Why do you make art? Maybe you have to, maybe you like to, or perhaps it is your way of expressing yourself. We asked a few Evolve Artist students and instructors why they make art. We hope the answers will prompt you to consider your own art journey and to dig deeper into why you feel the urge to create.<\/p>\n

Kevin Murphy, Evolve Owner and Creator<\/h2>\n

I don\u2019t want to, I need to. Years ago I asked an actor, who I\u2019d painted, when he knew that he wanted to be an actor. His response made a lot of sense to me and I recognized it as a truth for myself as well.He said (and I paraphrase) he was always an actor, from childhood before he even knew what it was. Acting was not what he did, it was who he was.I feel that way about art. It\u2019s not a choice, I am incomplete without it. Book cover illustrated by Kevin Murphy<\/p>\n

Peggy D., Evolve Student<\/h2>\n

Imagine being a little girl sitting in a huge living room with crayons and a coloring book. It’s quiet with no drama! This memory is as close to the wholeness of Spirit that I can remember, and the main reason why I have always associated the ‘Visual Arts’ to this moment of my youth. Art has to be in my life no matter what is going on. It keeps me at ease and allows me to continue being creative in all aspects of living, which is very necessary for moving about in the world. This is why I draw and manipulate color (via paint, colored pencils, markers, etc.) It is a great stress reliever and also a lot of fun!<\/p>\n

Deborah L., Evolve Student<\/h2>\n

When I\u2019m really in it the world disappears and I enter the zone… I hit my zen… it\u2019s a sort of meditation.<\/p>\n

Reecie C., Evolve Student<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve been thinking about this since and think it\u2019s because my whole life I\u2019ve had this discontentment, I could never work out how people I work with can be happy with just the office when nothing for me felt right, it\u2019s been like an itch I can\u2019t scratch. It\u2019s made me grumpy and feels like I\u2019m wearing clothes that don\u2019t fit…. since starting Evolve that weirdness inside has gone especially now on block 4 where I can see my progress. If I stop painting for a week the weird grumpy thing comes back so painting must be the answer because nothing else seems to be.Painting by Reecie C.<\/p>\n

Iris Liu, Evolve Instructor<\/h2>\n

All children draw and make art, and I guess I just never stopped doing it. I’ve never really questioned why I do it since I’ve loved art since as long as I can remember, but there’s a real satisfaction you get from being able to express some idea or feeling that you can’t convey with words alone.<\/p>\n

Phillip G., Evolve Student<\/h2>\n

I like to be alone and love the endless challenge to improve. I love the idea of creating something that someone else finds beautiful or can connect with.<\/p>\n

Suzanne B., Evolve Student<\/h2>\n

Words and numbers were my enemies when growing up. I have dyslexia and it was difficult for me in school. Art was my language, the way I could get out the things in my head. A neighbor kid was\/is an amazing artist. From a young age, he could draw like the masters. He drew all the time and I decided that I wanted to do that. I wanted to create things that did not require words or numbers to make sense. Words and numbers are now my friends, thanks to some great efforts in college, but art is still my expression.Block 8 Painting by Jan M.<\/p>\n

Jan M., Evolve Student<\/h2>\n

Because it gives me a certain joy and fulfillment nothing else can. It\u2019s what I\u2019m meant to do, life just got in the way of that, but like they say, when the student is ready, the teacher appears.<\/p>\n

Liam Jurkowich, Evolve Instructor<\/h2>\n

I always liked to draw as a kid, and around 10 years ago the Art Academy of Hillsborough opened up in my hometown, and the rest is history. Without the school, I very likely would not have pursued art as a career, and I would not have discovered how much I need to create and be creative. A big reason why I create art now is to simply make things that look cool, and with that, I try to instill some type of narrative into each piece I make. Along with this, creating things that do not exist and translating the real world into my art is fundamental for me, and it’s the main reason why I have been drawn to the path I am on now. Without art, my perception of the world would be entirely different.<\/p>\n

Mitch Bowler, Evolve Owner and Creator<\/h2>\n

It was always there… some of my youngest memories were trying to ‘out art’ the other kids in preschool by making as many pieces as I could (I was 4). Then in Kindergarten, I was making flipbooks of all the cool WW2 planes and ships. By the time I was 7 I knew I wanted to be a video game artist and started training myself to make games (there was no internet, books on this, or even computers at the time).It’s been an adventure<\/p>\n

