Mapping your practice

Roadblocks - surprisingly universal!

Some of us at the Art Academy are going through a period of reflection and after finding ourselves having some free time to dedicate to our practice, we held a planning session to try to come up with some goals for the next year...

 

We looked at where we'd like to be in a years time, and chatted about different areas of our practice.

Short cake break then we all wrote down the things that we felt were stopping us. 

Then we played post-it-note-bingo and each added relevant notes to the last one which was stuck up. Turned out that despite being at different points in our practice and lives, they were surprisingly similar!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's some feedback from other members about how the session helped them...

 

Get Everything - Sara Nesteruk

Had a brilliant meeting at the Art Academy today, working on planning, goal setting - focus, some very interesting ideas,* incredible inspiration, and a clear vision, focus and -
well, loads of stuff for the film, the proposal, the approach - particularly looking at the first year, the year ahead (now) where I am now, what I want to do over the next 3, 6, 12 months, and beyond.

Loads of brilliant ideas - all to be digested, with cake, over the next few days and weeks. A great (visionary) starting point, or slogan, project, motto, or approach - for year one. - Below.

I'll post more ideas as they form, settle, digest and process.

A massive thanks to Morry - for all the wonderful vision, focus, inspiration and ideas, to Lisa, for organising, and to everyone there for a great event, loads of ideas and inspiration. (2)

* Questions - Some insightful, clear, and quite profound (and very simple, but important, questions)
(2). - Cake.

Next time we'll break down some of our goals into action plans, and start looking at ways we can experiment and expand our practice.

Here's the document we worked from if any of you fancy having a go yourselves!
