they don't have the instructor sometimes work seems to become lack the finishing touches. Also in work we need to decide and ask the question who is  our audience. No matter who the audience is; its good to not give everything away let the audience decide on thier own it will have more effect. In creating art remember to have fun thats when we create the best work.

Tradition and the New in Current Art

              As artists we start with our own traditions that we have adapted over the years with but, we also encounter new experiences that give us new ideas. In this chapter it says,'If the ideas are there, technique will follow.' Although in having these new ideas it could takes years to master, its not something all of the sudden. Teachers should push the artist to practice strongly all the time to reach the artist goal. In practicing its still always good to listen to criticism and, not only to good praises. Listening only to the good praises can slow your progress down. Through criticism we will progress faster, along with practice.

Advice to Young Artists-Ch. 3

       As an artist going to school we should soak up as much as we can. We can do this by being determined to learn even if we don't think what we need. It's also important for students to show interest in learning to their teachers. This inspires the teacher to more enthusiastic and wanting to teach, rather than become boring. In learning we should be able to take criticism it will only help us become more knowledgeable and better our abilities. Also its important for teachers to educate us in not just one aspect but to teach us multiple scenarios to help us not be illiterate to the art world As artists we need to learn everything we while we can in school, and encourage our teachers to share their knowledge.
