Lesson 12: Know What You Hate
It is probably you.
Exercise: Make a List of Art
Make a list of three artists whose work you despise. Make a list of five things about each artist that you do not like; be as specific as possible. Often there’s something about what these artists do that you share. Really think about this.

It’s art that someone who thinks they know me would say “that’s SO YOU.”
It’s repetitive.
It’s boring.
It’s devoid of content.
It’s dated.
What do I share? I guess I fear being boring and dated.
