one down, two to go
This is super busy week for Christine because I have large assignments due in all 3 of my art courses. I've been dreading it to the point of some heavy procrastination (at times). I didn't know why, but after finishing one of the 3 assignments I have some thoughts. I'm a teensy bit of a perfectionist, which is odd to say since a lot of my work tends to be "sloppy-chic". While working on my last piece I found myself hating it so much; I didn't know how to save it and therefore I didn't want to work on it anymore. The amazing thing is that by actually working on it through to completion I was really able to turn it around into something I'm kind of proud of. So next to being a perfectionist I'm going to add impatience to my personality palette.
I also discovered that I'm way way way too hard on myself. I mean, that's what a lot of artists do, especially in the midst of so much competition when you want to be the best, but I would put myself down so much before even starting work that its no wonder why I wouldn't want to start. Its no fun being kicked around by your own ego. I'm trying to be more positive in my thinking-- in general-- it's not easy to do but it sure feels much nicer.
When I get access to a large enough scanner, or a camera that can take a decent photo, I will share some of my work here.
