Art Group meeting

Today met with my artist friends to review Chapter 1. We all agreed that Eric Maisel's book is much more stimulating and intelligently written than The Artist Way.

​Exercises:

"How can I best nurture my wish to create?"

I can nurture my wish to create by honoring my legitimate self, dedicating my time to my art practice, and sharpening my technique when I don’t feel inspiration. How will I practically do this? How will I honor my true self? How will I dedicate time to creativity, when I need to address finding dependable part time work to financially support myself?

First, I will continue to schedule time at my art studio on my calendar. I can ensure this commitment, because I responsibly adhere to the engagements on my calendar.

I also will continue to take care of my mental and physical health to support being inspired and energetic. This means sustaining an exercise program and augment it with weight training.
Concurrently, I will adhere to weekly mental therapy and my daily prescription program.
​
I commit to attending figure drawing sessions at least once a month, to sketch at least once a week, and to revisit my personal symbols notebook. As usual, these undertakings will be recorded in my artblog, which helps me keep focused and act as a reminder of how devoted I am to creativity.
Finally, I will contact BAVC to inquire about acquiring satisfying and steady part time work that will heal my worrisome mind. It will liberate nervous energy, leaving me with even more potency to create extraordinary artwork to share with the world and myself.
