How can we be inspired to make art during COVID-19?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Some thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
First sent on <\/em><\/strong>ERIC KIM NEWSLETTER<\/em><\/strong> ><\/a> \/\/ See sample email here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, perhaps what we gotta do is feign ‘artistic fatalism’. This means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Things will not get better. Thus we should just make best of what we got now, and just make art right now during these trying times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n What I think:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right now, best to make arts digitally!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n For example, using your phone, iPhone, iPad, android phone, Samsung — whatever! I am a big fan of ‘Procreate’ app on iPhone\/iPad, and also ‘Zen Brush 2’ (iPhone\/iPad). Apparently Adobe has a new ‘Fresco<\/a>‘ app which also seems good (more cross-platform compatibility).<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have been having tons of fun experimenting a lot with art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course like always, you can make photos, videos, it is all good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google Arts and Culture<\/a> is my new favorite muse. I have discovered so many great inspirations from it. I downloaded it on my iPad, and now take bunch of screenshots of whatever artwork inspires me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I encourage you to download the app (Apple download<\/a>, Android download<\/a>) and play with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discover new art forms from the past (study the classics) and use it as a starting point to re-spark your passion for art. And create your own art work (digitally) and share it on your website\/blog. This is fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want more inspiration to kick-start you to the next level, join my Online Photography Creativity Workshop (3 more days left for early-bird discount of 99 USD instead of 300 USD)<\/a>. The workshop is going to be your unique opportunity to cross-pollinate your creative soul in photography (and all forms of creative arts) to take you to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more about my online workshop here on May 3rd, Sunday, 2020PM from 12-2pm Eastern Time ><\/a>, which is next week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n MAKE ON! Also, share your best photos and art-works on ARSBETA.COM >>><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear friend, A thought — How can we be inspired to make art during COVID-19?
