Personal Learning Objectives (Week 2) (Catching Up!)

 My personal learning objectives for this class are as follows:

1) I want to make weird art.

This was a goal I stated last semester in intermediate painting, and while I feel I accomplished it there, there's always more room for weirdness. I want my art to be less cut and dry, more open to interpretation, more thought-provoking and all around odd. I want it to feel like something only I can make, not because of my visual style, but because I'm the only one with my brain.

2) I want to focus on process over product.

A new medium every week means there won't be much time to make every work a masterpiece. I want to explore new materials and learn from the process, rather than fixating on an end result. 

3) I want to explore what makes my art feel like mine.

Trying out new mediums, I'm going to be making work that doesn't have the usual trademarks of my visual art style, and I want to unpack my artistic identity outside of those.

While these learning objectives have more to do with my own growth as an artist than anything else, I feel as though that's the main thing this class offers. By becoming more well-rounded and introspective as artists, we'll become better art educators, and that's what I'm aiming to do.
