I have yet to sleep in the Studio. And I hope to keep it that way. There are many horror stories of artist sacrificing sleep in order to complete a project and the after effects is the worst part. There was this boy in my class who finished all of his art assignments, but ended up staying awake all night to morning in the studio. He was able to move with enough efficiency to clean up, eat, change and run back. I felt so bad for him as he snored in our class and our teacher didn't know about him pulling an all-nighter. He call him out mentioning that he missed half of the video example we were watching. My teacher didn't know and we couldn't say anything because, we all know that we have to suck it up.
(I was able to finish...it was difficult.)
We have to suck it up and fight through the first year by doing our best in whatever we create. Eventually, we would all do the same thing and sacrifice a lot in order to meet deadlines. Whether is be working for 8am to 8pm, to running back and forth from the remote Bowe Studio countless of times or sleeping in the studio...we will all face it and succeed.
Determination: I keep on telling myself that I will fight, fight, fight. I am going to be positive.
Positivity: It is important in everything, not only art. One has to be positive and accept the good and bad in art...and life as well. However, it all depends on the situation. Sometimes a person has to listen (like during a critique) and something a person has to fight.
Acceptance or Reluctance? That is the question...
As an ending note, I will do my best in everything that is thrown at me and if I mess up, I will smile and overcome the situation.
There I go again...telling myself to be confident. (I like giving myself a boost every now and then. hehe. :D)
It's great to see that you have the determination to finish things on time (and stay out of the studio overnight). Positivity is a needed thing in the first year because just being flustered from so much work being given will knock out anyone. Good job on finishing on time also and hope that it stays that way because just hearing about that kid is quite sad.
ReplyDeleteI plan to neveerrr pull an all-nighter for AFO by managing my time well. So far it's working. We always get at least a week to finish an assignment so it's up to us to not waste time when we actually have it so we don't have to sacrifice sleep. Good job not having to be like that kid. I feel so sorry for people like that. In reality, he probably wasted a lot of time this week and put things off. At least we're smarter!
