This is very helpful, thank you. I started a family when I was 20, now I'm 39 and I am able to dive back into art but I've felt kind of lost and your videos have been SO valuable to me. Another thing that has helped is that I life model; it has let me keep a foot in the door and glean the information the professor is giving the students. Then I can put it to practice when I get home 🙂

I am as a matter of my daily work regimen theorizing. It is part and parcel of my daily art process. This can encompass several hours. I write my ideas, critique observations and relevant thoughts, placing them in “Art Notes “ on my iPad. I have much material to peruse and apply. There are also the most curious things that come to mind in the night and or early morning hours. I write all these down. Familiarizing myself with who I am as an artist is important. I consider this time part of my art hours logged as working. Quite frankly I am well positioned to applying your thoughts and ideas. Not only here but in other CAI videos that apply. When money constraints ease movement in these directions will follow. Thank you for your insights. My thoughts are wishing you there, all success in your mentioned show.

"Familiarizing myself with who I am as an artist is important." This is truly a great sentence! As an artist, you need to discover your own vision and try to capture it, which is a lot harder than it sounds. Writing it down and working with it on a daily basis is exactly what it takes. Thank you Daniel, as always, and wishing you the very best!

@@contemporaryartissueThank you for your continued encouragement. I’ve signed up for your upcoming video I think it drops on the 19th, looking forward to that one. See you then!

I love the way you talk. Very easy to understand and tips you probably won't find anywhere else. Thank you! I am a retired commercial artist. I now find my paintings of daylilies don't sell easily as my drawings of rubber tires did. So your helpful tips are valuable to me. Thanks!

Your videos have been very informative and useful for me over the years. Thank you for your time, effort, and research. I recently had to work on my Artist Statement as I applied to have some of my work featured at The Arts Council in my city. It took me 3 hours to write 4 sentences (There was a character limit), but recalling back to some of your videos certainly aided me in the process of forming this Artist Statement. I wasn't very hopeful, as I applied at the very last minute and was able to upload only 3 photos of my work. However, I just found out that I will be a featured artist for over a month this year. I will have an entire 30 foot wall space to showcase my work in my first ever Gallery showing! This video in particular would have been nice to reference to, but again I just wanted to sincerely thank you for this channel. It has truly helped me focus on my craft more and is an aid in my artists journey.

I have been missing this puppy! Oh and the art content and its creator. Ok, I just finished the vid. Wow, thanks for being a good mentor who shares these practical experiences and the nitty-gritty of it all! No BS, no gatekeeping. 👍🏻 The art world needs it.

A wonderful video. Thank you so much. I'm learning some great things about AS that I did not know about or fully comprehend before I wrote and submitted about three AS so far. So your video is on a loop for an obvious reason. 🙂🎨🖌

This was so informative and I love that you have provided a sort of template. Question: how does one find an art critic one can work with?

Thank you Julien for defining a professional outline and purpose. It a pleasure to hear from you again. I did some exercises from the free course offered at the Creative Capital website. It really delved me into observing my own work in a new, growing perspective with the exercises they suggested.Challenging… but that is growth isn’t it? I feel it would be beneficial to have a tool for this that is Not ai generated…somehow…and that it would be of even more value. Sincerely, Janet

@contemporaryartissue 17 күн бұрын

Hi Janet, likewise, great to hear you once more. Sounds terrific, and yes, that is exactly what progress is-challenging yourself. The role of the AI is actually rather limited. The questions formulated in the tool get you started by providing the right information, and after we have written all the important information, the AI improves the quality of the text and writing-especially for those who do not have the required writing skills in English. Have a great day!

Hopefully these pointers can get you started to build that foundation so talking about your art will become easy/easier. Wishing you all the best!

Horrible timing. I could have used this yesterday. I was reflecting on my discomfort when I talk to others about my art. "My art isn't yet ready." This will help.
