Cultivating an Artistic Mentality

Have you ever taken time to sit back and do some reflection on your creative process? Have you thought through, "what this art thing is really all about?" For episode 11 we start to dig into some  of that big-picture creativity stuff: discussing how to approach your creative process with an artistic mentality.  We talk through a paradigm of viewing art as the process of making choices. We discuss the idea of prosody and the importance of intentionality in those choices. I'm still working on refining the thoughts presented in this episode - it's really me starting to flesh out a method for approaching art theory. Unrefined as it is, there's some good ideas in there to chew on a get you thinking about how you can approach the choices in your creative process with intentionality.
