ART IS TEMPORAL @smithschwartz
ART IS TEMPORAL @smithschwartz Responsive design #drama Every work is
born of its time We are both limited by and inspired by the technology and materials that are available Andy Goldsworthy

@smithschwartz ANDY GOLDSWORTHY Rain Shadows Time is a material Patience
is a tool Technically, not challenging Respect
@smithschwartz
WOLF KAHN @smithschwartz “Your work isn’t messy enough” The best
way to learn is by making a mess Then cleaning it up It’s why Sass exists
ART & FEAR @smithschwartz
ART & FEAR @smithschwartz **REQUIRED READING** Making Ordinary Art Not
all art can be made by Mozart Nor should it be
@smithschwartz "You make good work by (among other things) making
lots of work that isn’t very good... ...it’s the more direct route to learning about your own vision. It’s also called doing your work. After all, someone has to do your work, and you’re the closest person around."
tl;dl @smithschwartz Bring an artful approach to all you do.
Be an ordinary artist. smithschwartz.com/camp-sass
