Messy, uneven and tired - processes, themes and techniques, AAArrrrhhhhh I continue to stare onto the surface of a sad canvas or paper, design or painting. I'm still determined to fight my way through what feels like a jungle of vines. I must win this battle. I hate what I am producing but hopefully will break this circle of struggle.
Should I give up on what I felt was a style or process which I enjoyed to create? What was that? Should I instead, follow what feels like, a successful teaching of art? The outcomes that are produced from within my classroom are much more exciting. I am currently working on a project with year 7 which is inspired by Urban Decay, they are beginning to look great. I plan on teaching a different technique for each surface layer. Mono-print designs,stenciling and graffiti will be the first few processes. My students are enjoying the freedom and mess we are making.
Maybe a teacher to inspire ideas is just as rewarding, however I so do desire to be inspired by my own work.
I will continue to push through this.
