Before I started to learn art, I often felt that “I haven’t made progress.” “I don’t have creative talent. Does this mean that I am not suitable for art?” These two sentences I often use it to question myself. In the process of starting to learn to draw, each artwork is from nothing to have something. It also come from imperfection to constant modification. I am often ashamed of works that I feel the drawing are not satisfied enough. I don’t want others to see my failure. But I remember that my art teacher asked each of us to discharge our work and show it to everyone, and then go to review the work together. This used to be the beginning of my horror. In the article “How to Be an Artist 33 rules to take you from clueless amateur to generational talent” by Jerry Saltz, inside the Lesson 1: Don’t Be Embarrassed deeply touched to me. “Making art can be humiliating, terrifying, leave you feeling foul, exposed, … But art doesn’t have to make sense. It doesn’t even need to be good.” This is a magical conversion process. Yes, not everything is good and perfect, but each one is our own experience and process. The first step in becoming an artist is not to be afraid of the imperfections of your artwork and the courage to show the charm of your work.

I didn’t imagine how to think like an artist, but we know that imagination is a job that no machine can replace and do, and what we have to do is how to realize it. Human beings have changed the earth by creation and inspired the progress and change of the times. Creativity is through our practice of doing this all the time. We can think like an artist through our brain activity.
