3/5/2021 0 Comments Goals: Semester 2In the last semester, I gave myself 2 goals to work toward over the course of 5 months. Those goals were to improve and practice drawing proper proportions of humans and objects every week, and improve my design skills. Although I have still improved, I never actually completed the goal or did what I planned to. I figured this was because I already had a lot to do, was very exhausted after school and on the weekends, and so I was not motivated to do them. I still plan to continue with this goal, but I would like to shift my main focus to another one. In VAM academy semester 2, I would still like to keep my previous goals, but I decided for a new one, I want to work on cleaning up my finished art pieces. I want to be able to have cleaner lines, better proportions, and overall cleaner technique. I chose this goal because I feel like my final art pieces are always a bit messier or different than I intend them to be. I can work on this in the art room at school and at home whenever I want to paint a picture. Although I struggled with my last goal, I know that I will be able to do this one because I will make it a bit easier for myself to achieve by taking into consideration everything else on my schedule and other commitments. With all of this in mind, I feel that the best plan for me to be more successful this time is to not have a set schedule or time that I need to paint or practice as long as I practice at least once a week. I will do this by being more patient and careful with my art when necessary and watching youtube videos on how to make cleaner more finished art. In semester 2, I am also setting a goal for English class. My new English goal is going to be to hand in all my work on time. I sometimes struggle with this because school work is very draining and I don’t have the motivation to do it if I don’t enjoy it, so it would be a huge improvement if I could be able to just sit down and power through an assignment or two without dragging it on just because I don’t enjoy it. Over semester 2, I plan to hand in every single assignment in on time or early because I think it would take a lot of weight off my shoulders. This will take place over the next 5 months from now until the end of June. I will be able to do this by keeping caught up and staying focused in class time. If I ever feel like I’ve fallen behind, I will take the time to work at home as much as I can. To stay motivated, I can try putting myself somewhere where I won’t get distracted such as the basement at the table instead of the living room where I’d be distracted by my family. This will all be my own responsibility to take care of at school and at home. In the end, I chose this goal because I know it will help me later in life if I learn how to manage my time and stay motivated even if I don’t like the work I have to do. Overall, my 2 personal goals for the next half of the school year will help me improve in both art and English. I think they are both achievable and reasonable to work towards in the second half of this school year and won't be too overwhelming or too easy. I am beyond excited to get started with working on these goals for the rest of my time in the VAM academy and English class.
