Quotes: “Visual art is a conversation that I don’t think that I’ll ever figure wholly but always endeavor to understand better.” “It’s not about your skillset. It’s about how you use it.” “The idea of, ‘Make a mark to adjust a mark,’ is just a fundamental starting point to clarify that you have to do in order to do better.” “People don’t practice enough. We get pushed ahead to create masterpieces.” “What’s the measure of success? I don’t like it to be money. I don’t even like it to be that I finished something. I’d like it to be that I showed up and put in time. If I can do that I think that I’m moving forward somehow.” “It’s not ‘in it to win it’ with art. Forget that. It’s just being in it.” “It’s really important to be able to be impressed by a student that you might have and to also impress upon them. Something excellent comes out of that.” “It’s too big for us to connect individually. Life is short and art is long. We don’t get to see the whole picture.” Links mentioned: Alexander Soukas on Your Creative Push /    • Alexander Soukas: All education is self-ed...   Florence Academy of Art / http://www.florenceacademyofart.com/ Nelson Shanks / https://www.nelsonshanks.com/ Dennis Miller Bunker / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_...
