Process: Learning Curve


While attending University there are moments you are assigned exercises and assignments that as a budding art student with no experience, a deep lack of knowledge and vision, and a very vague concept, you are truly and completely unprepared to tackle that assignment.

This is called the learning curve. Good ideas do not come easily or at the best time. Also bad ideas and mistakes happen way too often. The lousy truth is that you will make bad work as well as good work. Not every idea you will have will be gold and that is part of the process. 

It takes a great while to learn to churn out ideas that are good, wierd, bad, and inconsistent. It takes a greater while to learn resistant and edit and not to be dishearten by bad excercises. 

Unfortunely some fine material is scarficed in the name of learning like this vintage book called Silent Reader. The learning curve is quite large but worth sticking it out.
