Why did an artist become an artist?

how do artists get inspiration and find unique styles or creative themes?

Will Gomez, editor-in-chief of BBC Art Channel, the author of Think Like an Artist, found that these top and greatest creative thinkers in the world are extremely curious, brave and thoughtful.

With the advent of the era of artificial intelligence, more and more people are eliminated, and those who will never be replaced are the people with the qualities of artists. Because the robot has no human brain and can't create, it can carry out human orders, but it can't have the emotion, enthusiasm and passion like human beings to create a vital work of art from scratch.

how can we become a person who lives in the future? Each of us can learn from the artist's experience and rely on the artist's quality, so now, it's time to think like an artist!

to think like an artist, the most important thing is to learn from the self-confidence in the artist's inner blood. ?

Everyone is an artist

Pablo Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to keep this talent after growing up."

Everyone has the creative ability. Why do some people grow up and become artists? What is the biggest difference between them?

The author said: All successful ideas, whether novelists, film ideas or philosophers, have clear and identifiable characteristics. These characteristics are not unusual and extraordinary qualities, but are found in everyone, but some people forget that all these successful creative people are very confident.

In the variety show "Summer of the Band", penicillin bluntly said: We are the best post-91s band in China, and there is no one; Click#15 looks contemptuous and arrogant about the music he doesn't like, but once immersed in music, Ricky+, the hottest Martian brother in China, and Yang Ce, the six-fingered piano player, are the perfect partner, and no one can beat him. They are extremely confident in themselves and don't need to ask for advice. This is the attitude of rock bands, and they grow up violently with their physical enthusiasm. Dare to say yes to fate and take full responsibility. Their lives are full of infinite tension.

artists don't wait for invitations from others

artists don't ask anyone's permission before painting, writing, performing and singing, but follow their hearts. The creativity of artists is not enough to separate them from ordinary people, or to widen the distance between them. Because everyone has creativity, the key point is that artists can find their own fields of interest and pay great attention to this field, which ignites their imagination and makes their talents available.

why is it so important to find advantages? Because self-confidence can be bred by joining the enthusiasm advantage. A person's vitality is based on confidence. "Everyone's confidence in himself is different. As long as you carry the power of confidence, whatever you do is right, because the state and frequency of the whole person are right, so whatever you do is right. However, some people live in self-denial and self-criticism every day. No matter what kind of advice people give him, there is no way to present it in the end. The belief and confidence of the body can't support him to push his talents out. "

Artists' different ways of working and thinking

The top 111 qualities of artists are: the artist is enterprising, the artist will not fail, the artist is extremely curious, the artist will steal, the artist is skeptical, the artist will "make the most of the details", the artist has his own views, the artist is brave, the artist will stop to think, and all schools should be art schools.

1. Artists are enterprising. Artists are entrepreneurs. Their essence is to create things from scratch.

Some people believe what they see and become the majority; Some people see it because they believe it, and they become very few. When they believe, things only exist in their minds, and they are in an empty state. They have blueprints in their minds, and they have created them from scratch in this world with their hands for more people to see. What can support their creation is the rich imagination from the heart. Emerson once said: in art, our hands can never shape things higher than our hearts imagine.

Imagine that all the things you have created now, such as computers, stereos, cabinets, etc., were originally in the designer's mind.

When I was playing in Xiamen and saw the above group of roots, I observed them carefully: they are intertwined, and sometimes they are like the pens of Ma Liang, telling historical stories; Sometimes, like dancing dancers, they move with the wind; Sometimes, they are like a group of brave soldiers, calling the shots and rushing to the front ... Through inner imagination, they can become many different things. This process is to start the artist's brain and create from scratch.

artists are not difficult and not far away. It's just that you open up a brand-new perspective and a brand-new version of an event that everyone is used to and familiar with, and everyone is an artist. This ability is of great commercial value.

2. Artists will not fail.

If you sort out the careers of genius creators, whether entrepreneurs, scientists or artists, you may find an unexpected similarity between them. Their success is often achieved by plan B.

Shakespeare, who was originally an actor, became a playwright; Leonardo da Vinci originally promoted himself as a weapons designer. As long as you have the thinking of awareness and verification, there are many people who have succeeded in the artist's plan B.

This enlightens us that those successful people never give up. When there is no way out, they must not stop to complain, but try to expand on this basis and finally find a brand-new way to help them go on.

Those who pursue creative goals will regard life as a laboratory, and everything you do will not be wasted. In artists, there is no concept of failure. Even if they encounter failure, they will still think about what can be preserved and what can be abandoned when they continue to go down.

those that remain often become plan B. UP Zimu, when the traditional media couldn't get through, began to try Plan B, set UP an up reading club, and gradually found his own talent and enthusiasm.

keep a plan b for yourself.

As human beings, each of us is born with creative capital and needs. The only thing we have to decide is what we want to express, through what media, to start a company, invent products, design a website, draw a picture, develop a vaccine and so on. Everyone has to decide what to express himself. Because everyone is unique, you must find your own passion. For example, painting, food, Mayan interpretation, photography, writing, and matching talent with expression can last for a long time. ?

3. Artists will "steal".

artists are very good at drawing lessons from and mixing blood.

Newton once said: I succeeded because I stood on the shoulders of giants.

Picasso said: excellent artists imitate, great artists steal. This reflects the * * * nature of artists: they all combine all kinds of knowledge and sects.

Picasso is actually very good at stealing other people's wisdom. He studied Van Gogh, Cezanne, Monet and African sculpture, and integrated other people's wisdom and creativity to form his own things.

? 4. Artists are extremely curious.

the premise of creating interesting things is to be interested in something. Those passions and passions are the strength that spurs us to keep learning. This force makes us have the impulse to think, to learn new knowledge, to stimulate imagination, to act, to try, and to let ideas fall to the ground. This is a creative process.

In this process, it is very important to devote yourself to a specific field. After all, time and energy are limited. Only by focusing on what you really love can you arouse your creativity.

Therefore, we should protect children's curiosity in our daily life. Curiosity will lead them to find enthusiasm, take the initiative to learn, keep thinking, gain knowledge, stimulate imagination, and inspire and create ideas one by one.

5. Artists should have their own opinions.

no matter personal brand or IP, you should have your own values and keep exporting.

Every artist should have his own opinions. When you look at something, you should have your own unique and firm opinion.

an important way is to read books and travel. Don't let yourself have an empty opinion, you can't just talk without doing it. Do more and get things done, so that your views can be justified.

a great way to change your point of view: in fact, there is a proven and very effective way, which is to change the environment. Changing your environment can completely change your point of view, because the interruption of thinking will make you have to face unfamiliar things, which will stimulate your senses, and you will look at and experience life from different angles, so your impulse to capture and express emotions will be enhanced.

That's why people prefer to take pictures when they are far away from home. You will explore topics that are not noticed, and at the same time, you will have a new awareness of what you are already familiar with. This change may mean changing jobs, moving, or moving to another city. For example, Peter, a contemporary artist, even moved to another continent for this reason.

travel more when you have time. Travel can interrupt our habitual thinking. In a strange environment, we must deal with different people from different perspectives. Only when the old things are relaxed will new things emerge.

read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road. When your mind shines with vitality, it is creative.
