The Art of Being an Artist

Seeing only flaws, crudities, mistakes & being unsatisfied with your work are only one of the things an artist has to deal with every day.

Quote by Martha Graham
Video concept is inspired by Thomas Blanchard's video: bit.ly/2gGJ3MJ
Check out his work here: bit.ly/2gygbpa It's amazing! Made me realise that I want a macro lens to get those amazing shots ;_;
Watch the video completely to find out how it is made!
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique.
And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.
You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased.
[There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time.
There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." ~Martha Graham
As an artist we want to create art that we are proud of and that we want to share with the world. But sometimes we think it is horrible, not perfect, not the way we imagined.
At the same time we take for granted what other people think of our work. They might not see exactly what we wanted them to see, but they see exactly what they are meant to see.
We can strive to become better and strive for perfection of our art and skills, but at the end of the day people that are looking at our work and start thinking about it, they are the ones who make the art alive and give it meaning.
As an artist you give people a reason to start thinking, imagining things and to feel by looking at your art.
But as your art is unique, what people see and what the art means to them is unique as well.
So let the others decide.
Keep creating and expressing yourself. Put your imagination into art to find and to lose yourself. At the same time give others the
opportunity to interpret the piece they way it's best for them right now.
I hope you enjoy this video!
Have a wonderful day everyone! See you in my next video!

Hey guys! I'm mako and I'm glad you stumbled upon my channel! On my channel you will usually find weekly DIY gift ideas for Christmas, birthday, your friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, family, cat lover, dog lovers and fans of Harry Potter, creativity, biology, unicorn lover, DIY home & room decor, how to & panting videos, Halloween DIYs, tips & tricks and other tutorials for back to school season and other occasions! Wow that was a long explanation! But I also love sharing art and inspirational videos to encourage you guys to express yourself in your unique way without fear! Creating things on your own such as DIYs, paintings, gifts are not only more affordable, fun and easy to make, but they are always personalised gifts, DIYs and creations. This makes your art unique and one of a kind! This time I wanted to experiment with another technique that I discovered recently. You only need oil, milk, paint and soap liquid. Combine different colours to create beautiful colour combinations and enjoy what is going to happen!

[@squidaker]

makoccino I'm gonna do this and place a piece of paper on it and see what happens.

[@leoniem.5346]

makoccino du machst das toll!💕

[@sapitos4]

"to the urges that motivate you..." That resonated in me. I have "an urge" to learn to express myself with 'art'. Why? I don't know, but I can't stop now. Just learned to draw eyelashes that don't look like spiders thanks to you.

[@humanbeing9089]

Love this! Both the words that flow, as well as the art work. Thank you so much Makoccino :)

[@hershythechocolate]

I totally love this video, the message is wonderful

[@Makoccino]

I'm so happy to hear that!

[@samiaahmad8705]

Amazing art, technique, and message. You're so good at expressing yourself. The whole video was mesmerizing and calming.

[@z8092]

Thank you so much mako for this I think as humans we degrade ourselves when we see something we like more than our own work We see imperfections that no one else does but that's what makes a piece truly great And that's something that's lost nowadays

[@Makoccino]

One of my art teachers said that it's totally normal to think that someone else's art is better because we think that as it just looks different to ours! It doesn't mean it's worse or ugly, our brain is just like that! I think it's normal for us to start comparing ourselves, but we should also remind us, that sometimes it's not helpful at all! Because we are all unique and we should focus on our strength and work!

[@beckyquinn]
