Being in an artistic funk sucks majorly. Lately I just can't seem to come up with any ideas that I'm happy with. In fact, the first assignment for my ONE STUDIO CLASS I turned in unfinished because I got so frustrated with it! I could not get into the project at all. I can't remember ever being this upset with myself. All of my ideas are total rip-offs of old projects I have done, old projects that were not even that good! And, of course, when I come up with a project idea I like, I can't because I'm 2 and a half hours away from the materials I need. So now that I'm not actually making anything I just sit and stare at my old art. I have found that I have no distinct style or focus and my quality is never steady. I dislike feeling so unmotivated. What's worse is that I'm actually quite happy. I'm really enjoying school right now and I have some really solid friends to do things with. So since I'm sad about my art funk my happy becomes melancholy, and I HATE BEING MELANCHOLY. See how feeling escalate? Why couldn't I be depressed? Depressed artists make AWESOME art, and if I was depressed making such awesome angsty art would make me happy again anyways!
