2010 Goals and Themes for the Year
Posted by admin - 03/01/10 at 07:01 pmWriting my goals took longer than I thought. I think it is because I can feel that 2010 is going to be wonderful. I don’t want to miss a thing. Without further ado here are my 2010 themes and goals for making art.
Color for the year: GREEN. I guess you can tell by my logo, the website and the blog that I have been feeling green for a minute. I really love the look of chartreuse and gray together.
Theme music for the year: Nina Simone, Feeling Good
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by you know how I feel
(refrain:)x2
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me
And I’m feeling good
Art goals. Ten Goals for 2010:
- draw every day
- participate in 1 or 2 art retreats or workshops
- more work in encaustic
- printmaking (block printing and silk screen)
- expand my creative community/become more active in SAQA and PAQA-South
- improve photography skills
- dye more fabric (fun!)
- complete manuscript
- add one new style to my doll line
- enter/exhibit in more shows
I am also looking forward to participating in the African Diaspora reading challenge, making more traditional quilts with a contemporary funky twist and riding my mountain bike more yeeee haaaa!
2010 is going to be beautiful and art-filled.
