The Influence of Other People’s Perceptions When Learning Art

Should the way we learn art be shaped by other people’s standards? Or is art about discovering our own style and creative journey?

The Influence of Other People’s Perceptions When Learning Art

When learning art, we often unknowingly allow other people’s perceptions to influence our creative process.

We’re afraid of making mistakes. Afraid that our work will look bad. Afraid that we’re not good enough. Afraid that what we create won’t live up to the standards around us.

This can feel even more challenging when we start learning art as adults. We’re already used to being competent in our respective fields, so becoming a beginner again can feel uncomfortable. Every mistake can feel like something we need to avoid rather than a natural part of learning.

This is one of the conversations explored in **Cetakan Persepsi Orang Lain dalam Belajar Seni | Podcast Berseni #2 Part 2 #beraniberseni #berseni.

In this episode, we have a casual conversation about how other people’s perceptions can shape the way we see our own work. We talk about the fear of making mistakes, comparing ourselves to others, and the overthinking that can sometimes stop us from creating altogether.

But art isn’t always about right or wrong.

Not every artwork needs to follow a certain standard. Not everyone needs to have the same style. And we don’t need to create something perfect when we’re just starting out.

Learning art should give us the space to try, experiment, make mistakes, and gradually discover our own way of creating.

Maybe our first artwork won’t be perfect. Maybe our style will continue to change. And that’s okay.

Because everyone’s creative journey is different.

Podcast Berseni is a casual space for conversations about creativity, self-doubt, and finding the courage to start creating again, especially when we begin as adults.
