Well, another week has started, and it has been a busy one so far. My school days have been very full lately as I am trying to motivate my (art) students to create more unique and interesting work and to really improve their skills. This isn't easy. They are generally lazy teenagers, who, nice as they are, have taken art because it is fun and 'easy'.
At the same time, I am trying to improve my own skills, to reignite MY imagination and find a niche for myself.
So, my days range from creating wire armatures for ballerinas, glazing clay pots, building paper maché dogs, drawing fashion illustrations, doing digital photo editing, 35mm film developing and photo printing in the dark room. Today I also had a professional sculptor come to help plan and build an outdoor sculpture/ seating area with a group of the kids.
My brain feels overstimulated.
I got home at 6pm to make dinner and entertain my kids. My primary creation for the day ended up being turkey enchiladas. spicy.
Once I got the little one to bed I was too tired to do anything more than look at other people's creative endeavors on Flickr. It hasn't been a terrible day, not at all, but a very full one. Just as the moon is nearing fullness right now... so am I. I couldn't take in much more, and most certianly can't put anything out. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
