~~SYMPTONS CHECK LISTS~~

1. ART BLOCKS- "I want to draw but nothing comes to my mind!"
Quote:
Possible causes:
1. Too stressful: A mind that is over-stressed by enviroment, expectations and family is more pron to this problem.

2. Low self-esteem: Low self-esteem and high self-expectations can cause art blocks, because the person will be too busy self-beating rather than focusing on improving.

3. Lack of exploration: When you stay if your own pond too long, it will dry up.

4. Too relaxed: When you are away too long, you find it hard to get back into that motion you used to have while you create.

Possible Healing:
1. Find out what is truely stressing you at the moment in life, try to resolve the problem if you can, if the situation is beyond your control, try to find materials, activities, or consoling that can help ease your stress.

2. Try to look at the world and yourself with "half-full" view of life.. we always have rooms for improvement. See what your strength is, because that is just as true as your mistakes.

3. Try some art that is completely different from your own, or just stop thinking about creating for a while and search for interesting subjects that are completely not related to your work instead. To find inspiration.

4. Try to take a look back at your own work, read/view them over again, and critque yourself, or do a few sketches/drafts that are in relation to the old work to get yourself going.

5. Get into the habit of drawing/doodling whatever everyday, when it's natural to draw for you, you will overcome the bad days of drawing.

2. EMPTYNESS: "I have been staring at the blank page and don't know what to do... my mind is just.... blank."
Quote:
Possible causes:
1. Fear: Fear of failure can cause the blockage of ideas coming into your mind.
2. Too concerntrated: When your mind is too concerntrated and focused on "trying to create something good" you will loose the focus on the creative process itself, and the lack of "fun" is a killer to creativity.

Possible Healing:
1. Relax yourself, do something you like to do, don't force ideas to come, then you will have them.
2. PLAY: Play with whatever you have, and you can come up something new easily with simple drawing games.


3. BORINGNESS: "My art just looks boring, the background is always blank, my character is always in the center, I can only draw the same pose. Not many people comment on my art, maybe I suck."
Quote:
Possible Causes:
1. Lack of training: You will need to self-improve on the knowledge of element and principle of designs, knowing those knowledge will help you to get out of the boringness your work has.
2. Lack of Experiementation: You haven't explored enough and learn what you can from artists who are very different from you. You are more stuck with your current level and practice rather than exploring into different possiblities.

Possible Healing: Train yourself in the understanding of art principles and elements, practice according to practical goals you know you can achieve, but they should still be challenging. Go out and see artists that are totally different, dig the art you don't look at.


4. LACK OF INSPIRATION: "I have so many ideas, but none of them seem to be any good."
Quote:
Possible cause:
1. Your mind is stressed, similar to art blocks, but this is particularly due to high-expectations of self.
2. Other pressure: Pressure to perform and do well will stress the mind too much to create.
3. Over and Over: You are doing the same thing, using similar solutions to the problems, the variety is little, soon you may run out of ideas.

Possible healing: Try to rest your mind, do things that make you enjoy yourself, and go outside to explore new enviroment, new art.


5. THE "I suck" syndrome: "I can never do what they did. I suck." "This is wrong... that is wrong... my picture suck, I know I suck!"
Quote:
Possible Causes:
1. Affects from others: when others give you bad comments and you took it for real and believe in it, while others could have just been uneducated or uncaring to give constructive comments to help you to get better.

2. Seeking Comfort: You could be the most skillful artist and not realize your own strength because you seek comfort in saying "I suck" or "I did this and that badly..." and have others say "No you don't you did great!" to feel better about yourself. With this problem, you are less likely to improve because if others give you criticism, you have developed no capacity to take it into account, you can simply brush it over by the word " I know I suck anyway." or "Oh yeah? then how well do you do?"

3. Seeking self-improvement: You'd say "I suck" to make yourself get better, but that's not the best way to get yourself better. Think about what you are doing to yourself, you are whipping yourself to go forward. When you make it, you are also quite wounded in the process. Then you can't develop to your full protiential.

Possible healing:
1. Learn about art terms, and use them to critic your own work before you put it out, and understand others may or may not be educated enough to help you, you have to help yourself.

2. Stop seeking comfort in saying "I suck" seek comfort in saying: "I am good enough and I can get better." And find out what you can get better in.

