Art & Fear

"If you but into the premise that art can be made only by people who are extra-ordinary, such down periods noly serve to confirm that you arent."

This summer while I was in an art class with some of the most talented artists I have ever met. Everything they created was unique and seemed almost too perfect for a human to create. As one of the more ameatur artists in the class I immediatly stepped back. I didn't understand why these people could create unbelievable art while I struggled. After weeks of frustration, a self portrait was assigned. I aggonized just thinking about the hours I would have to spend on it after going back to my dorm. As I sat down at my desk and started to draw, things seemed to go smoothly. Before I knew it, my self portrait was done and I was finally excited to go into class the next morning and show off what I created.
