Hello everyone! This is a new blog entry for some new goals in this new semester. Last semester I set two goals. One, was to make abstract paintings every week for a total of 20 paintings. The other goal was to meditate everyday. To be honest I made 4 paintings, and meditated less frequently although still consistently. Even though I didn’t make my full goal, I still managed to get better at abstract painting, and I seem to be a lot more focused which I think is due to meditation. For the new semester I am doing two SMART goals. One is for english language arts, and the other is for visual arts.
The first goal is for visual arts. Last semester I worked on abstract art, and while that was useful, I think that other areas of artistic study would be more beneficial to me. One area I have been struggling with is anatomy and characters. In the new semester there will be an independent project which is going to take up many months of work starting in March. Needless to say this is a big project and my skills are not where I would like them to be while doing a project like this. Therefore I am going to be able to draw properly designed characters and people much faster than I can right now. I will do this by doing figure drawings and practising anatomy every day. During the next months of the year I will also do a character drawing course when I have free time. By mid June I will be able to sketch quick anatomy and draw characters more effortlessly. The second goal is for English language arts. I have never tried to intentionally get better at writing or language arts, so this is new to me. Once again, I have an independent project coming up, and I need to be prepared to make the best art possible at this time. Although art isn’t just technical skills, It is also emotion and storytelling. Therefore I can’t do good in the project without proper knowledge of storytelling, character development, scripting, etc. This is why I am aiming to become well versed in worldbuilding, character development, and proper structure during the next few months. To do this, I am going to read and study different books and films, as well as realize their techniques to improve my writing and storytelling skills. I am also going to work on the short story I wrote earlier this year and try to improve it as much as possible. In conclusion, come June, I will be able to write short stories with proper structure as well as do better worldbuilding and character development for my art. I will achieve this by studying film and literature (as well as other forms) and applying techniques to my own work. In the visual arts category, I am aiming to be able to draw diverse characters to include in stories, and understand basic anatomy by June. I will do this by practicing anatomy every night, and doing a character drawing course.
