5. Art is political.
[Gestures at art history.]
It has always been & will always be political.
Even the choice to make not-obviously-political art is a political choice, & one that can be made in many ways.
If someone asks you to draw a house & the house is on fire, draw flames.

@lycomorpha.bsky.social4. One of the best art advices I was ever given (thanks Peggy) is
Remember to see what's there.
Notice what IS there. Not what you think SHOULD be there, or what you WANT to be there.
In art, as in science… If u decide what ur gonna see before you look? You're not actually looking
