The Make Art portion of this article shows us the author’s definition of art. It also shows us that in order to make art we must be willing to take the risk of someone not liking it or getting laughed at because of it. During the Acknowledging The Lizard portion of the article, the author tells us that this concept basically is the little voice inside telling us that we will not succeed. He shows us that this lizard is keeping us people as artists from branching out and finding our own creativity in the world. During the failure portion of the article, the author tells us that it is almost necessary for us as artists to be willing to fail. Throughout the years, it has been shown that failure leads to success in the long run. With this failure, we are fighting the resistance and succeeding.
The three terms that I summarized in my last paragraph can be related to this blog in many different ways. All seven of these terms that are talked about in that article are connected in one way or another. This being said, the three that I chose to summarize were the three items that I thought connected the most. These three items go hand in hand in with one another perfectly.
The section titled make art can definitely be directly related to these blog assignments. I feel like these blogs give us the opportunity to be as creative as we would like and be as artistic as possible. More specifically, the making of art can be related to our first blog post that asked us to create a super hero and villain and deconstruct them to the most basic of forms. This assignment really forced us to be creative in a couple of different ways. One way in which we had to be creative was in the creation of the super hero and villain. Another way that we had to be creative was when we had to deconstruct these two characters. This challenged us to think outside of the box and make art.
The section titled acknowledge the lizard also related to these blogs for me at least. I can not speak for my other classmates, but the entire time that I was writing these blogs, I had that voice telling me that I was doing something wrong. This is what is referred to as the lizard. My lizard was definitely trying to keep me from finishing this blog. It took all of my creative energies to defeat this terrible beast.
The section titled fail did not relate to these blogs per say. We were not meant to fail at these blogs for this is the only chance we get before receiving our grade. However, it can directly relate to this class in a way. We do multiple presentations throughout this quarter in this class. This being said, we may fail at one of these presentations however that failure will push us to a point where we can succeed at the following presentations during the quarter.
The bottom line is this: these blogs are a great way to use our out of class time. They really give us a prime opportunity to be creative which is what this class is all about. All in all, I think that these blogs are a great assignment and it is definitely not a waste of our time at all.
