As a 25 year art veteran teacher, I’d like to call myself an “artist”, but to be honest, I suck at playing the artist game. Whenever I try to play the game, I almost always land on something other than “Make Art!” Once I finally get around to actually making art, I then don’t know what to do with it. Maybe once I’m done helping young people make their art I’ll get better at it.
