Clint Baker Visit
Over all
Clint Baker was remarkable and inspirational.
He spoke on things that are relevant to the students’ future success and
he was humble. It wasn’t just about his
work of art and his success. He
exemplified passion for his work while delivering a message that can relate to
anyone. I particularly enjoyed his
answer to my question of the process of obtaining information in this new era
of access to excessive knowledge. He
enforced my thoughts of focusing on what is important to learn for you. Figuring out what you want to learn and do is
key, and the only way to get that is thru experiences and time. He also advised us to move to California or
New York to find art related opportunities.
