My Advice to Aspiring Artists:
I. How to Deal with Hitting the Wall
By: F.K. Art Intern Nimah Bhura
We all have that one thing we love, that we’re great at. For me, it’s art; I believe I’m a great artist. However, that belief doesn’t hold strong all the time. There is always a process in which people do things. While the activity might differ, the process remains relatively similar.
First, you start by fully believing in yourself; you fantasize the task at hand to be minimally difficult, and you begin. You start the activity; in an artist’s case you may start to paint. After a while you take a step back and realize what you’ve created is complete garbage. There are no polite words that could describe your work. That is when you hit the wall. You’re frustrated, so you start over and come up with new ideas to fix it. In any case, you keep going; you never give up when hit with obstacles. Finally, after the frustration, sweat, and tears, you look back and see a masterpiece. Hitting the wall is pivotal, it separates the good from the great; thus, when you reach that wall don’t turn back, but persist.
