Brainwashed

"Brainwashed"

In the "Acknowledge the Lizard" part of the reading, we are told that we have a basic underline of what is right and what is wrong. We are told that a part of our brain tells us what is "right" to do, so that we don't do something to have us laughed at. This part of the brain blocks our artistic sense and keeps us following the "rules". But if we ignore the sense of being shunned ad we break free from that and follow what we think we should do, that is where artistic thoughts come from.

In the "Fail" article it tells how breaking out of the lizard brain train of thought, allows us to produce artistic thoughts that we turn into a product. The fail part of this is that we may be held accountable for the decisions we made and things that come out of ignoring the "norm". We may and normally will fail, or flop, but even then, we have conquered the lizard thought and are moving the normal ways of life in a new direction, a different direction.

These two layers pertain to my blog, because we all are going to have our own individual way of laying it out, working on it, and filling it with content. We are also learning what works, and what doesn't, but even with that we are learning what not to do, and how it should be done. These exercises  make me a better artist because i am learning how to have a basic understanding of how to get my content out to others so it can be critiqued and i can find out and understand how it is supposed to be done.
