Artist New Year's Resolution!

For this year, I'm trying a simpler approach to all of my New Year's resolutions.  My main resolution for this year is to be happy.  Sure, that sounds simple enough, but I can't tell you how many times I've let myself get stressed out about small details in my life.  This year, I'm just going to remain a happy person, and not let anything get in my way.  In addition to that, I'm going to set myself some resolutions as an artist.  I don't want to keep a long list of things I'll never get to, so I'm just going to keep this short and simple.


  1. Create pieces that I'm proud of.  I want to look back on a piece and have it reflect how much time and effort I put into it.  This means starting projects when they're assigned, instead of sitting in class doing nothing.
  2. Take more photos.  This year, I'm doing a 52 weeks project.  That means for the next year, I'm going to a picture a week.  I tried doing a 365 days project in 2009, which required me to take a picture everyday, and failed miserably after 45 days.  This year, I want to use my camera more, I have new equipment and I'm going to make use of it!
I was going to list more things, but I think these two are good.  Overall, I just want to leave high school and art class with a feeling of satisfaction.  I hope everyone finds as much success or even more than I do this year! (:
