John Wayne on "Life and the Creative Process"

"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us
 at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts
 itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from
 yesterday."

"If everything isn't black and white, I say why the hell not."

John Wayne   [Marion Michael Morrison]   May 26, 1907

Today is the "Duke's" birthday.  In looking over a couple quotes attributed to him, I decided that these two would be appropriate.  The first could be an analogy for the beginning of an art work.

The "blank canvas" that every artist faces in some shape or form.  Is is the "tomorrow" of each

piece of work we attempt.  The other quote, while being meant as a "no nonsense, no gray areas" approach to life, I merely saw it as a metaphor for the POSITIVE/NEGATIVE SPACE 

projects my students are finishing the year creating.

Here is another short video of students in the "creative process'.  Uncut and uncensored.
