Reflecting on my art capacities was actually quite difficult for me. I am naturally an indecisive person, and while filling this out I found myself second guessing my responses and changing my answers a lot. I had never really thought about how I viewed my work and my process. I think I am still finding myself as an artist and still forming my opinions on the way I create art.
I felt that the two things I am strong at are noticing deeply and searching for compelling images. To me, these categories go hand-in-hand. Everyday I observe my surroundings and always seem to notice the little things. I am interested in details and I enjoy finding beauty in things that are often overlooked. When viewing artwork, I enjoy analyzing it and attempting to pull out all of its meaning. Before starting a new piece art, I always search for images of inspiration. The more I am exposed to compelling images, the more ideas I have. For example, much of my concentration is a result of going out and experiencing nature and noticing its intricacies.
I think I need to work on connecting diverse disciples and taking action. Sometimes I am afraid to break out of my artistic comfort zone. Once I find a medium or image or idea that I'm interested in, I tend to stick to it. I need to work on branching out and taking risks in my art. I sometimes generate interesting ideas, but don't follow through with them because I doubt my capability. Also, it takes me a little more time than I would like to jump into a new project.
