Advice to Young Artists-Ch.6

The Color Monster

             Often times students tend to make up excuses as to why we are not advancing in our work. Excuses such as, I don't know enough about this or that so therefore it won't be as good. These excuses are a bad habit that we  fall into and teachers try to help try to help us with this, but it is important we need change this way of thinking. As beginners we will learn from Munsell system, Lands theory, and all the great artist from the past to further our work and communicate to the audience. As young artists we should remember to seek our teachers for help, and the only way to learn is through trial and error.

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.
