How to be an artist

The article by Jerry Saltz matches up with some of my experiences as an artist because I am slowly improving and developing my artwork as I continue to practice drawing and sketching out my ideas on what kind of art I want to make. The number of lessons I can relate to from the article now is lesson 3 which is imitating, I still use some sources for reference for my artwork. Though I may imitate some of them, I put it in my own form of art. Another lesson I can relate to in this article is lesson 2 because I plan on having my own story about my artwork and what inspired me to create it with what I’ve learned about art throughout the years. The only artist I am familiar with in Jerry Saltz article are Piet Mondrian and Duchamp from my modern art class and some new discoveries I found reading this article is to take things slow and not to rush through all my pieces I’m currently working on. I also learn that my art has its own voice giving it different meanings of how I express my work and how I want it to be represented.
