Rayshawn:
I was feeling sort of lame trying to think of some resolution to hold myself to. I never stick to resolutions. In fact, I was looking at a list I made 10/31/07. Out of the 7 things on the list I've completed 1/2. I'm impulsive! That's my problem. And I'm rebellious. I don't like having to do things on a schedule or because 'I have to.' I'd like to get better at completing things that I start. Including ideas. I think what makes a good artist is the ability to organize ideas and see them through completion.
Perfection is an idea killer.
Peep some definitions of resolution: the act of analyzing a complex notion into a simpler one: the act of answering: the passing of a voice part from a dissonant to a consonant tone: the point in a literary work at which the chief dramatic complication is worked out: a measure of the sharpness of an image or of the fineness.
Synonym: COURAGE!!!
So if you're like me and you hate resolutions, we can do this together! I'm putting myself on blast and posting my 3 resolutions to the world! I'm giving the world permission to call me out if I'm slippin'. Here we go:
CREATE SOMETHING EVERYDAY: This includes-writing/visual art/something that exist from an idea...
VISIT AT LEAST 3 ART GALLERIES A MONTH: Chicago has so many art galleries that I never visit. My idea is to get a better understanding of art by spending time looking at art. Makes sense to me....
MAKE A BLOG POSTING ONCE A WEEK: Give my thoughts/ideas a place to live. Hopefully, this will hold myself accountable...
Not subject to change...
peace
