I thought the presentation really spoke to me as an artist. The man giving the presentation spoke my language, what I mean by that is sometimes when a person is feeding me buckets of information it tends to go over my head because of lack of understanding, but this presentation made it easier for me to understand because the man understand how an artist thinks.

The man giving the presentation was very calm and clearly very experienced. He would give the audience leaflets and will ask us to hand book around of examples of artists work that became successful.

He would give the audience advice on how to become successful like “Fight for what you believe in, even if that leads to arguing”. He was explaining that you must have a lot of passion for your work. Also “To be successful is communication”. He said that you need to have social skill and talk to people instead of avoiding them.

He would complain that my generation is basically too afraid, and I agree on that statement. He told the audience the reason why we now have machines to give orders in Mc Donald’s is because the young workers are too afraid to speak to the customers. And it’s not just in the work place he would complain that he never sees anyone expressing themselves in public in-case they will be judged harshly, like two lovers holding hands or even kissing in public.

This presentation really taught me a lot about success and my generation
