Good Enough

Picasso's Femme en Pleurs (detail)

A high school junior I know wants desperately to attend an art school.  Recently he asked me, “How do I know if I’m good enough?”

“Show your work to a teacher.” I said.  “To someone who’s good at what they do.  Someone who’s not related to you. Someone who knows you, but maybe doesn’t love you.  Ask that person if your art is good.
