Season Changing
Collaborating on and art project helps you to become better at working with others and develop good listening and communication skills. But there can be challenges such as hoping that everyone holds up their end of the project and everyone does their part. When William Kentridge says "the artist understands that the optimistic and the pessimistic future unfold together," he means that the good and the bad both happen at the same time. with our work, there are both good, and bad parts, but they work together to make our artwork unique.
-Anthony Dowling
When you collaborating an art project with a group mate you get the experience of the person. You might also get the inexperience that you get with the partner.
You must use both optimism and pessimism to make true art. You can almost see the future with the correct usage of both optimism and pessimism.