You can't learn to paint without learning realism. Even if your passion is abstract art, you need to learn how to paint realism.<\/p>

Why? Because your intent matters. It's about knowing what you want and then having the visual language to create it. That's what you need and that's what realism as an approach to art gives you. In this post, we\u2019ll explain why you need to realism to learn art, and how to start painting realism. <\/p><\/div>

Want to Learn How to Paint Abstract and Impressionist Art? Learn Realism First. <\/h2><\/div>

Why would somebody want to become an artist? They want the freedom to express themselves. But you can\u2019t have this freedom without learning the foundational skills of realism. All the Impressionists were classically trained. All of them. They couldn't have done what they did without classical training. It would have been impossible. <\/p><\/div>

\"An<\/span>

While it\u2019s tempting to emulate the works of Claude Monet right away (Above: Impression, Sunrise) learning how to paint realism is a necessary first step.<\/p><\/div>

Realism is a necessary stepping-off point for your education. You need to learn realism to learn how to paint. If you don't want to draw things that are in the real world and instead draw from your imagination, you still have to be able to represent what you intend. By learning how to paint realism first, you develop the skills to represent what you envision, even if it\u2019s abstract.<\/p><\/div>

Realism defines the intention <\/h2>

Realistic art forces you to be very specific. If you're drawing an apple, it has to look like the apple in front of you. Without this objectivity an instructor can't guide you because they have no idea what your intent is. Did you mean to paint that green or red? Is it supposed to be that or should it be purple? There's no way to know. The student can very easily say, \u201cI meant it to be like that\u201d even if there are clear areas of improvement <\/p><\/div>

\"A<\/span>

If the intent is clearly defined, like painting a realistic apple, the teacher can provide objective guidance. Credit: 955169 \/ 231 images pixabay.com<\/p><\/div>

But if you're painting something that's up on a table in front of you or working from a photo and you are trying to faithfully copy it, the teacher can look at it and say, \u201cOkay, you're struggling with your red mixtures, you're struggling with your sharp edges and your gradients. Your values are off.\u201d The teacher can see it because they know the intent because it has been defined for you. <\/p>

From realism to other art styles<\/h2>

Once you master the skills of value, edges, color, and perception, you don't need a guide watching over your shoulder anymore. You have the freedom to expand into whatever you want with whatever intent. Whether it's staying in realism, going in the direction of hyperrealism, or even full abstraction, the skills still apply. Any abstract painting you've ever seen still has values, colors, and edges. So, at the far end of the spectrum, away from hyperrealism, the same components are being used.<\/p><\/div>

Mastery of those components requires education - a guided experience. The guided experience cannot be given if you're not faithfully representing something that's in front of you that both you and the teacher can see, that you're trying to match and so your teacher can point out your shortcomings.<\/p><\/div>

\"Learning<\/span>

Whether it\u2019s hyperrealist or abstract, all paintings require the student to master foundational skills, such as values, colors, and edges.<\/p><\/div>

What if you just want to paint like Picasso? Isn\u2019t this the long way around?<\/h2><\/div>
\"A<\/span>

Despite breaking all the rules, Picasso still believed in a traditional education in realism.<\/p><\/div>

No. Whether you are painting realistic art or abstract art, the process is the same.<\/p>

We look at something like an apple on a table. We don't simply look at it with our eye and then pull the information from our eye and put it down on a canvas. We filter it through our brains. Our brain tells our hand what to do, what color to mix, and where to put the mark. Your brain does all the same work whether you are drawing an apple on a table, or creating something completely out of your imagination. If you haven't developed a level of precision in that decision-making process and the application of the material, you're just throwing paint at a canvas and hoping something comes of it.<\/p><\/div>

\"An<\/span>

Picasso\u2019s early work in realism set the foundation for his later boundary-pushing art (Above: \u201cScience and Charity,\u201d 1897)<\/p><\/div>

Picasso was classically trained, and he believed very firmly in education. He said, \u201cLearn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.\u201d This is the guy who broke all the rules and he believed in a solid education, and not just any education, a traditional education of realism, because that's the launch pad.<\/p>

Education requires a lot of rules, and it has to be very strict. But once you're educated, you're free to do what you want with it. Education just holds you up. It supports the decisions you make in whatever style of art you produce.<\/p>
