The purpose of art is not to be good at it.
The purpose of art is for SELF-EXPRESSION.
The reason we hone our craft – ie “get good” at it – is to better express. So that our self-expression is as full and free and clear and powerful as it can be. And that’s awesome.
Corollary:
The purpose of art is not to get praise.
The purpose of art is for SELF-EXPRESSION.
Whether we are acknowledged, or not, whether we are rewarded, or not, whether we are lauded, or not, if our self-expression is true, then we have done true art.
