Part 1
1 . What are the main points of each article?
The point of the first article is to inform the reader that people can learn a thing or two from artists. Artists have a nice understanding of this world and it would be nice for everyone, especially entrepreneurs, to understand how they think. The second article’s point is to show the similarities between entrepreneurs and artists.
2. What can artists learn from their “entrepreneurial cousins”?
Artists can learn how to take risks and how to implement their dreams from an entrepreneur.
3. Do you agree that artists are entrepreneurs? why?
Yes, I do believe that artists are entrepreneurs because they have the passion needed for these lifestyles. For the most part, entrepreneurs and artists typically think the same and have the same thought processes, which is enough reason for me to think that artists are entrepreneurs.Which of the 12 characteristics of artists do you agree with?
4. Which of the 12 characteristics of artists do you agree with?
I agree with the characteristic of “Artists are like children”. Ultimately, I believe that an artist should be in touch with his or her’s inner child to make wonderful art. It’s hard to become more creative as we grow older, so having a mind like a child could change the way an artist sees and creates things.
5. What others would you add to the list?
I would add to the list that artists are brilliant. Not everyone is blessed with a mind like artists. An artist’s mind can create things that are unimaginable to normal intelligence. If one were to think like an artist, they will be opened up to a whole new world.
6.Additional thoughts
I thought these two articles were very informing and made me realize things that I have not thought of before. I had never considered an artist an entrepreneur before reading these articles, but now I do.
Part 2
1. I would say that I have some grit but it is definitely something I should work on.
2. Some things I could do to increase my level of grit are to stick to things I am passionate about and to never give up even if it seems like it’s the only thing to do. Having this motivation would increase my grit by a great amount.
