I've been awake since five, don't judge my grammar.
So, I had my interview with the Transylvania Art Department today we talked a lot about my work this year. I actually feel really reassured that I am headed in the right direction with my portfolio and concentration. They said that I have a really firm hold on my ideas, which is awesome to hear from someone so far outside of my own artwork world. I think I will finish that suitcase, but acrylic terrifies me so much. I have realized though that I need more painting other than some water colors.

In continuation of last weeks blog, I still suck. I'm still trying to think of more ideas and crank out more pieces, it's just that whole senioritis thing.
I do have one idea though that I've been thinking about for a bit. It centers around the idea that, as a society, we push what we think children should be/grow up to be onto them from the very beginning. From the day they're born til the day they fall into our laid plans. The only problem is, I don't know if that fits my concentration. And that seems to be my main reason for not doing some pieces, I start to worry that people won't get it. The AP scorers or who ever gives us a grade on the 'test' or even a judge at a competition. I don't know, after a while I start to think that maybe the only reason I understand my work is because it's my work.
PS: My Mac is bipolar so I had to write this on my phone. Sorry if there is a huge amount of spelling errors. We all know how hit and miss iPhone autocorrect is.

dumb.dumb.dumb.
My ideas are dumb. All of them. I just can't art anymore it seems. I know what I want to say, but I can't find the image in my brain. Or I have the image, but my hands don't compute. I think my next projects will be in graphite because after doing that watercolor piece, I realized I freaking hate painting. It's not even that I'm not good at it, that doesn't really bother me, it's just that I don't want to fit my ideas to a medium just so I can have my breadth. I don't want to comprise what I feel needs to happen to my pieces so I can get a bit of college credit.
