Embracing the Messy and Challenging Parts of the Creative Process
In this chapter, they discuss the importance of embracing the messy and challenging parts of the creative process. They share an analogy of the U curve or bell curve for art, where artists often start with a fresh idea that looks promising, then reach a messy and horrible stage where they want to give up. However, if they push through this stage, the artwork often reaches a new level of depth and intensity. They also emphasize the value of practice and personal projects with constraints to push oneself and continue learning. The chapter concludes with the idea that embracing the struggle and hard work is necessary for artistic growth.
