Jason's back, and this time we're going deeper. From his early classroom failures to his passionate critiques of the grading system, Jason Turner pulls back the curtain on what it really means to teach—not just art, but agency. We dig into how subjectivity can be a strength, why guiding questions trump easy answers, and how teachers can help students own their learning journeys without spoon-feeding them. Jason shares the philosophies that have shaped his unique classroom culture, where failure isn't just tolerated—it's part of the lesson plan. If you've ever wondered how to foster true critical thinking in kids, or what it looks like to hold space for students to grow at their own pace, this conversation hits home.

What separates artists who give up from those who thrive despite rejection? In this fourth installment exploring Jerry Saltz's "How to Be an Artist," Ty and Nathan tackle the emotional armor required to navigate the art world's toughest challenges.When a Pulitzer Prize-winning critic featured Nathan's early work as an example of what not to do, he was devastated. "I was mourning the loss of an art career that didn't even exist," he confesses. This vulnerable moment becomes a masterclass in transforming criticism into creative fuel—a skill every artist must develop.The conversation weaves through the phases of artistic development: wanting it, doing it, and living it. They explore how Instagram has weaponized envy, why self-imposed deadlines create surprising breakthroughs, and the myth of overnight success that derails so many promising careers. "Art gives up its secrets very slowly," they remind us, encouraging patience and persistence.Perhaps most powerful is their discussion of "radical vulnerability"—following your work into uncomfortable psychological territory that reveals your truest voice. As Ty shares stories of gallery disasters and damaged artwork, a portrait emerges of the resilience required to survive the inevitable setbacks of creative life.The episode concludes with Jerry's most memorable advice: after the demons of doubt have spoken, simply tell yourself "I'm a fucking genius" and get back to work. It's strategic delusion as artistic superpower—and it just might be the difference between giving up and breaking through.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

PREFACEWelcome, readers! I'm Dr. William Anderson Gittens, a passionate cultural advocate sharing my experiences as a cultural practitioner on the beautiful island of Barbados. My work encompasses various professions, including dynamic podcaster, photojournalist, media arts professional, cultural theorist, theologian, and author. Today, I invite you to explore the profound significance of colour in artistic expression, focusing on the primary colours and their essential role in nurturing creativity, particularly among children.In the latest episode of my podcast, "Colour Me Volume 2," we delve into the pivotal role of primary colours—magenta, cyan, and yellow—in art. These colours are foundational building blocks that form the basis for nearly all other hues, akin to the letters of the alphabet in language. The vast spectrum of colours available to artists is immense; however, children often gravitate towards these vibrant, unmixed shades, which cultivates their early creative confidence.Research indicates that children have a natural affinity for bold colours, and this preference is evident in their artwork. For instance, when I observe young artists at work, they often choose bright colours to express themselves vividly. This inclination not only fosters their individual creativity but also introduces them to fundamental concepts of colour theory. In my experience as a Media Arts Specialist, I have seen how graphic artists, fine artists, photojournalists, and cinematographers utilise primary colours to construct visually compelling designs, evoke emotions, and set the mood for their pieces.Traditionally, the primary colours in art have been red, yellow, and blue. However, in contemporary media, we recognise RGB (red, green, blue) as the additive primaries. Both sets of primary colours are vital for accurately representing the world and shaping viewer perception, allowing artists to communicate effectively through their chosen mediums. By understanding the significance of these colours, children can appreciate the foundational role they play in creating various tones and shades.During my time teaching painting in primary schools, I noticed that when children experiment with mixing colours, particularly with white to create tints, it opens up captivating discussions about color theory and emotional expression. For example, blending white with red results in soft pink, illustrating how minor adjustments can dramatically alter the mood of a piece. This process allows students to explore subtle tonal variations, empowering them to convey different emotions through their art.Through this experimentation, children not only develop vital technical skills but also gain an insightful understanding of how emotional nuances can bSupport the showCultural Factors Influence Academic Achievements© 2024 ISBN978-976-97385-7-7 A_MEMOIR_OF_Dr_William_Anderson_Gittens_D_D_2024_ISBNISBN978_976_97385_0_8 Academic.edu.

In this episode, Tom and Peter discuss the different options open to creatives in terms of "getting qualified". With the rise of the internet over the past couple of decades, there has been an increase in the number of certificates, diplomas, courses, workshops and even degrees available - but what does each one entail, which ones are worth their salt and which ones do the art world actually care about?In the first half of the episode, Peter talks about his own experience of going to university to study a Fine Art degree; what this can entail, include, facilities available and what you come out with at the end.  They also discuss a one-year, foundation diploma, and share the experiences of colleagues and friends who have completed one of these.  In the second half of the episode, they discuss the myriad of less "formal" art courses, workshops and qualifications available - where these take place, how they might look and how you might choose the right one for you. This Podcast is sponsored by Rosemary & Co Brushes, Jackson's Art Supplies and Search Press publishers.For more information about our sponsors, please visit:Rosemary & Co Brushes: www.rosemaryandco.comJackson's Art supplies: www.jacksonsart.comSearch Press publishers: www.searchpress.comTom's website: tomshepherdart.comPeter's website: peterkeegan.comPodcast website: www.askanartistpodcast.com

Part 3. Diving deep into Jerry Saltz's "How to Be an Artist," we explore the transformative journey of learning to think like an artist. This episode unpacks the beautiful paradox that while art remains unchanged physically, it's never the same when we experience it – as Saltz writes, "an unchanging thing that is never the same." We discuss how becoming a "seeing machine" develops your artistic eye, examining artwork up close, questioning materials and processes, and truly noticing rather than merely looking.One of the most powerful concepts we explore is embracing artistic inconsistency. When Saltz writes, "Don't resist something if you're afraid it's taking you far afield from your usual direction. That's the wild animal in you feeding," he reminds us that creative evolution requires following our instincts even when they lead us into unfamiliar territory. This is how artists avoid becoming creatively caged – by allowing ourselves to experiment freely.The conversation takes a particularly meaningful turn when discussing courage as "a desperate gamble that will place you in the arms of creative angels." We examine how artists throughout history, from Alice Neel to Ellsworth Kelly, displayed remarkable bravery by pursuing their unique visions despite working against prevailing movements of their time. Their courage to follow their intuitive logic ultimately led to extraordinary contributions to art history.Perhaps most reassuringly, we break down Saltz's practical insight that an artist's career can be sustained by surprisingly few supporters – just one dedicated dealer, a handful of collectors, and a few critics or curators who understand the work. The challenge lies in putting yourself out there consistently, showing up at exhibitions, and actively participating in the art community.What will you discover about your own creative process by training yourself to see differently? How might embracing your artistic inconsistencies lead to unexpected breakthroughs?
