On Teaching: Costa Vavagiakis
“Learning to get comfortable with not knowing is one of the last stages of an artist’s development. That’s how you start to develop the habit of questioning and seeking, which can propel and sustain you outside the classroom.” — Costa
In late Spring I was interviewed by Stephanie Cassidy, Editor of LINEA, the online journal of the Art Students League of New York. LINEA is a platform for the instructor’s voice at the Art Students League, where I teach. The online journal captures some of the diverse intellectual currents within the Art Students League, from practical matters of artmaking to the bigger intellectual questions that artists face throughout their careers. It is a forum for artists anywhere, at any stage of development. Enjoy the interview!
