Art Photography Creative Community Summary

Write a summary about your creative community and the context of your work.

Austin Kleon discusses the idea of “creative DNA” in Steal Like an Artist. Who is in your creative community, and how do they impact your work? Remember that your creative community can include artists you don’t know, and historical artists, as well as peers and professors.

You can use one or more of the following prompts to get started:

What artists influence your work, and why?
How does the work you’re making now fit into the larger conversation these artists are having?
Out of the artists you admire, does your work resemble theirs? If so, how? If not, how?
How has the work by artists you admire impacted your life?
Are there any artists you don’t like? If so, why? Does their work seem similar to yours, or different?
If you could only look at the work of one artist for the rest of your life, who would it be — and why would you choose them?
Who are the artists on your “collaboration bucket list?” If you could work with any living artist, who would it be?
