Inspiration Does Not Happen All At Once
Spencer Thompson:
One of the best points made in this episode was the idea of “inspiration”. Chuck Close said that the idea of having a moment of “inspiration” or epiphany is just a myth. Artists begin to unleash their creativity simply by working hard. Once they start working and putting together the pieces, the creativity begins to flow. This is an interesting point for anyone, because I believe that most of us still think that we need a flash of brilliance, followed by a flurry of late night work to be considered creative.
In other words: inspiration is perspiration.
