3 Keys for Artistic Growth – Look, Speak, Listen

How do you help people make more authentic work? The most important thing to do is to find out where they are now and what they need most. How do you find this out? Look at their work. Listen to them speak. Watch them work. You can do the same for someone else.
You can do all of this for yourself. Look, speak, listen. Look at yourself looking. Listen to yourself speaking. Listen to yourself listening. Make notes. Do this without judgement. Just become more aware of yourself and your process. Simply becoming more aware of your process, both external and internal, helps you make more authentic work. You discover your voice. Make time and space for your voice. It’s extremely rewarding.

    JP, you couldn’t BE more right! This is true not only in art, but in life. I find that the more authentic I am, the better work I do — no matter what field that work is. Thanks for the reminder!
