It's coming to the end of 2010 and what have I accomplished artistically? Well....hmmm..... dammit, it seems like I have been repeating the same comments to myself for 20 years - seriously. I look back on journals and I haven't evolved much. This year...what did I do?
...........................................................
OK -- I'm very proud of the cute little reindeer picture I put together which I ended up putting on holiday cards which I haven't mailed out....
Goal 1: Mail 5 cards - your work doesn't exist of someone doesn't see it.
............................................................
Cup o' cocoa is a really cute lesson -- I'm proud of that and I will work on posting the lesson online.
Goal 2: Write and publish lesson plan
...........................................................
I have gotten SSR to be rated #1 in AZ and up to #6 in the flippin' NATION on artsonia -- that's WAY cool!!!
Goal 3: find more helpers for artsonia
I have also realized that I don't like the "art studio" and have created a good space for myself int he loft -- Go Me!
Next time I log into this blog to create a posting, I will be so proud of myself! :)
Welcome to a space about sharing ideas, musings and possibly some venting...about teaching art. I LOVE the people who I work with and especially the art teachers who I don't get to see very much. When we DO get together - there is a firey burst of energy coming from our gatherings! Hopefully, we will be able to share some of that happy, excited to be an artist/teacher energy with you! Oh yeah, is also about sharing lessons, inspirations, art museum reviews and whatever else comes to mind...

Artist Block...no blog.... block...
I am blocked - and I think this will help. I just read something very funny. It had something to do with art cars. I decided, "Hey, I should write that down. That's amusing." By the time I remembered how to get to my blog site and log in I forgot.
SO...
Tonight was very nice. I hosted the PTA Reflections art show. The kids I saw today were great. I felt so happy to be around them. I also appreciate all the help I get whenever PTA mom's are around.
Oh..funny... My dog, Daisy, is in the other bedroom (I am in the guest suite) and I can hear her biting her nails. Yes, she really does bit her nails...like a nervous kid. She's so cute and sweet but neurotic. She's a lot like me. She's also got issues with facial hair (haha) and snores big time.
I do feel happy. I am happy to be going back to work next year. I am happy I still live in this great house. I am happy that I have started drawing a lot more and I am happy that I am still a great artist - although I'm sorta a blocked one... blogged too.
I have an aspiration to stay involved with my own art.
I hear a coyote howling right now - it's a new moon - very dark outside. That damn coyote probably ate my Ms. Precious Perfect last week. God, that put me into a depression.
Anyway, aspiration - I will continue to draw on my journal. It feels less threatening to draw in a journal. I enjoy being able to rip out a page - now I just have to learn how to get rid of it once it's gone.
I think that is what I will practice the next few days, getting rid of old art that doesn't work for me anymore.
I am still looking at the big black canvas but there are at least a few more ideas on how to fill it coming into my head. More will come.
