I know; I may sound biased. After a month, students are not just students anymore; they become friends no matter what. I’m not here to comment on their work—even if the results are impressive—but their attitude. As a teacher, I could not be more proud of their endless will to learn and improve. Also, they get a critical point of image-making.
Masterclass #57 project: V&A Dundee Museum
Images are timestamps of an artist’s skill and mood in a defined moment. An image is subjective; it could be beautiful for someone or ugly for someone else. If you don’t know what you’re doing, an image can be a source of stress or fear; if you’re having fun making it, it could be a moment of joy and the fuel to go on. Creating images could be a life goal, and the journey and its ending are enriching.
Self-criticism is necessary to grow as an artist, but it could quickly become a double-edged blade if you focus only on the mistakes and see an image as the peak of your abilities. SOA Artists know well that an image is a point on a graph. There’ll be another point after this one. And points after points, you’ll see a trend. You want to watch the trend; if you don’t take shortcuts and work hard, it’ll go upward.
I can tell this group of people is one of a kind since everyone is already on the right uplifting path. Just do me a favor: remember to use references 😉
A big hug,
Rob.
