Senior Sem, Crit (part 2)

So after being totally discouraged by the first part of the blitz crit I met with my second artist. She clearly knew I was frustrated and was trying pretty hard to help me out. Her advice was to figure out what it was I really liked about what I was doing or what I wanted to be doing and really hone in on that. She suggested making a list of what I want my art to be about/how I want it to come across. If it's a mood, she suggested picking 10 adjectives (and then narrowing it down to 5) describing the mood that I wanted the art to convey. She also mentioned that when she needs to be making art but can't figure out what to do she'll make art about what she wants to be doing right then. For instance if she wanted to be watching a soap opera she'd make a painting about watching a soap opera. All interesting thoughts...

She was definitely way more helpful than crit part 1, so I left still confused about my plan, but a little less frustrated.

Again, to be continued...
