| There is anything wrong with that, but if you want to create something like "art" you should do something better than just what a textbook says. |
| I think if you follow the textbook, you have completed your work and you look at it, you can say that you have followed the views of others, you have created what others have determined to be good. It will certainly be good, but it has no individual touch of the creator himself. |
| When you stick to the textbook you are following another person's way of performing a task. This works well until you're competing for a higher than average position. When you want to become a specialist you have to be able to contribute something unique to the field. If you're attempting to gain recognition from an audience you generally have to create works that resonates or grabs at people's attention. Authentic self expression or 'adding one's personality' is one way of doing this, but requires the creator to be open with themselves, vulnerable with their audience, and willingness to freely let creation flow out. The last part is particularly more difficult than one can imagine, you have to let your hands move how they want, to type sentences you find embarrassing, or to allow your hips to swing a certain way in dance. The safety in following a textbook is our ability to say "I was only following instructions!" When we act freely we have to take responsibility for our moves, which may end up falling flat on the audience. Aahh so embarrassing! The pressure is high whenever we show a part of our true self! |
