The art of discomfort | Leigh Bardugo | TEDxUCDavis
TEDx Talks· 2025-08-15 16:18
Core Argument - The key to artistic success lies in embracing discomfort, a skill often overlooked in education and misrepresented by media [4][5] - The media and social media perpetuate myths about the creative process, erasing the struggles and discomfort involved [5][9] - Discomfort should be viewed as a compass, guiding artists towards challenging and worthwhile endeavors, rather than a warning sign [28] Myths Debunked - The myth that finished art pieces are first drafts is false; art is iterative and thrives on revision [11][12] - The "romance of the big idea" is misleading; staying committed to an idea through discomfort is more crucial than the initial inspiration [14][17] Discomfort Differentiation - It's crucial to distinguish between "bad discomfort" (gut feelings, warning signs) and "good discomfort" (challenge, curiosity) [20][22] - "Good discomfort" involves embracing the unknown and attempting new skills, leading to growth and creativity [24][25] Practical Application - Artists should welcome bad days and moments of discomfort, recognizing them as essential to the creative process [32][35] - The focus should be on making art regardless of external validation (likes, follows, praise) [34][35]

Societal Norms and Individuality - Society is often quick to judge and discard individual nature to fit into community standards [1] - The pressure to choose specific career paths (e g, science, technology, engineering, mathematics) limits exploration and potential [1] - Societal focus on money and respect influences life choices [1] - Mistakes are learning opportunities and should be embraced, not suppressed [1] Creativity and Conformity - A study showed a decline in creativity scores from 98% at age 5 to only 2% in adulthood, suggesting creativity is suppressed by societal norms [1] - Societal standards and judgments limit freedom and creativity [1] Voice and Expression - Voice should be used as a medium for change and exploration [1] - Society imposes values on acts, thoughts, and appearances, often favoring predictability and control over unpredictability [1] - Conflicts and differences should be embraced, as life consists of tensions and contradictions [1]
