Top 3 Value Bombs:

1. Staying True to Your Artistic Vision: Isaac Scott emphasizes the importance of staying true to your own vision of work, regardless of trends or the opinions of others. Chasing attention or approval can be unfulfilling in the long run. Instead, focusing on what you find interesting and staying authentic to your creative process can lead to more fulfilling and unique artwork.

2. Understanding Your Audience: Isaac shares insights on the importance of understanding your audience. When explaining or presenting your work, keeping the language simple and accessible can be more effective, especially for those not familiar with art terminology. This can make your work more relatable and appealing to a broader audience.

3. The Importance of Experimentation and Adaptation: Art school, as per Isaac's experience, provides a platform to experiment, adapt and evolve as an artist. It's not just about learning techniques, but also about learning to navigate the complex landscape of the art world, building relationships, and understanding the language of art.
