師徒關係滋養了一代又一代的藝術家,尤其是那些沒有接受過正式培訓或受到既定守門人歡迎的藝術家——而在男性主導的領域,女性之間的支持長期以來一直充當著一種影子學院的角色,為藝術家的發展注入光彩並引領他們走向成功。下一波人才。但是,如以下示例所示,指導的概念千變萬化。一些導師也是朋友,儘管並不總是需要密切聯繫。有時,只需要適時的一句鼓勵,就能改變文化歷史的進程。

Mentor-mentee relationships have nourished generations of artists, especially those who were not provided formal training or welcomed by established gatekeepers — and in male-dominated fields, the support between women has long served as a kind of shadow academy, anointing and ushering in the next wave of talent. The concept of a mentorship, though, as seen in the examples below, is widely variable. Some mentors are also friends, though a close connection is not always necessary. Sometimes, all it takes is a word of encouragement at the right time to alter the course of cultural history.
