1. How to ACTUALLY learn Art?
I have made a video in the past detailing the steps involved in learning ‘Art’.
This is good if you want a ‘map’ to get from point A to point B. 🗺️
But this is not enough.
I’ve lately learned the very definition of ‘Learning’.
According to behavioural scientists, you have only learned if your ‘behaviour’ has changed.
Learning = Behaviour change.
No behaviour change, No Learning.
This made me understand why beginner artists, despite learning the drawing fundamentals, are not able to draw the things they want.
Knowing isn’t enough. Changing behaviour is what that matters. 🧠
2. How to change behaviour?
Repetitive practice of the actions you want on a consistent basis.
Stimulus = Desired action
🐈 Draw a cat (stimulus) = use drawing fundamentals to draw (desired action).
🍰 Crave cake (stimulus) = eat it (undesirable action, if you want weight loss).
Practice desired action 100 times and the change happens. 💯
3. Favourite Quote of the Week
“No adornment so becomes you as modesty, justice and self-control, for these are the virtues by which, as all men are agreed, the character of the young is held in restraint”
– Isocrates to Demonicus
That’s it for this week folks!
See you in the next one 🙂
Best,
Kesh.
