Visual Art Careers 2 2007-09-12 09:16:00 I’m always harping on how an artist should strive to develop his/her own unique voice, so I have included a great quote from a master teacher on that very subject today. Also, after the quote you will find the continuation of the job possibilities for the creative thinker. Thank you for taking the time to stop by for a read.“There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual—become clairvoyant. We reach then into reality. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom.It is in the nature of all people to have these experiences; but in our time and under the conditions of our lives, it is only a rare few who are able to continue in the experience and find expression for it.At such times there is a song going on within us, a song to which we listen. It fills us with surprise. We marvel at it. We would continue to hear it. But few are capable of holding themselves in the state of listening to Read more:Visual

Creative Development 2007-09-07 08:42:00 Robert Henri the great art teacher once said in one of his famous discourses, “Plainly you are to develop as a seer, as an appreciator as well as a craftsman.”Some ideas for development in the creative types:1. Simplify your design to reveal its beauty clearly. Leave no doubt in your viewer’s mind that you meant to make an impact by making a strong statement about your chosen focal point.2. See the shapes.3. Get the tones right it holds the whole together.4. Develop an artistic alphabet.A. For the artist this would be crosshatching, squiggles, dots, gradations and etc.B. Architectural rendering books are a good resource for finding varied texture techniques to use in your art.C. Buy yourself a sketchbook and develop your own doodles by playing and experimenting. Carry your sketch book out into the field and explore for unique textures such as grasses interweaving, different bark textures, notice how the trees interplay with one another, pick up different leaves and look at the va Read more:Development
Creative Evaluation 2007-09-03 23:42:00 First, this article was not wrote to discourage but to give you an honest evaluation of what obstacles stand in your way to being an artist. It is a tool for you to use to determine if you really want to be an artist.Why do I ask so many questions? Because I cannot make you believe something but perhaps I can get you to think it out for yourself. I want you to solve your own problems, I just hope that I might be a little help.I don’t want you to get three years down the line saying, “I wish BoydGreeneArt had of been honest with me.” I know the feeling and I’m building a support network around me that is not afraid to be honest. They can be brutal but their loving honesty never leads me into believing some foible dream that is not possible. They are always ready to point me to reality and more than willing to help me surmount my difficulties. They just don’t call small big and big small.Do I really want to be an artist?“We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the Read more:Evaluation

Re-thinking It All 2007-08-29 23:36:00 Re-imagine! A book written by Tom Peters is probably my favorite business book in my library. It is entertaining, fun, and thought provoking.It has made me think often about how I want to build my art company.How can we re-imagine our companies?How can we re-think ourselves?How can we re-make our publicity campaigns?How can we paint in new creative ways?We must strive to be original. To become original we must come to know ourselves. This takes great striving and acceptance by us of our weaknesses and strengths. We must know that we are weak yet take courage in our strengths.“The painter who goes to Paris, not merely to get two or three years’ thorough training in his art, but with the deliberate purpose of taking up his abode there, and with the intention of following in the ruts worn deep by ten thousand earlier travelers, instead of striking off to rise or fall on a new line, thereby forfeits all chance of doing the best work. He must content himself with aiming at that kind of Read more:thinking
Life's Ambition 2007-08-29 11:34:00 What is the theme of your life?What is it that permeates your life and makes it worth living?When you lie prone, with every bone near to its final stillness, what will you look back and be pleased with when you know there are no more tomorrows?What is the value of your life?What drives your business?What is the higher calling on your life?How can you be truly successful?Abraham Lincoln very early in his political career stated, “Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. He went on to add, “Whether it be true or not, I can say for one that I have no other [ambition] so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem. How far I shall succeed in gratifying this ambition, is yet to be developed.” Did he succeed. I think so and a great many others join hand in hand conferring that he was very successful.Have you worked out your life’s ambition?Do you really know what you want to do with your life?Are you passionate about your Read more:Ambition
