What is the main point that you took away from David Bayles and Ted Orland’s Chapter 1 in “ART and FEAR”? We are going to use the ART and FEAR blog to have a REAL STRONG conversation about what it is to be an artist. I WISH I HAD THIS BOOK IN HIGH SCHOOL AND IN COLLEGE. A lot of this is ABOVE YOU and WILL BE for some time… read it – reread it – and do that again. I will be setting out deadlines online for the chapter responses.
