so i had a meeting with my critique group
about this funny idea of mine
about how i am my own work of art
i guess they all agreed
yes we can all be our own work of art
but they ask "how can you pull that off?"
"how would the exhibit look like?"
yeah i kinda wonder that too
it seems really self centered to me
but the way i see it is this
i will have a website
which shows the different things that i do
which are also traditionally viewed as creative
such as writing, music, photography and painting
i guess that's the beginning
then the exhibitions will show all these things together
the more i think about this, the more i realize that
this really isn't a new thing
i mean, MySpace shows alot of people who shows
people's various talents and such
but in a more professional level
you have famous artists being publicly creative in a variety of ways
Tony Bennet isn't only an actor, singer and showman but also a painter
Andy Warhol didn't just paint, but he did video and photography as well
JLo is a dancer, actress and a singer
oh and she's also a designer
you have to admit JLo did it and is doing it.
I recently discovered the title to these types of artists
they are called interdisciplinary artists
yeah
so i don't think i'm doing anything new
but i think i want to evolve from only being a painter
to an artist
an interdisciplinary artist
one that uses a variety of tools and genres to
exhibit one's creativity
yeah that's kinda tough
specially since my time is so limited
but we'll give it a shot
well
it may never happen
i might not be able to build the website that i want to build
who knows if i can actually evenly evolve all forms of my creativity
into something exhibitable
but we'll keep the goal in mind
