Art & Fear

1. "Were talent a prerequisite, then the better the artwork, the easier it would have been too make" (27).

2. "...To require perfection is to invite paralysis" (30).

3. For the artist, the dilemma seems obvious: risk rejection by exploring new worlds, or court acceptance by following well-explored paths" (43).

       I can relate to all these quotes because they are all something I experience almost every time I make artwork. Art does require a lot of talent and time it is not something that you get the first time. You have to work and continue working to become a good artist. With art you need to try something new even if it does not work out at least you tried it rather then doing something you know you are good at and not pushing yourself to use different mediums ect. You also have to realize that nothing is going to come out perfect with your work but that flaws can make something beautiful. The quotes are very similar to my art. I love to try new things to see if something can work out even if its not perfect I will know that that specific thing is not for me.
