I’ve wanted to brush up my skills for a while and finally decided to take a class at Art Students League while my daughter is taking her art class for kids. It’s been a while so I felt rusty. But today’s 2nd class felt much better. Perhaps it’s like a riding a bike.
Your body remembers most of it.
I’ve gone to Art University. so I know how to draw. At least I thought so, but then again, I hadn’t done it seriously in a while.
so I was feeling iffy.
Am I doing a good job?
does this look ok?
so back to the basics, I’ll go take a few classes to feel the atmosphere and also brush up my skills.
Art Students League in NYC is great since you pay per month.
you can quit anytime and start anytime. no pressure there.
These classes are different from workshops. even if you only pay per month,
the expectation is that you would be around for at least a few months, so it’s going to take a few months to see the difference.
満を持して通います。
美大を出てるのに絵を書かなくなって久しくなるの。
いや、描くのは常にやってるけど上手になりたい。って最近思うのよ。
というか、私って描けてるの？
これってどうなの？
とモヤモヤしたものがあるのよね。
だから初心に戻ってしばらく教室に通います。
最近はワークショップばっかりだったから短期で効果がでるちょっとしたやり方を教えてもらう事が多かったけど、
クラスとなると先生も時間をかけてじっくりゆっくり教える感じよね。
何事もやり続けなければ効果が出ないんだよな。
と改めて思うのよ。
