One Minute Art Lesson: When You HATE Your Art

One Minute Art Lesson: When You HATE Your Art

Posted by Kate Manville-Schwartz on Oct 1st 2021

What can you do when you HATE your art? Don't look at it! I'm serious. 

All art goes through a 'ugly' stage, this is often where I say, 'Trust the process and keep going', or, 'You've got a great start!'. If a student really gets hung up on how things are turning out, I will say, 'Come back to it in a little bit and give your eyes a break'. When your art starts to look like it's going nowhere, our eyes have just looked at it too much. We've memorized every spot you don't like and that can easily block our creative flow and discourage you from continuing the artistic process. 

Listen in to hear Kate speak about when this happened to one of our adult art students!
