The creative act is the synthesis and manifestation of an artist’s unique take on their collected experiences, influences, and inspirations.
The artist, then, benefits immensely from exposure to as much creative stimulus as possible, but must actively assess what experiences and creative tools to utilize.
Today’s round table is the first in a series which delves into a book about this very process.
Austin Kleon’s "Steal Like an Artist" details thoughts and strategies for engaging in life to accrue inspiration and artistic influences.
Each episode in this series will examine one or more chapters as a springboard for discussion on the very Stage Hackers-esque concept of stealing like an artist.
