A brief talk on the Art of being an Artist delivered at an all day workshop we hosted at our Culture Design Lab that included yoga, painting and talks on being an artist. Meant to be a rough framework and introduction to the concepts.
35. “Supreme art is a traditional
statement of certain heroic
and religious truths, passed
on from age to age, modified
by individual genius, but
never abandoned.”
– William Butler Yeats
42. The capacity to contemplate perfection of form without any kind of
worldly agenda. It is the ability to connect to a higher self, one in which
love, freedom or beauty, or any other absolute exists in a state of
Platonic ideal.
Aesthetics
Empathy
The capacity to connect to other viewpoints in this reality. Perceive, feel,
think that which some other apparent point of perception is
experiencing.
