The passage I found most interesting was Lesson 8, which talked about redefining skill. I connected to this reading because Saltz talks about how artistic skill has nothing to do with the accuracy of drawing more-so on making it your own. I think that this inspires me to want to create art in a different way because what sets an artist apart I would say is their voice and experiences. I would say this inspires me to want to share my expression with others, in my most weirdest, most unfiltered way and share my edge. I think that art and fashion are my favorites are my favorite industries because with both you have control on what you want to express and how. It is truly powerful how a person who can create a new category. I also really think that I follow Lesson 3, I always have a hard time knowing where to start in a project and seeing where other people start truly helps me get past that and get the creative juices flowing. He made an important point about thinking of it as entering a stadium with ideas and it reminds me of kind of like an entryway into a person’s mind. I really enjoy becoming inspired by others and once I know where I want to start or what kind of direction I want to take I would say that makes all of the difference. I would say the thing I struggle most would be lesson 6, start with a pencil and to me this is the hardest part. I would describe myself as a perfectionist and when I am attempting to start a project I need direction, I need to feel like I am going somewhere or I have to have some sort of inspiration so I can move forward, I would say that this was definitely a lesson where I was doing some eye-rolling because it said if you know how to write, you already know how to draw, I think this lesson made me feel like maybe I need to let loose a little more and just play around, it is something, I’ll have to work on!
