Tips from our instructors - a series of insights into learning art


Q: What are the challenges faced by beginners who have just started their journey
     of learning painting?  (Part 3)
Copying instead of interpreting
of copying. In fact, art involves the process of
creation and interpretation. Artists incorporate
their own ideas, emotion, expressions into their
artworks.

The merit of a painting is not solely determined
by how real or how close it resembles real life
objects.  One of the criteria of good art is based
on how sincere the artist in expressing his/her
feeling. Artworks should reveal creative touch
and emotional traces
.

Tip: We should learn to interpret and create
from the early stage of learning. Not mere
copying.
Dare not take risk

We are generally afraid of making mistake.
Mistakes however help in our learning.
Learning art involves problem solving. We learn
to solve problems from our mistakes.

Most of the time, when faced with problem, we
expect instant solutions. We prefer to be
spoon-fed with direct answers. We are not too
keen in finding out how does the answer
arrives.



Tip: Do not avoid mistakes. Learn from them.
"Creativity is allowing yourself to make
keep. "
Scott Adams

"Computers are useless. They can only
give you answers. "
Pablo Picasso
"I am interested in ideas, not merely in
visual products."
Marcel Duchamp

"An art which isn't based on feeling isn't
an art at all. "
Paul Cezanne
“no hidden agenda
no goal to achieve
we do art as it is
an enjoyment
a fulfilment
a passion of the soul”
