Episode 47: "Art is Verb Not a Noun": Resident Philosopher Carolina Flores talks with talkPOPc participant Shannon Rousseau
Manage episode 297231888 series 2780951
Shannon starts with the belief that everyone is creative and able to make art in some kind of way, which she discovered when she first took a drawing and painting class in high school. Her new desire is to act, but feels apprehensive about it because, in RP Flores' words "you're on the line". They discuss the difficulties of performance and the line between one's art and what one is doing - and one's self. They agree that making art though always opens one to not just different perspectives of life, but by forcing oneself to focus it also allows one to know life and to be expressive. Shannon states that conversations too are a form of art. They finish by discussing the differences between philosophy and art - whereas philosophy is trying to make true statements about the world, with both philosophy and art you have a vague idea of where you're going when you start a piece but the real idea emerges much later on. Shannon points out that art depends on trust in yourself; "art is a verb not a noun".
