FOR YOUR EYES

A few videos that I think are great to see over the summer:

Jerry's Artarama ARTIST PROBLEMS series on YouTube is excellent at tackling the REAL issues all artists have, from money to motivation... If you like THIS ONE (click here)- I encourage you to check out MORE.

TED TALKS are great, and there are a couple dedicated to ART, here are TWO I LOVE:

LINK ONE- (click here) doodles

LINK TWO- (click here) schools kill creativity

JIM CARREY gets real (into painting) CLICK HERE for the vid-

Lastly, ART 21 features LIVING, breathing, WORKING, selling, IMPORTANT, contemporary artists... If you are thinking about maybe one day being one of them, you should really check out their WORK, life, THOUGHTS, ideas, SPEECH, and attitudes on THESE VIDEOS (click here)
