“You have to learn to be human first… before you can learn art.” — Silpa Bhirasri

This sentence conveys the idea that art is not just a technical skill or creative ability, but also something that deals with deep humanity, such as emotions, thoughts, spirit, experiences, and moral values. If an artist lacks an understanding of humanity—such as empathy, understanding the complexities of life, or having a broad and deep perspective—the art created may lack the true meaning of the dimension.

“Learning to be human” here can mean many things, such as:

  • Understanding oneself and one’s own emotions
  • Understanding society, culture, and history
  • Recognizing the suffering and joy of others
  • Developing empathy and ethical awareness

Great art often comes from communicating humanity on a deep level, whether it’s pain, hope, love, or the changes in life. Therefore, this sentence may serve as a reminder that art practice should not only be based on technique, but also on understanding life and humanity.

“พวกเธอต้องเรียนรู้ความเป็นมนุษย์ก่อน… ถึงจะเรียนศิลปะ” — ศิลป์ พีระศรี

ประโยคนี้สื่อถึงแนวคิดที่ว่าศิลปะไม่ใช่เพียงทักษะทางเทคนิคหรือความสามารถในการสร้างสรรค์เท่านั้น แต่ยังเป็นสิ่งที่เกี่ยวข้องกับความเป็นมนุษย์ในเชิงลึก เช่น อารมณ์ ความคิด จิตวิญญาณ ประสบการณ์ และคุณค่าทางศีลธรรม หากศิลปินขาดความเข้าใจในความเป็นมนุษย์—เช่น การเอาใจใส่ผู้อื่น การเข้าใจความซับซ้อนของชีวิต หรือการมีมุมมองที่กว้างและลึกซึ้ง—ศิลปะที่สร้างขึ้นอาจขาดมิติของความหมายที่แท้จริง

การ “เรียนรู้ความเป็นมนุษย์” ในที่นี้อาจหมายถึงหลายอย่าง เช่น

  • การเข้าใจตนเองและอารมณ์ของตัวเอง
  • การเข้าใจสังคม วัฒนธรรม และประวัติศาสตร์
  • การรับรู้ถึงความทุกข์และความสุขของผู้อื่น
  • การพัฒนาความเห็นอกเห็นใจและสำนึกทางจริยธรรม

ศิลปะที่ยิ่งใหญ่มักเกิดจากการสื่อสารความเป็นมนุษย์ในระดับที่ลึกซึ้ง ไม่ว่าจะเป็นความเจ็บปวด ความหวัง ความรัก หรือความเปลี่ยนแปลงของชีวิต ดังนั้น ประโยคนี้อาจเป็นการเตือนว่าการฝึกฝนศิลปะไม่ควรมีเพียงเทคนิคเพียงอย่างเดียว แต่ต้องมีความเข้าใจชีวิตและมนุษย์เป็นรากฐานด้วย

Can art school teach you to be creative and generate ideas?

Yes, Art school can provide an environment that nurtures creativity and helps you develop the skills to generate ideas. It offers structured guidance, exposure to diverse techniques, and opportunities to experiment with various forms of expression. But it often depends on how creativity is approached in the learning environment. Creativity thrives in settings that encourage exploration, critical thinking, and self-expression. Here’s how schools can foster creativity:

  1. Project-Based Learning
    By working on open-ended projects, students learn to solve problems, think critically, and generate original ideas.
  2. Encouraging Divergent Thinking
    Activities that have multiple solutions, like brainstorming sessions or creative writing, can help students think outside the box.
  3. Exposure to the Arts
    Art, music, and drama classes can nurture imagination and help students express unique perspectives.
  4. Problem-Solving Challenges
    STEM projects, design thinking exercises, or even puzzles can encourage innovative solutions.
  5. Open-Ended Questions
    Teachers who ask “what if” or “how might we” questions inspire students to think imaginatively.

However, fostering creativity requires an environment where failure is treated as part of the process and not something to fear. If a school emphasizes rote learning or rigid conformity, it might stifle creativity. Creativity is also deeply personal, so individuals may need to supplement their education with personal exploration and experimentation.

Do you think your school experience supported creativity, or did you develop it outside of the classroom?

“The importance of art history can be summed up in a single word: integration. As we’ve already pointed out, when you study art history, you learn the context in which that piece was created. You also learn about the technologies of the day, or lack thereof. You gain an understanding of the sciences, literature and more. However, to make sense of all of this is another thing altogether. One of the biggest reasons why you should study art history is because it teaches you how to integrate information from disparate sources and to make sense of that information. This is a high-level thinking skill that has become increasingly important in the workplace and in life.”

How to come up with a new creative idea?

donotdestroy:

Coming up with new ideas can be a challenging but rewarding process. Here are a few tips that may help you generate creative ideas:

  1. Keep an open mind: Try not to dismiss ideas too quickly and stay open to new and unconventional ideas.
  2. Take breaks: Step away from your work and give yourself time to relax and let your mind wander. This can help spark new ideas.
  3. Seek out new experiences: Exposing yourself to new people, cultures, and experiences can help stimulate creativity and inspire new ideas.
  4. Collaborate with others: Working with a group of people can lead to a greater diversity of ideas and perspectives.
  5. Use brainstorming techniques: Brainstorming is a popular method for generating ideas in which a group of people come together to generate as many ideas as possible, without evaluating them.
  6. Ask “what if” questions: Asking questions such as “what if we did this differently?” or “what if we combined these two ideas?” can help stimulate new ideas.
  7. Keep a journal: Writing down your ideas as they come to you can help you capture and later review and expand upon them.

Remember, coming up with new ideas is a process and it may take some time and effort. It’s important to be patient and persistent, and not to get discouraged if you don’t have a great idea right away.

Why do people copy others?

People who copy usually have 4 psychological traits or thoughts happening. They’re either:

  • Lacking a sense of self – They don’t know who they are so being you seems awesome
  • Green with envy – They want what you have, so they copy you to try to get it
  • Insecure – A lack of self-esteem can cause someone to try and elevate themselves by copying those they admire (you) or…
  • Obsessive – This verges into the dangerous territory so act with caution and care!
