KRISTA D. PRICE
Adv. Acting: Week 2
(September 8-11 - half class)
To be an artist...
1.) Watched an opening video of advice from an actor in the industry: Jake Gyllenhaal
-
Journal: What ideas shared by the actor did you find interesting, surprising, or helpful?
2.) Re-visited: To be an artist is to...
-
While most people focus on what IS, artists CREATE new realities.
-
Artists rarely grow/create without being influenced by the world around them. To be an artist is to view the world differently and create/grow from it.
-
What are YOU reading, observing, listening to, experiencing RIGHT NOW that pushes you to think/create/grow?
3.) Listened to portions of a podcast (with guest Arian Moayed) that has recently pushed Ms. Price to think/create/grow.
-
Journal (completed in class): After each section students responded to prompts given in class. (All students were present, so the questions are not posted here)
-
Discussed topics shared in the podcast: The power of now; A+B=giraffe; Fear & Doubt, etc.
Go Deeper (Optional): Give yourself permission to be creative | Ethan Hawke
The IDEAS I appreciate in this video:
-
The idea shared about whether or not human creativity matters.
-
The discussion of when art goes from luxury to sustenance.
QUOTATIONS I love from this video:
-
"Human creativity is nature manifest in us."
-
"When you get close to what you love, who you are is revealed to you...and it expands."
-
"Creativity is the way we heal eachother." ("We come out of our corners and we start to witness eachothers' humanity.")
