    164: Drawing at the Danforth

    On this podcast (recorded over three weeks), I share my highs and lows, break throughs and frustrations with a drawing class I’m taking at the Danforth Art Museum in Framingham, MA. Overall, this experience reminded me that the creative process often involves pushing beyond simple exercises. It’s about synthesis — connecting ideas — and allowing for unexpected discoveries. The key is to continually experiment and to lean into the structure of your art practice for support.

    163 – Artwork Statements Aren’t Easy

    An Artwork Statement is a piece of writing that gives context to a specific artwork. It often explains the meaning, inspiration, techniques, and context behind a specific artwork or series. Your statement may address the materials used, the process, and the narrative or concept behind the piece. The purpose is to provide deeper insight into a particular piece, helping viewers connect with and understand the specific artwork on a more intimate level. It often accompanies the artwork in exhibitions, galleries, or online platforms. On the podcast, Mom and I give you lots of tips for how you can write amazing artwork statements!

    160: Growth Mindset

    Today on the podcast we’re chatting about Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset: Growth Mindset: * Definition: A growth mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed with effort, learning, and persistence. * Characteristics: Embracing challenges, persisting through setbacks, seeing effort as a path to mastery, learning from criticism, and finding inspiration in others’ success. * Example: A person with a growth mindset will likely believe that they can improve their painting skills through practice and learning. Fixed Mindset: * Definition: A fixed mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence are static traits that cannot be significantly developed. * Characteristics: Avoiding challenges, giving up easily, seeing effort as fruitless, ignoring useful feedback, and feeling threatened by others’ success. * Example: A person with a fixed mindset might believe that they are either naturally talented at painting or not, and no amount of practice can change that. Be sure to listen to the podcast where I share 10 Fixed Mindset Statements (such as “I can’t draw”) that you can easily transform to Growth Mindset Statements (such as “I don’t know how to draw yet, but I can improve my drawing skills with practice and dedication.”) Links: * Tip the Artist: PayPal.Me/balzerdesigns * Sign up for the Friday FREE newsletter: https://forms.feedblitz.com/bco  * Monthly Membership: https://www.myartpractice.com/ * Take an online class: https://balzerdesigns.com/Classroom/ * Shop: https://www.juliebalzer.com/shop.html  * Let’s connect on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balzerdesigns/  * Favorite Things: https://www.amazon.com/shop/balzerdesigns  Thanks for listening and subscribing!

    159: Focus

    Lydia Leonard left this comment on my YouTube channel: “I’ve been following you for years and always marvel at your genius! Moving walls? So smart! I sort of have the same thing but I have a hard time putting everything back where it belongs! I’ve been trying to reorganize but I get distracted by all the cool things I find. Do you have any focusing ideas to keep me motivated?“ Specific to her magpie issue, which is also an issue I have, is the notion of “future me.”  I do things for future me. “Tomorrow me will love that this is all put away. Tomorrow me will be glad that I did this today.” But I thought we could wander into a larger conversation about focus.  One of the tenets of my art practice is “consistency.”  I think consistency and focus are deeply intertwined. * Focus is a point of concentration. 2. : directed attention : emphasis.    * Consistency is conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness.  Consistency is running a steady 6 minute mile during a marathon.  Focus is thinking about your breathing, the finish line, how your body is moving. All of that is to say that focus is part of consistency and consistency requires focus. On the podcast, we talk about why focus matters to an artist.

    157: Art in Bloom: Part 2

    As I mentioned in the previous podcast, Mom and I snuck in the night before the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) here in Boston — The museum’s annual Art in Bloom event at the end of April.  This is always one of my favorite events of the year.  In case you don’t know what Art in Bloom is: It’s a weekend festival that transforms the MFA’s galleries into a floral showcase, with floral designers and garden clubs from across the region carefully crafting arrangements inspired by the museum’s artworks.  The MFA invented the “Art in Bloom” idea in 1976.  Since then many other museums have taken up the idea (it’s a good one) and there might be a museum near you that does it! “Visitors are treated to a sensory experience as they wander through the galleries adorned with imaginative floral interpretations. The captivating aromas of freshly cut blossoms fill the air, while the visual delight of artfully arranged blooms against the backdrop of world-class art stirs the imagination. The juxtaposition of natural elements with centuries-old masterpieces creates a dialogue that transcends time and medium, inviting visitors to see art from a fresh perspective.” It’s also an invitation for selfies galore and just tons of photos in general.  This is why we went the night before. The main feature of Art in Bloom is the collaboration between floral designers and the museum’s curators. Each floral arrangement is carefully placed next to its corresponding artwork, enhancing the aesthetic experience and creating a captivating conversation between the two art forms. And a fun conversation to have with a fellow visitor about how/if the floral arrangement captures the artwork’s essence.  There is no other time of the year when strangers are so willing to talk to you! Art in Bloom is always a super fun experience. If a museum near you holds an annual “Art in Bloom” festival, be sure to attend.  It’s an experience you won’t want to miss!  Because these are real blooms, it’s always a short exhibit – 3 or 4 days.  So don’t miss out! Here are the photos from the podcast, in the order we discuss them: a href="https://balzerdesigns.com/arting/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Slide12-1...
