Thinking about the Artist

Anyone can be an artist; you don't need to be artistically inclined since what one person my consider a 'great' piece of work, another may think is 'awful.' Art is about what you make it out to be and about how you feel about what you make. Sure other people's opinions may be important if you sell your work, but it really is all about how you feel about what you make. Creativity comes from inspiration of all types and forms. It can come from anywhere and anyone. To be productive, an artist needs to have an open mind to let ideas flow through and to be able to look at the world with a new perspective.