3. See your own strength, and your own weakness. Develop your strength to the fullest, and improve on your weakness.


6. JEALOUSY syndrome: "She is not so great, she still got the hands wrong, the anatomy is wrong too." "Damn, how did this person got so popular? S/he doesn't deserve it."
Quote:
Possible Causes:
1. You see yourself less than others, instead of appreciate other's strength and learn to increase your own, you will seek to tear others down or beat down others, that's when jealousy become destructive and harmful.

2. Discrimination: You see popular people who aren't as skillful in your own perfection, but they gain so much more attention than you. It's easy then to become jealous. Although most of us won't admit it, and rather bash the others.

Possible Healing:
1. Knowing Jealousy is merely an emotion, it can do both good and bad depending what you do with it.

2. People>> Connection >> Self: understand this world is really not just about individual efford, popularity is gained through the audience's favor, and the artist's efford. Skill alone does not determine popularity, but skill and efford is required to gain popularity.

3. Everyone's got a different background, different start, different development: This world is NOT fair in our own terms, but it's because of that, this world has variety. We all start from different stage, different time, different goals, and different families. That influences our skill level and development.

4. Let Jealousy work for you: Jealousy can make you improve if you decided to catch up to the one you are jealous at, as long as you focus on gaining strength instead of tearing down, you will get better in the race.


7. BURNT OUT syndrome: "I have ideas.... but I just don't want to draw... but yet I want to draw, but I am too tired.... ARGGG!!!" "I have got no time for myself!!!"
Quote:
Possible Causes:
1. Got too involved in things that distract you from your most important goals.
2. Made promises that you shouldn't.
3. Can't say NO to people.

Possible Healling:
1. Sit down, leave what you are doing until your mind can be calm, then think about what is the most important, list them down and do them in order. It's a disciplin that can help you in the future.
2. If you can't make it, don't promise it; know your own limit, and apologize for failed promise that you can't keep.
3. Learn to say NO for your own good, everyone needs to set a bondry. If your life keeps you busy, then don't take art trades, or requests etc.
4. Rest- For some, resting is hard, but resting is a state of mind where you are calm and can think logically over things, you are not rushing to complete anything because you know you won't die even if you don't do it.
Resting is also enjoying life, give up striving, and just appreciate art as art, and appreciate doing art.



More Details of these symtoms be updated later.

Critque Styles


Quote:
Critque is just pointing out the mistakes of the picture.

WRONG, WRONG WRONG and WRONG

The statement you just read was pure criticism. A proper critique is more than that. A critique can always contain criticism, but a criticism doesn't always content a critique.

A proper critique should include:
arrow Use of technical terms and terms of art listed below.
arrow Point out the cause of the problem as well as the effect of the problem
arrow Recongize the strong points as well as the weak points.
arrow Possibly give a direction or suggestion for improvement.
arrow anaylize the problem critically, and have a organized output.
arrow critique is not always about criticism, it can also be for praise.

Styles of Critiques:
1. Praise critque: using artistic vocab to appreciate an artwork that has been done.
2. Encouragement critque: Encourage the artist to move on focusing on suggestions and directions to improve.
3. Criticism Critique: Critques that tears down, points out root cause of a problem in the artwork. (not just surfacial problems)
4. Blunt Critique: Frank statements about the artworks, straight to the points of likes and dislikes and why.

(Read more)


Artistic Terms and vocab

Every artists should know these terms.

Remembering them and thinking in these terms helps your work to move to a professional level and you will take critic less personally.

Unity- describes the total effect of the work of art through the effective use of the elements and principles. (summery of how everything works together.)


the assignments I may be giving will be based on them and individual needs.

Quote:
EXTRA: The Trend of Thinking in our Art history

1. The Natural trend: Nature, it is a form of beauty of all kinds, no one denies that; thus it was the standard for acient calligraphy artists to study, and used to describe many forms of art.

2. The elemental trend: Lines, dots, shape, tints, shades and color, those are art element related thinking trend; most of the art teacher today uses this trend of thinking to critique

3. Being: The beauty of the artwork is determined by the viewer, its beyond all standard of beauty and ugliness. Being yourself and express through your art is the most important thing. (So some goes for extreme ugliness, or extreme beauty)

4. Moral: The beauty of the artwork lies in it's moral value, and what it is inspired by.
