Are you inspired by the Olympic athletes? Did you dream of competing as a kid? Or do you see them as an interruption of your regular TV programing?
I was struck by the differing reactions of two US athletes, who both had just won a bronze medal in their events. One was in tears because, it was not the gold she was slated to win, and the other was jumping up and down with shouts of pure joy. They both had won the same medal, and yet had nearly opposite experiences.
How do you respond to the events of your day with joy? or disappointment? How about in your art making? Do you see less than perfect results as failure or opportunity?
If you would like to see”failure” as opportunity, and want to play with printmaking, then check out the next session of Make Monotypes. Registration opens on February 21st. (This class filled in less than 24 hours, so make sure you are on this list.)
