1. Inspiration
2. Lack of Plan
3. Unlimited Resources (Kind of stole this from Leah but I will make it my own :)
I always have a tough time finding inspiration. Being in an art class, we are always expected to make projects surrounding specific themes and then turn them in with a deadline. I know last year, we were given a project surrounding the theme of environment and I struggled to find inspiration, and therefore turned in the project WICKED late. I was over thinking what I was trying to make, and therefore lost my inspiration. As stated by the reading, "The most productive artists I know have a plan in mind when they get down to work. They know what they want to accomplish, how to do it, and what to do if the process falls off track." I rarely have a plan. I usually work on the task I was previously working on, and therefore when a task is done, I hit a wall, and kind of go off track. I think with a routine and a plan I would be able to continue working as opposed to filling in the gaps with random busy work until I find inspiration again or start the next step. The problem of unlimited resources is a good problem but can become frustrating. when there are few limitations and boundaries it becomes hard to set your mind on something specific and then run with it. Narrowing down a focus can be helpful to maintain consistency surrounding a theme.
yes yes yes. the routine, the habits become the plan. and i wonder how the limits can be self-imposed. you are kind of doing that by working with the cast off photo stuff, right?
