Motivate me

[BarenakedLady]

I have so much school work to do, I need someone to kick my ass into gear. If I want to submit artwork for the student show, I need finished and matted pieces by Friday. I have one graphite that is basically finished but needs more shading work, a charcoal that is way too light needing serious attention, and a pen and ink still life that is 70% done. None are matted.

I'm still kicking myself for letting home issues sidetrack me from submitting stuff for a student art booklet last month. Some of my classmates had artwork accepted in it. It is an annual thing, so there is always next year but...

:banghead:

Maybe I need to go to the school studio. The house is too distracting. :shrug:

1. That stinks about the submission

speaking of submission...


Hop to it! *crack*

7. I just got a Mountain Dew out of the new machine downstairs

IT'S GOT A ROBOT ARM TO GRAB YOUR DRINK!


Coolest vending machine, ever.

Except the ones in Japan which sell used panties :rofl: ( not really )

[SOteric]

10. If there were such a machine, -

I just *KNOW* the Japanese would be the ones to build it.

3. Sorry...

If I find any motivation, I'll need to apply some of it to myself--but I can share the rest!

I have three--no, wait, four--stories due by the end of the week, and Friday's out because MG Jr.'s kindergarten assessment is that day. Yeahhhh two days, four stories, and here I sit camped out on DU. Ain't it always the way?

I hear you about the house being distracting. I'm forcing myself NOT to do laundry or cook or paint the bathroom, and instead sit at my 'puter, which is only kind of working (to wit: camped out on DU).

Definitely go to the studio. I need a laptop so I can get the heck away from distracting things myself. Good luck! :hi:

[BarenakedLady]

8. Thank you

I'm thinking leaving the house would be a good idea. Too many distractions, including DU. LoL.

:hi:

[MorningGlow]

13. It's a lovely day out there

Still warm, but with the pitter-pat of a bit of rain. Very spring-y. :hi:

[DS1]

5. Your art is so dangerous to human eyeballs it should be matted with Police tape

:scared:

[BarenakedLady]

9. Ahhhh, you are familiar with my work then.

Smart ass. :P

Consider yourself motivated and kicked out of the house:

[BarenakedLady]

24. I stayed home

But I did get some stuff accomplished.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

32. oh well. I tried.

:shrug: at least you got some stuff accomplished. :D

[BarenakedLady]

33. Yup

I worked on all three pieces. I can probably cut the mats at school tomorrow and get some feedback from my teacher as well.

:woohoo:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

34. Good for you !! Good Luck with your entries --

How exciting for you!

[Guava Jelly]

19. I'll be right over

Let me get my ass kicking shoes on.

[BarenakedLady]

25. Then nothing would get done!

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

29. Something might get done(just nothing productive)

:D :hi:

[BarenakedLady]

30. Teehee

I hope you are doing well, my friend.


:hug:

[Guava Jelly]

31. I am doing better than some

Big hugs to you.

20. As an art teacher ...

Finish the graphite and mat it. One finished piece.

then finish the charcoal and mat it. Charcoal is a fast medium to work in, and should not take you long to do.

Then you have two completed pieces for the show.

Then turn to the pen-and-ink still life, and do what you can, depending on how detailed you like to be and how much time you have, and mat that.

You can have one to three pieces ready for the show, this way, and will at least get something in.

[BarenakedLady]

26. I should have read this post first. LoL.

I worked on the pen & ink. I'm going to tackle the graphite one next. I don't have matting material here at home, but I can probably get them matted tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice. :D

[libodem]

21. First...

[BarenakedLady]

That's just crazy talk.

23. back in college

(20 something years ago) i use to put on frank zappa music to open my creative side. it got me an "a" in english that year (we had to compose one work for each type of lit we read)

[BarenakedLady]

28. I did crank my iTunes

Music certainly does help.

:thumbsup:

I'm back to college after 20 years. This "homework" stuff is hard to get used to again. :)
