In each of my classes I will be showing this small clip that includes a quote on creating, given by Ira Glass in a 4 part interview done about the creative process of writing. Though this quote is originally in reference to writing, it is presented in an intriguing and creative way! More importantly, I feel that this simple quote applies to all aspects of our lives in areas that we feel not quite good enough.
In the process of creating art, I feel disappointed in my level of ability often. My students work so hard, but are at various levels of skill. Often times, there will be someone who hits a wall, and though they keep trying, they can't seem to get past it and make their art what they want it to be. My message to them is that this is NORMAL and that it does not make them a failure, it makes them a learner. The most crucial point to be taken away from this video is to keep trying, do a lot of work and fight through the doubt!
I hope you find this video to be as inspirational as I have!
