Although there is a movement of the non-requirement of not need the learn skills to create art, I feel like there is something missing when the tools are missing from one’s hands or mind. On my path of learning more and refining my skills and knowledge, I found that the mistakes and hiccups to be pretty illuminating. Not only that, but I also enjoy the feeling of intimacy when I create for myself or another. The further I see those from their creations, the more see the intimacy lacking. And maybe that isn’t necessary. Perhaps I am a hopeless romantic that takes too long. The pressure and availability to max out efficiency is everywhere, but I don’t want to lose…this.
