The Artist's Mindset Checklist
Lack of motivation, self doubt, artist’s block and all the other things that stop you making art are caused by having the wrong mindset. The questions below will help you to check if you have the right mindset…
Questions that should have “No” for the answer, if you answer “Yes” you may have a problem.
- Do you make art to please someone other than yourself?
- Do you think making art is all about skill, knowledge and the right materials?
- Do you make art to be accepted in exhibitions or clubs?
- Do you make art just for the money?
- Do you want to compete with other artists?
- Do you measure and compare your art with other artists?
- Do you feel the need to rationalise and explain your art?
Questions that should have “Yes” for the answer, if you answer “No” you may have a problem.
