I had really mixed feelings about this book but I feel like I am, perhaps, the wrong audience. It seems to me this book is intended for the budding artist who needs a push on their journey. This book spends a lot of time talking about the nobility of purpose of creating art. That isn't a bad thing but there wasn't much of practical use in this book. Mostly, it is the exploration of why one chooses to become an artist. I found the first part of this book confusing. I didn't really grasp the point that the author was trying to get across. This did improve significantly in the second half of the book. This book was also very short. It took me maybe two hours to read. There are lots of quotes. Possibly, too many though many of them were very good. I feel like this book might be suited for someone starting on their artist journey who needs the push to call themselves an artist and declare art their life's work. For someone who already identifies that way I feel there wasn't a lot this book had to offer. So, if you are a seasoned artist I feel like there isn't much you will gain from this book. If you are a new artist who needs told why art is a divine calling then this book might be exactly what you are looking for.
"I have a theory about the Hero's Journey. We all have one. We have many, in fact. But our primary hero's journey is the passage we live out, in real life, before we find our calling. The hero's journey ends when, like Odysseus, we return home to Ithaca, to the place from which we started. What then? The passage that comes next is The Artist's Journey. On our artist's journey, we move past Resistance and past self-sabotage. We discover our true selves and our authentic calling, and we produce the works we were born to create. You are an artist too-whether you realize it or not, whether you like it or not-and you have an artist's journey. Will you live it out? Will you follow your Muse and do the work you were born to do? Ready or not, you are called."--Back cover. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
