About this listen
Art has been a staple in most cultures across the world, firmly having rooted itself as a means of communicating one’s understanding of themselves and the world around them. A great number of people in the world develop a natural passion for the act of creation, irrespective of talent. However, most of those who pursue the arts start off self-taught, and when they get to the point where they can take classes, there is a mix of bad habits and misunderstood techniques that they have to unlearn in order to improve.
This audiobook hopes to provide a way to understand and assimilate the various techniques that are employed in the creative process. By providing a combination of theoretical and practical information about the process, the reader will be better equipped to make purposeful decisions when planning and creating their artwork.
Written in an informative yet informal tone, it makes for an easy read with comfortably understood instructions. It is designed for the amateur - the one who partakes in an activity for the love of the craft - and reinforces the basics while simultaneously giving the reader methods and tips to develop their style. Many of the more seemingly complicated and inaccessible facets of art are broken down into smaller components to make them more accessible.
Along with covering a plethora of artistic styles and mediums, the book offers further information on how to share one’s art and how to potentially make a career or side-job out of the hobby for those who are so inclined.

Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

Art & Fear explores the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. This is a book about what it feels like to sit in your studio or classroom, at your wheel or keyboard, easel or camera, trying to do the work you need to do. It is about committing your future to your own hands, placing free will above predestination, choice above chance. It is about finding your own work.

You often ask yourself, “What is my mission?” or “What is my purpose?” as you are wandering through your life. You might have tried to go to a fortune teller, but most of what he or she said sounded like nonsense to you.
