Good evening Marshall and dear peers!
I wanted to share kind of a vulnerable view, so maybe others can share how to overcome it. I had a lot of resistance with this assignment, as well as the previous one of creating a personal library of authors/masters we admire. I personally get discouraged and side tracked by looking at others work. I did a good amount of copies back at Art Academy, and I realized that the satisfaction of emulating somebody’s trick or style was a very short lived ego satisfaction. I became really good at copying a look, but the essence of interpreting and valuing based on my own tastes and beauty standards, didn’t develop. My reaction was to not look at the work of others trying to steal, but to struggle myself trying to decipher my own values. Even today, when I look at these pieces of art, I feel my heart sinks because I am still far away from reaching those levels. I do enjoy working on assignments that test my thinking/sensibility skills because those align with the idea of growing my own library of visuals. Does anyone can offer a perspective shift to provoke a change of heart? Thank you in advance to all of you for your honest, personal responses.
