“Is acceptance the primary goal?”-Jun.4.Linda

This chapter talks about understanding, acceptance and approval. Basically it’s about the relationship between your artworks and you, the artists. 

For understanding, what’s important is to accept the fact that you might not be understood. For approval and acceptance, they are usually linked in the sense that there is no bad art, but art. The form itself becomes the criteria since there is no criteria for the form.

I feel like this chapter has a lot of health methods that teach you how to build a nice relationship with your work, such as keep exploring, accepting yoru own art and not just waiting to be accepted, etc. I also think this is the most difficult to do. Even the previous chapters talk about not equating your art to you, when it comes to artworks coming from personal stuff, it is difficult.
