A brief retrospective on the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama and “her hallucinogenic vision of the world” which is, in part, a manifestation of her own mental illness.
“Art has always been a method of healing for Kusama, who has spoken openly about her mental health and has chosen to live in a psychiatric facility in Japan. ‘I fight pain, anxiety, and fear every day, and the only method I have found that relieves my illness is to keep creating art. Painting helps me to keep away thoughts of death for myself. That is the power of art,’ she said.” (Source)
Big question, folks. I see a lot of artists say that YouTube is a big source of income for them. I found videos talking about how to film art with the correct lighting and such. But no one is addressing my major question when it comes to making art videos: what do I talk about? If I’m recording myself drawing for a while, it’ll be boring if it’s just silence. I can talk about my drawing for a little bit, but after a while, there isn’t much to talk about. I’m not exactly an art teacher, and my advice can only go for so long.
