what is creativity

Creativity is allowing oneself to make mistakes...art is knowing which ones to keep.

  • Didn't Jackson Pollock have a different take on whether it was a mistake or it was art.

  • Yes Jackson accepted the mistake as part of the art making process. With his process oriented style of working, i think that allowed him to be free which in the end made his work truly a spontaneous art form

  • I love Adam's quote. I think every artist has "closet art." Those works that you keep to make you humble. But, I think taking risks is important.
