We do not need to teach students to embrace the status quo.
Please stop waiting for a map. We reward those who draw maps, not those who follow them.
Art is the act of navigating without a map.
Busy does not equal important. Measured doesn't mean mattered.
Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.
Not only must you be an artist, must you be generous, and must you be able to see where you can help but you must also be aware. Aware of where your skills are welcomed.
