Throughout the pages you read there are many warnings about how artists can get into "trouble", creatively, in their work. Think about which of these you can imagine being potential issues for you and/or your classmates in the Senior Studio class. Select three of these issues, and on your blog, describe how you can see them coming up in class. Be specific in your writing! Use references (quotes) to the text and to your own work/process in your writing.
Twyla Tharp outlines several of the problems in the reading.
- wrong materials
- unlimited resources
- a sense of obligation
- wrong structure
i feel connected to this problems mostly. i feel like i always start off with a plan and though some sort of path of self destruction, something goes wrong and it is usually one or all of those four things. Often my idea seems really good in my head but it translates really poorly to paper or i cannot choose what i want to use to make my idea. I think the best quote that she says is, "It's natural to want to establish as many ground rules as possible about form before you get down to work, but you have to choose the form that's not only appropriate to you but for your particular idea." I like this quote because it touches on the idea that for every idea, there are a million ways to translate it into some physical form, the trick is being able to pick the right one.
However i think that my biggest problem is that i for some reason cannot commit to finishing anything. In my room i have paintings and drawings and sculptures that remain unfinished. I am frustrated by seeing them but for some reason i cannot find the motivation to finish them.
