To draw or not to draw, that is the question
Wow I think I'm really running out of things to analyze. Maybe I should create a list so then I wouldn't be reduced to figuring out what to write about. Anyways here you go! ;)
As it approches closer and closer to Christmas, I began thinking. Why am I so behind in art? Well from that question there are many reasons. First let's analyze why it takes me so long to complete a picture. You have to understand something about me and that is I'm a perfectionist when it comes to art. Why? Well it's because I want my picture to look as realistic or perfect as possible or otherwise in my opinon the picture will look terrible. I am always self concious of how my picture looks because just like my last art teacher said, "You will always be able to find the miskakes in your picture because you took the time to draw it." Therefore because I am self consious of my pictures, I will take more time to make it look excellent. So this is one of the reasons why it takes me so long to complete a picture.
Secondly, because we have a new art teacher this year in AP, she believes that we don't have very many worthy pictures for the AP test (portfolio). So because of this she assigns one picture a week in art. Now as noted above, I tend to take more time on a picture to make it look good. So from this you can see why I'm behind. How? Well the pictures just keep adding up since I will take so much time on finishing one. Yet because I take more time on finishing one, I tend to not have an idea for the next one. This is because I was so focused on finishing it that I hadn't begun to think an idea up for the next one. So as you can see I get more behind because every week she would assign a new project whether or not your finished with the others.
In conclusion, hopefully you can understand something. Many students in class (like me) can get behind easily in AP art because of the weekly assignments. We take time on pictures because we all want them to look good so that they can be used in the AP portfolio. Thus we will be spending most of our Christmas vacation catching up (which I don't want to do).
