10/21/2020 0 Comments My GoalsGoals can be great tools to help us achieve just what we want, but they can also be frustrating and quite difficult to keep up. However, when you complete a goal, it is one of the best feelings you can imagine, finally getting what you’ve been working for all along.
In VAM Academy this year, I will be setting many small goals for myself, but I will have one main goal that I work toward for about half of the year. The goal I chose to work on this year is improving my skills and technique in designing and creating art. This is important because I enjoy drawing and would love to better the quality and creativity of my art, making it more unique. The people involved are The VAM teacher, Mr. Gray, and I. He will do his part by teaching the lessons each day and helping me when I need it. I will do my part by sticking to my goal and remember not to give up no matter how frustrating it may become. I will be able to work on this goal at school during art in periods 1 and 2, as well as at home. It is a great time to start working on this goal while I’m in art academy because I have a teacher to help guide me and teach me what I don’t yet know, and I have all the supplies necessary to work on my goal. I can accomplish this by remembering to practice as often as possible and researching topics I would like to know about. I also need to keep in mind that I will make mistakes, and get frustrated, but that is all normal, what’s important is trying again because you learn from mistakes and they only make you better. To be more specific, I created a plan to follow for the rest of 2020 Starting as soon as possible, every odd-numbered Sunday at 3:00 pm-4:00 pm, I will practice drawing an object or human in a more dynamic, interesting pose with a different technique than I usually do. On every even-numbered Sunday at 3:00 pm-4:00 pm, I will watch a YouTube video or research about proportions of objects and practice on a page in my sketchbook. I plan to have improved greatly by January 1st, 2021. I believe that I can do this before the new year and that it is very attainable as long as I keep it up, which I know I can do. I will know my goal is accomplished when there is a noticeable difference in the quality and design choices of my art, as well as a positive change in technique and the final product. However, when I feel as though I have accomplished my goal, it will never be completely over and I will continue to better my art even after VAM. I will not stop trying to improve my art because there is always room for improvement, in anything you do. So keep working to better yourself even after you accomplish your goal, keep setting new ones, and pushing yourself to be better. Another goal I would like to achieve that is more personal outside of the VAM academy, is to not be so afraid to make mistakes and take risks. This goal is important because doing what I’m comfortable with is just playing it safe and I need to not worry about making mistakes so much because truly, mistakes are what help you get better, so in the end, making more mistakes would help improve my art as well. I am the main person involved because I will be the one to force myself to take risks and in the end, it is only up to me to keep up with working on my goal. This goal will take place at home, school, and honestly, everywhere I go because you can take risks and work on not being scared of mistakes anywhere you go. This is not measurable by a specific number necessarily, it’s something that I will just know when I accomplish it. To be more specific, I will know it's accomplished when I feel less uncomfortable and ashamed of making mistakes, and take more risks in not only just art but also everything in life. I can accomplish this goal by taking more risks every day such as asking more questions in class or trying a new art medium I don’t usually go to. I know this goal is realistic and attainable because it’s something I have to do by myself and that I know I can do by myself. I believe that any time is a good time for a goal like this and that it will really be worthwhile because it’s going to help me learn and get better instead of avoiding situations. The ideal timeline for this goal is to start now and not stop because this goal is something that can also keep being worked on over time and will never be completely perfect and complete. As of today, I can ask a question in class instead of keeping to myself or try drawing something more complicated in art. Remember, don’t be afraid to make mistakes or take risks as they are what will help you learn and grow into a better person.
