The Wonder of Art - Josh Goldberg - Ep 37

<p><a href="https://art2life.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://Art2Life.com</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- Art-making doesn't have to look any particular way. Anything goes. What we make and how we make it is really of no importance except, of course, to the artist. There can be so much pressure to figure it all out. So it makes sense that most want to create some degree of certainty in this nebulous art-making thing. I gave up figuring out my art quite a few years ago. I finally accepted that maybe everything would work out if I kept making my art and paid attention. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So today, I no longer plan what I am doing in the studio and instead show up and surprise myself. Recently I came across some paintings I just loved. I felt the artist's art process was similar to mine, so I became curious. I could tell there wasn't a lot of pre-planning going on. The result was too fresh and daring.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So I tracked the artist down. His name is Josh Goldberg. He is a poet, artist, and teacher. Listening to how he describes his approach and creative philosophy was mesmerizing. I had to relisten to this conversation so I could take notes. It was that good. Join me now as Josh and I are meeting for the first time.</span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400;">================================</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN…</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Getting to know Josh Goldberg [2:08] </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Making the transition from art student to career artist and the logistics of Josh’s art practice  [5:02]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creating art that creates wonder [8:56] </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Exploring the juxtaposition of freedom and control and the magic of art-making [15:16]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learning how to color outside the lines and examining innat
