What Tony Bennett Taught Me About Making Excellent Art

  1. What Tony Bennett Taught Me About Making Excellent Art Kent Sanders 6:47

Every artist wants to make excellent art. No one ever sets out on the creative journey and says, “I only want to be known for making mediocre art.” We all want to create art that makes a difference.

In this episode, we take a look at an artist who has been making a difference for decades—Tony Bennett. You’ll learn from his example how to create excellent art, develop the right attitude, and make a difference in people’s lives. I’ll share several amazing quotes from his book The Zen of Bennett, as well as several practical lessons every artist can learn from Tony.
