Jessie Ware on Learning to Trust Herself is an interview that highlights the increase in confidence from first album to second. Artists of every type do this, doubting themselves, and critiquing their work harder than they would another's. Earlier today I was bad-mouthing my own sketch of the Disney princess, Belle when the person beside me told me that is was really good.
The old saying, practice makes perfect, hits home if I think about where I was with my artwork before, whether a month or a year ago. The first still-life I did in Art Class was of one of my moms shoes, and while the shoe was pretty, I didn't do it justice. For the next still-life the instructor made scenes on the stage, I chose to draw an antique chair that had the bottom falling out with a hat perched on top of it. While that piece could still improve, it is much better than the poor heel.
The image above is the second still-life, before it was completed.
The article relates to Honors World Geography because music influences people, this artist tends to write dark, unrequited love songs which could influence the people listening to it to become bitter about their unrequited love, or they could be happy that they have love, it depends on the situation that the listener is in. In the book we recently finished reading in Honors English I, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, William fixes radios, and eventually learns to power them, songs from this artist are on the radio frequently, this interview was on the radio! It's strange to think about people so far away possibly being able to listen to the same things that we do in the US. How would this have affected someone in Africa differently from you?
