What are the advantages of art in expressing emotions that we have difficulty expressing verbally? With guest host Donna Roe Daniell, LCSW We have new research about how the brain processes emotions and how to work more successfully to clear stuck memories and emotions. Art is one way in which we can access these feelings and process them. We have learned from the tremendous popularity of art in recent times to allow the artist of every age freedom to create. Picasso, Klee, and others taught us to respect the child's vision, as well as our own. How do you access your inner child? Though expressing our emotions and inner thoughts we can process and make sense of our world. What are your symbols that you use to express your life themes? 88 88 ArtLook, 8888ArtLook.com, AnnetteColemanArtist.com, Jim Caldwell, ArtworkNetwork.com, Donna Roe Daniell, www.findbalanceinyourlife.com

Myths and Realities of artists. What does society think and say about artists? You won’t be famous until you….Poor starving……flaky, dreamer, angst ridden ……What myths do you have to dispel in order to embrace a healthy reality as a successful artist? Myths about artists and how they live and work abound. These myths create misunderstanding in the minds of collectors and become obstacles for artists who have absorbed them. When artists shed these misconceptions and plant themselves squarely inside the realities, more energy is available for a creative lifestyle and sustainable art business.

Critique, how and why it is important to artistic growth.

Where does inspiration come from? Nature, life, dreams, spiritual practices are just a few areas where artists have found inspiration. Where, what and how do you connect to your inspiration? Artists are collectors of things, images and experiences. What is it that you collect that inspires you? Do you incorporate that into your work? Is it visible or hardly there?

 1. What is a fine art print? - Audience lack of understanding of what is a print. Even some artists don't know. - Does giclee or digital imaging fit under printmaking? - Compare hand-pulled to giclee.  2. Compare monoprints & monotypes to traditional print methods.  3. 2D value.Prints are often given less value than paintings. Why? - Misconception that prints are not original. - Name recognition. Many famous artists do lots of prints and they have value. However, their other works probably have more value.   Linda Everson, LindaEverson.com, Alicia Bailey, Abecedariangallery.com, Jim Caldwell, ArtworkNetwork.com, Annette Coleman, AnnetteColemanArtist.com, 88 88 ArtLook (888-827-5666), 8888ArtLook.com
