Warmup

"I never too anything for granted, and I still never take anything for granted today.  When I'm presented with an opportunity, it doesn't matter how big or small, if I can do it, I'll do it.  You can ask my wife-Quinn never complains.  Quinn just get it done.  And I've always been that way.  I had no choice.  I had nowhere to go.  If I failed,I'd be on the street, homeless.  I had no family.  It was all on me.  Who was I gonna complain to?" -Nathaniel Mary Quinn

 Nathaniel Mary Quinn's practices as an artist have been inspired by his life experiences.  ON a scratch sheet of paper, list 10 personality traits or personal characteristics that an artist would be needed to be a successful artist.  This activity will be your ticket out of class today.
