10. Last Note What kind of preparation do artists need?
Personal vision and creativity, emotional self-knowledge, intuition, and spiritual awareness…Technical skills of working with media, finding powerful ways to communicate, exposure to the great works of the past, and a strong grounding in art history…socio-political analysis, sensitivity to one’s own cultural identity, and awareness of critical themes in understanding culture and media.
He focuses on the special issues of educating artists in a technological age
It is a critical error to conceptualize research as merely some narrow,
technical, specialized inquiry. Merely assimilating the new gizmos to create new media is a timid response.
Investigating many other fields in which the arts should be proactive pioneers rather than merely consumers of the results.
