In this episode of The Craft, Carter and Colby discuss artistic taste. The conversation begins by considering how taste is involved in the revision process. We often have a sense that something “works,” but what is that feeling? Perhaps it’s the dictates of taste. The conversation then considers how the concept of taste differs from mere preference. After this groundwork, they engage how creatives can cultivate their artistic taste, emphasizing the importance of experiencing (or consuming) work within your discipline. By increasing the number of creative encounters, we begin to glean the language and references to produce substantial revisions.
