• I've had a lot of trouble motivating myself to draw lately. I can't take our assignments in school seriously. We simply don't learn anything. Our teacher is this sweet old conservative lady who really has no depth of thought. The only freedom we have in our concentration project, which is, for us senior students, almost entirely optional and to be done outside of class, since we won't be able to take Art 4 next year. We have to literally spell out everything we want to do for it to her. It's just strange to me. She's talented, creative, but so simple minded. I'm very interested in surrealism and people. I rather let the viewer decide on the relationship between whatever figures or characters I draw. If I have something specific in mind, it should be clear. If it isn't, it will become clear as they appear in more drawings. In any case.. we're doing a silk painting right now, which is very, very similar to watercolor. I love watercolor. (: Which is pretty much why I'm lagging behind; I didn't want to waste a good project on something thoughtless like flowers. Like over 90% of the example student work she showed us.. In closing? The more I think about the world the more complicated it gets. I should have taken Thoreau's advice last year or whenever. Simplify simplify. Humane sleeping habits might not hurt either.
