Jerry Saltz lists 33 rules to illustrate how to be a creative artist, and these rules can often be put into our lives to make our lives more meaningful. The article mentioned, “Feel free to imitate”. In this rule encourages us to draw more inspiration from other artists’ styles or technical methods and imitate or copy them. This can be a valuable and creative opportunity for an emerging artist to gain a source of creative inspiration from these works and combine their ideas with the inspiration gained from them. Give yourself a deeper understanding of new technologies and art forms. After all, “imitate” is not the ultimate option in our lives. It will only be a reference method to understand other artists’ styles. When you get more creative inspiration from them, you should strive to transcend these imitations and create your unique style works. “Feel free to imitate” is a valuable part of every artist’s journey, especially when emerging artists are honing their craft. It will be a means to learn and gain inspiration, but rules like this will only be a stepping stone to help new artists find their artistic voice and style. This interpretation not only applies to art but also resonates with life in general. We often learn from those who came before us, drawing inspiration and guidance from their experiences. Over time, we combine these lessons with our unique life experiences, values, and aspirations to shape our paths.
