Photoshop gives us the rare opportunity to embrace our creative minds with technology. This is a photo some anonymous person posted on Facebook, and I really don’t post political cartoons on my blog, but this is pretty creative.
Even if you like or don’t like Obama and Biden you should enjoy the creative mind.
The Pastel world is a whole new adventure for me. For any artist it s good to expand your horizons and try new things. Sometimes you will be successful and other times walk away at the end of the day wondering about the experience.
What we need to know is that every artist has an opinion about art and we don’t necessarily have to tie into or agree with that opinion. An educated artist, which many of us are, does not immediately agree or disagree with another artists philosophy, for that is what it is. It is their world and possibly not yours.
Each and everyone of us has a valuable opinion and when we take classes we need to realize the instructor is only a venue for us to view things from his or her perspective, give a new or different slant on our knowledge, acknowledge their expertise and realize we may view the world through entirely different eyes.
Creativity is subtraction, but you chose to subtract may be different from anyone else. I once read that nothing is more paralyzing than the idea of limitless possibilities. Constraints or limits sometimes help us create.
Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat with only 236 different words. His editor challenged him he couldn’t write a book with only 50 different words. He won by writing Green Eggs and Ham, one of the bestselling books of all times.
“Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the money in the world, all the colors in the palette, anything you want – that just kills creativity.”
