This author believes that art can be a stuggle and difficult to keep doing. She believes that people around you may not support your artistic endeavors so you need to connect with other artists and artists need to support each other.
Although artists feel the urge to create they often pull away from the art of creation. All artists need time, space and money to produce art. And it's often easier not to do something than to do the thing so people do what is easy.
Art education has been cut in many schools so children are not getting a chance to make art, talk to artists or visit museums.
It takes time to start making significant art so don't give up. You have to be equipped with the means and have something to say. Keep working on your art.
Practice concentrating on your art. It takes self-discipline to see something through and carry out your plan.
Rewards can interfere with creativity because they encourage people to focus narrowly and be less willing to take risks.
Develop an understanding why you love your art. Ask what purpose is this piece serving and am I moving forward. Do not think of what the critical or commercial response to the piece will be. External critiques should be finished pieces only not works in progress.
Value your art and use the best materials, time and space you can afford.
Work in series on several pieces in various stages at a time.
The art materials and methods that each artist uses should express something of the artist and his feelings about the world. She dicusses the various art methods.
Review your internal and external barriers in order to take steps to overcome them.
