If you want to fly a kite, you have to think outside the box …and then all you need is wind.
Can you connect the 9 dots without taking your pen off the page using only 4 lines?
Gottschaldt Figurine hint: “think outside the box.”
Most everything in life requires very little creative thinking so “outside the box,” is rarely needed. I could write a lot about why so much of art is not outside of the box related. It seems that many artists consider much of what they do as creative outside of the box stuff, but I say no. If you are an artist then it’s not outside the box. Outside the box thinking is for non-artists to think more like artists.
What happens in art is in the mind of the artist, so you could say it’s “inside the box” thinking. …Not very interesting at all. What makes good art is the wind, the lift, or even magic that you experience in the presents of good art.
Please see my “Make Something Real” theme, episode-two about some local friends and good art.
