RE: Reflection - The Artist @tezzmax
Greetings, colleagues,
I like this minimalist format to present the creators of Steemit. It makes it easy to read and opens us up to the curiosity of knowing more about the artist. It also made me reflect and generate some "buts"
But, (I think I always put "buts")
I think we can get away from the discourse of: "poor artist that nobody supports in his art", if we are going to build a Community that supports art and artists. Let's look for, let's invent ways to support from the empowerment of the "being that creates."
Convert Steemit into a Patron of artists?
It is viable, it is possible, it is easy. However, I believe that currently the "artist-creator" can discover ways to get rid of the "poor him", which places him in the position of victim, of handicap.
I want to support in finding them, in promoting their publications, but just as they create fantastic pieces, they can learn to make publications that attract more and catch people to read them until the end.
Your message is understood, still, I leave it this since this is what I felt and thought and the post is mine).
I am fine with "buts" since I have buts as well. If an artist shows his piece of art (in this case a drawing) this is the first thing that one sees (just like we do with every post the picture comes first and next we see the title and the first lines.
If it comes to art I don't think many words are needed since art should be observed, felt and next, we might wonder what it is we are looking at or wonder who the artist is.
I like to see/hear what your "artist-creator-empower" course will look like. For sure it's important to promote oneself and posting in an Art Community is the first step.
But... the community should be visible as well.
I'm off, it was a long day.
Woman!!
If what you ask for could be obtained from a course, I would already be a multimillionaire 😂😂. But I accept the challenge, let me think and create. Facilitating learning is my ART.
But, it won't be in the immediate future, I think that right now the focus should be on building a community and detecting-finding artists and consolidating the team.
I'm liking this proposal more every day.
Thank you.
Think, think, think, how to promote oneself.
Is it something we can do for the teaching team? You won't be rich though.
Or perhaps we should do it for another. Like a former employer once said: Woman you are able to sell a heap of shit as if it's gold. 😂 (those days are over though).
For now, it's not only finding them but also making it attractive and that might be the biggest problem. For sure they can be found if we offer to pay but if an artist isn't willing to invest in himself (or herself) nothing will happen unless they have a promoter doing it for them but promoters should be paid as well (by them because they are not different from the publisher for a writer).
@tezzmax @grebmot can we find 1 artist per week or 3-4 per month?

Yeah. I think that's possible but then I also think we shouldn't make it a target cause it could lead to bringing in just anyhow persons as artists.
I agree but they are here already so we only have to find and ask them. There's no need to post daily and flood the community since we are still working at it.
