ugh.
I feel like my only decent art work this year are breadth pieces, which I hate. I am not happy with my art whatsoever - I can do so much better. I am not all that excited for these shows because of this, and it is so frustrating. I don't really know what to do. I don't have time to do stuff that I will love to put into bloom because it is so near, and that one makes me the most sad because it involves all the other students around me who participate and I want to show them my talent. I guess I should have thought about that a little earlier? I've just had a really bad past year and a half with family and school and stuff, mostly family, and I think it has really just kept me from giving it my all. That shouldn't be an excuse, though. But... it is true. I feel like all that matters though is that I know I am talented and I know that I have an artistic eye. However, I have come to find I think I am better at things like still life's opposed to just sitting down and drawing. I also have so much to learn and tons of room to grow, and I am excited to do just that.

Emily, It is amazing how fast time goes by. High school is almost over, and I have been so pushed on time that I wish I had more projects completed. You are very talented! and I know that maybe you may not love your work, but that doesn't mean that other people won't. So don't be dreading the art shows--enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteEmily, I think you without a doubt have the talent and drive, so that isnt even a problem and I wouldnt worry about that. Highschool... is mainly for your general education. Notice that how ever many pieces you create, you cant decided on how exactly you want your pieces to look. Once you are in college, that is where the molding will begin.. you will start to direct your artistic path to the style you see best. Your work is great now, just wait til later! stay with it!
ReplyDeleteYou doubt yourself too much Emily!! Even if you don't have pieces that you like that much to put in Bloom, it's ok because you've gotten into bigger shows and your peers know that you are good. You don't have to stress about proving that. The other shows are still a little off, so take some time to yourself to do just 1 or 2 really amazing pieces that you can be proud of :)
