Journal Writing Prompt: Who are you?
“I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.”
~Ben Shahn
In your journal, write about your own labels & titles. Do you think they make up the whole of who you are? Do you love your titles or feel constricted by them? Explore the idea of the “labels” you have and your feelings toward them.
Daily journal writing prompt bonus: Do you agree with Mr. Shahn? Do you think artists are more likely to rebel against having a title? Do you include yourself in the “artist” group or know someone who is an artist? Is there a difference? Does that rebellion against being labeled really have anything to do with the art in the artist or is it something greater?
