Jeffrey Saltz’ How to be an Artist

https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/jerry-saltz-how-to-be-an-artist.html

Lesson 4: Art Is Not About Understanding. Or Mastery.

It is about doing and experience.

​

No one asks what Mozart means. Or an Indian raga or the little tripping dance of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to “Cheek to Cheek” in Top Hat. Forget about making things that are understood. I don’t know what Abba means, but I love it. Imagination is your creed; sentimentality and lack of feeling your foe. All art comes from love — love of doing something.

Advice for clay

  • Oh my gosh wrap up your clay. Once it is gone, it is gone. Except for the first day of slip

​

  • Use some moist paper towel to smooth out the surface of the slip.

​

  • Your clay might be too wet to carve today. Put it out and be patient.

​

  • Carve your pattern with a sharp pencil. You probably want to use a transfer. Go complex.
