I can't wait to update you on what I have been up to since my last post. I am a changed woman. My creativity is revived.. Is what I wanted to be able to say. I am sorry to say that I have done nothing. Big Old Ops. All the work for school, for students, for their projects, none for myself... but I did get AMAZING support from people. I want to thank you all for that, knowing that I am not alone in this and that I have amazing people who can offer ideas, guidance and share their own solutions has been great.
Suggestions included: Start a class Start a drawing a day challenge See more art Look for the inspiration in the every day Take LSD (this was a joke) Make time for it Sign up for a masters long distance at SCAT or OCA Find what gave me passion before and revisit it Don't worry about the 'should' as much Start the artists' way All fantastic, none followed.. I have made these steps: Bought a car (so I can finally get places) Told myself that it was ok that I still wasn't doing anything. Made more excuses than work. I have been creatively using more EAL resources in my lessons following recent PD, but just not artwork. Talked about this problem with lots of creative people, from different fields and places. Made a new GalPal GREAT START, JESS! Well, I am not all doom and gloom, I am going to try again, and this time I have a secret weapon- my book Creative Block has arrived. I am committing to doing each task and reflecting. I did like the fact that I had written the last post, but I also felt so awkward and exposed. That faded. Keep commenting and giving advise. Thanks team.
