Have you ever gone to a museum or a show and been completely blown away by a piece? If you haven't, go out and get cultured. I'm a student at the College of Visual and Performing Arts where we create all kinds of art every day. But I don't think those people truly know the difficulties and struggles in the process of making art.
First of all, we need to be inspired. You may think that's easy. In fact, anything can serve as a concept of a work of art. Sometimes we will need people, volunteers, bodies to do so and finding willing people to work is hard. Other times we have a clear idea of what we want but we don't know how to make other people fully understand what we're trying to get at.
We need a space to be able to be creative and that can be tricky to acquire. Sometimes we need art supplies or certain equipment and costumes and that can cost money. Even if we do acquire what we need, visions change and mistakes happen so we might not end up using the resources.
The process can take weeks, months, and even years to be fully realized. Once completed, we need to share it and find an audience and provide an environment to display our work. What if nobody likes what we created? What if our vision isn't what we thought though completed?
Creating art is an art in itself. It is really not as easy as many people think. It's how we express ourselves and how we communicate with the rest of the world.
A. Outsiders think our jobs easy. B. We should be quiet and creative. C. We might choose other fields as well. D. Resources are also a huge factor in making art. E. The hard part comes when we put our ideas into reality. F. And the negative thoughts love to overpower our minds. G. It takes time, patience and space when things don't go as expected. |
