One of the greatest experiences you can have is view a visual artist performing his craft. Unlike musicians, dancers and actors, visual artists rarely perform in front of an audiences. When you get the opportunity to do so, jump on it. It is an inspiring experience. To give my students that experience I love to invite artists in to my classroom or show them videos like Amy Shackleton video below. Gives them an understanding that artists are people and art is more than a pretty picture on the wall.
