Creative Endeavors.

Tharpe makes a statement that really stuck with me. "Your creative endeavors can never be thoroughly mapped out ahead of time. You have to allow for the suddenly altered landscape, the change in plan, the accidental spark-- and you have to see it as a stroke of luck rather than a disturbance of your perfect scheme." This is a quote that I can immediately relate to. There are many times in the classroom when my go with the flow attitude comes to a random stop. I have no idea what I am going to do next. I think that at some point an artists plans there needs to be some planning and there are many times when I have absolutely none. Another issue is disorganization. Disorganization is not always a bad thing, but when extreme disorganization comes into play, there can be negative effects on the work being created. For example if I was extremely disorganized while using beads, the beads could easily look out of place and messy. Using organizational skills I was able to make the beads look neat and put together.
