PRACTICE: Practice and develop your skills in a particular medium, technique, or subject matter. This may also include research and experimentation in your chosen focus.
DON'T GIVE UP: Persist and persevere through problems, challenges and obstacles. Don’t give up, even when something happens unexpectedly.
EXPRESS YOURSELF: Express and communicate your ideas, concepts, messages, personal interests, visions, and experiences through visual imagery in your artwork.
GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE: Take creative risks, explore and experiment with a new medium, technique, process, or skill that is unfamiliar and uncomfortable. You could even use an unconventional medium, or use a standard medium in an unconventional way. Ask yourself, “What would happen if…?”
PLAN FIRST: Envision, plan, design, and develop a process for a new piece by visual journaling in your sketchbook with warm ups, sketches, brainstorming ideas, mind maps, doodles, notes, research findings, magazine clippings, and any other sources of inspiration.
WORK WITH OTHERS: Collaborate with peers to design and create a collaborative artwork. All collaborators must have generally equal participation and involvement.
HOW CAN I DO THIS BETTER?: Analyze, rethink, revise, and reflect on your work in order to grow and improve. This can include personal reflection as well as exchanging feedback with your peers.
LOOK AROUND YOU: Observe and look closely at another artists and at the world around you for inspiration, noticing things that would otherwise be missed, and use this information to influence your own work. This may include working from life / direct observation.
UNDERSTAND ART BETTER: Demonstrate your understanding of the Art World by creating an artwork influenced by your understanding of, perception of, and reaction to a historical and/or cultural art movement, a particular time in art history, a historical event, current event or a social issue, or the role and relationship of visual art in our world today. Be sure to do research on other artists’ work relevant to your chosen topic before designing your own piece.
