Wrapping up

Everyone is ready for the semester to come to a close. As each semester winds down its almost like you can feel the motivation and determination drop away with each passing day. While classes are in full swing students get into a routine, and become accustomed to the rhythm of the school year and its demands. However, as the countdown gets lower and lower, it becomes more difficult to stay focused.

But, this is the last stretch. Just one more week of studying, getting up early, and rushing in a panic to get studio art projects complete. Just one more week before a glorious, restful span of time away from school. This break will not only be chance to relax and catch up with family over the holidays, but will also serve to refresh ideas. After three months of consistent work on art, I have begun to run out of good ideas.

The break will give me a chance to stop thinking about art for a couple of weeks. Or, at least, it will give me a chance to stop thinking about the same ideas I have been thinking about for months on end. The time off will renew my idea store-room, and definitely allow me to come back to the new semester with fresh ideas and motivation to make a lot of art.
