An artist

There's a whole lotta shows on TV where people grow as artists under the tutelege of experienced mentors (MasterChef, Australian Idol, So You Think You Can Dance). And there's also shows where experts critique other peoples' or their own creative endeavours (Grand Designs, Video Killed the Radio Star, also the Paris Review books). I love it that God created patterns that reach across all of these crafts. You hear the same things time and time again:

You must master and attend to foundational skills.

You must have the humility to follow proven rules.

You must break the rules if you need to.

You must follow your heart and never let anyone stop you.
