The Fallacy of Goals

Episode 64

Saturday, October 12, 2024 • Duration 44:28

Are you the kind of artist that sets goals and chases them or are you a person who just prefers to dream and enjoy the process of making art? Or maybe you are somewhere in the middle?

Most of us creatives are dreamers, and sometimes we get caught up in the dream but turning a dream into action and that action into reality can be quite a journey. Chasing those dreams can be risky and scary and so it’s no wonder a fair number of people don’t get past the dreaming stage. But for those who do, the lure of goal setting can lead them down a road that may not take them where they need to go.

In this episode, we explore what goal setting is, when it’s useful, when its healthy to not have formal goals, and how to identify their purpose and place in a journey that may be better focused on process than results.

The Flaw, Redefined

Episode 63

Saturday, September 28, 2024 • Duration 24:07

How do you approach your work’s flaws? Do you try to make everything as perfect as possible? Or do you like the imperfections in your work? Do you choose to leave them sometimes or do you resign yourself to the work not being perfect and live with it? If so, how do you live with it? Can you embrace the flaws or do they make you feel inadequate or embarrassed?

The way we deal with flaws in our work can help or hinder our productivity and the joy we find in out art. Let’s talk about the ways to look at flaws, why flaws don’t always need fixing, and how to see what really matters to your buyers and viewers when they encounter your art.

When Giving Up is Good

Episode 54

Sunday, March 24, 2024 • Duration 45:22

We talk a lot about not giving up in our societies. We talk about persistence and all the ways that you can accomplish and finish things, but how often do we talk about the importance of setting things aside when they aren't fulfilling our needs?

In this episode, I’ll speak about why giving up can be a really great thing to do, when it is the right choice, and how to figure out whether persisting or setting aside particular pieces, projects, or goals is the right thing for you. Because sometimes, not only is it ok to give up, it is the best thing for you and your creative work.

The Big Color Mix-Up

Episode 53

Sunday, March 10, 2024 • Duration 43:11

Does color theory and color mixing ever just make you feel stupid? Have you felt like there's a secret to understanding and working with color that just hasn't been revealed to you yet? Well, today, I'm going to demystify the concept of color and give you a very straightforward and rather fun way to understand and work with color that'll show you that, all along, it wasn't you. It was the system! By the end of this podcast, you'll know why color has been difficult to mix and how to mix with control, with pigments or visually. It will take an immense shift in how you think about color but it’s like having the fog blown away, the clouds opening, and the sun finally shining. You’ll know the secret you suspected was always out there.

So before diving in, visit the website at https://thesagearts.com/2024/03/10/ep-053-the-big-color-mix-up/ to get visuals to support all of the amazing information I have for you. Even if you're familiar with the modern color model I'll be talking about, you may discover new things about the history and the science behind it, and leave with an elevated understanding and appreciation of what you're working with.

Amuse Yourself: A Mindful Practice w/co-host Chisti Friesen

Episode 47

Sunday, January 7, 2024 • Duration 53:59

Do you have ready access to your child side? Do you often create just to amuse yourself or do you find you are primarily motivated and maybe get lost in your obligations to other people or a sense of being of service to other people and the betterment of our world in general?

As you'll hear, none of these approaches are exclusive of each other but sometimes the balance between taking care of ourselves and taking care of others, attending to our needs in order to better attend to others, kind of gets out of whack. So today, for this first podcast of the year, I’m creating a tradition of having my first guest ever, Christi Friesen, return for a bantering conversation about these questions. Come along and consider where you are on that spectrum of having a good balance of self-care and self-amusement while caring and fulfilling obligations for others in your life.
