Remember that all those people you think are classic artists and amazing? Yeah a bunch of them did that same shit.<\/p>\n

Monet shredded canvases because he didn\u2019t want them shown. He claimed that it was better to show nothing than to show such \u201cmediocre\u201d work.<\/a><\/p>\n

Gerhard Richter destroyed art that he made that, today, would have been worth hundreds of millions of euros.<\/a><\/p>\n

Michelangelo made tens of thousands of drawings. We have about 600 left. Because he burned most of the rest.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is prevalent among the people many of use would consider to be the best of us. Even people like Monet suffer from the idea that their work isn\u2019t good enough or that their work doesn\u2019t meet their expectations.<\/p>\n

Do the work anyway. Bad art, art you hate, art you\u2019re not satisfied with? It\u2019s still art. It\u2019s still worth making. And even if you hate it you DO get something out of it.<\/p>\n

Trust me, I have gigabytes of sketches on my pc that are never going to see the light of day but they were worth doing.<\/p>\n

Everything you do doesn\u2019t have to be perfect. Statistically everything you do simply won\u2019t be perfect.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not worth making or that it\u2019s not valuable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
