The Theme Of The Year

Recently, my mind has been tortured by art. Not tortured, and not really by art. I exaggerate. (I also initially spelled exaggerate with two x's). Anyway, I have to find a 'theme' relating to landscape for art. I've done half of everything which I could have done to find that theme. A giant mind map has been produced, awkward discussions have taken place, numerous drawings drawn that I have labelled as 'distraction' and a lot of time wasted.

As I was saying to somebody today, I don't know why I put so much energy into art. I seem to put more of myself into the subject than anything else really. I've even...um, had to stop myself from going to the art classroom everyday. Dangerous stuff. If I spent more time than I did already, I must as well bring a sleeping bag and a food stock to the art block. Why don't I just make painfully shallow work with no meaning? But who am I to say that my work is deep and full of meaning..

On another note, project 2) has stepped up to level two. It's beginning to simmer. I'm excited, aren't you?
