IT’S ALMOST SUMMER
I cannot wait to get all of this responsibility and worry off of my shoulders for 3 months.
This has been one of the most tiring semesters for sure. Upper division courses make me want to work even harder, thus creating more stress for myself. In the end it will be worth it. Once I secure my spot in the graphic design program I am going to be so happy.
Art really challenges me to overcome my procrastination. I can’t just cram information in the day before and then fill in bubbles in a scantron and it’s over. It’s either you do it, or you get nothing. Time always must be managed and sometimes it takes awhile for inspiration or a good idea to come along. Sometimes I am glad that I had a tough experience in my first studio course because it made me want to work harder. I am very fortunate that I’ve had some teachers this semester that really care about our work and want to see us succeed in the program.
My goal this summer is to draw more. It’s been nearly a year since my last drawing class and I’m afraid I’m going to lose what I had practiced. Everything has been design since then, and it’s not giving me a chance to really draw. I pretty much tell myself this every summer that I’ll attempt to draw more, but I rarely ever stick to something to make an actual piece out of. This time I will try! Even if it’s just a tiny crappy sketch at least I did something.
Time to tackle an art history test and project tomorrow. One more week one more week.
