Raz Does Newsletter - Ah, Collage!
Im glad to have been able to go to college tho, and I think these are the things that helped me and my art the most:
-Make friends; If I make art for people to see, I need to know what people will see, and how they see things. The more perspectives of people you see, the more you can understand how to display imagery to create a feeling for the viewers
-Mentors; Being surrounded by artists irl is an amazing experiance- we pushed each other the best way possible, and were able to grow bc of seeing other people's art and seeing how they make art. (tldr; easy access to critiques)
-Experience Life; The life of an artist can get monotonous. We found what we love, and are ok with simply creating for the rest of our lives. But as you meet other artists, you are going to want to have new things to talk about besides art. Go outside! Celebrate life! Meet people and see their perspectives! Having things to talk abt outside of art can only make your art better. (podcasts have filled this void for me)
These life skills are really things I need to get back into-i've been enjoying the artist shut-in life, but making art is only a part of life - not all of life.
Much Love,
Faraz
p.s. print store is finally open again! yay! I am legally obligated to make each email just a bit longer each time, so I'm filling in space with this last sentence <3
