Deep In Thought

Tue Jan 29, 2008, 12:26 PM
Pondering

Well i dont know whats up but im not sure about art anymore. Im near the end of the 1st VAA course and something is not right, whether its desire or something else im not sure i can continue to create art. I think i binged on art when i used Apo and whilst i can appreciate nice art im not sure i wanna create it!

I have felt like this for a few weeks now, i dont know what it is but im just not getting much enjoyment out of it anymore! Somthing is just not right, maybe its got something to do with the full time hours im doing now but i just cannot be bothered with it anymore and i cannot force myself to make art.

Ive already paid for the 2nd vaa course but thats my tough luck, im still having problems with my hand but i dont think that is the main reason for my lack of interest, its something more deep than that and i cant figure it out, either way i cant see myself making art for much longer if i feel like this!

On a side note i have my 1st Physio session on thursday, im not too optimistic as i still think its a nerve problem! I have to give it a try though and its free so...!

Anyway enough rambling now, keep making great art, just cos im not enjoying making it does not mean i cannot enjoy looking at your art!

Nick

It will really be sad if you stop what you are doing... I love your work its absolutely beautiful... Maybe you just need some inspiration... Maybe teach someone what you know I dont know I'm just rambling... Your just a talented person maybe you just need a break from it all... Just know that there are alot of people here that would miss your work tremendously like me lol... :hug:

Could it be anhedonia (a symptom of depression)? I know you've been having trouble with depression, and honestly I get the same way. Taking a break helps sometimes, and I'll definitely understand if you want to, even if others don't--like I said, I get the same way. :) In any case, good luck to you. :hug:

:wave: Nice to hear from you, Nick. I agree with fanficbug, I get that way, too. Take a bit of a break and then come back. Don't give it up completely. You are too good at your art to do that. :)

Take care and good luck with the physio sessions. Hope they help. :heart:

Hang in there Nick. As regards the second course, if you've paid for it, just simply download the lessons each week. Don't worry about doing any assignments. That way you'll have the information for future reference if you want it. That's what my Dad did.

There's no need to make art if you're not up to it right now. No pressure, no stress, no guilt. Enjoy other's work, and in the future, if your desire returns, you can join in again. You can only do what you can only do. That's the bottom line.

I hope your hand feels better soon.

take care of yourself,

We all have creative slumps now and then Nick... mine has been going on for a few months now, but eventually I'll snap out of it and get going again... I always do... lol!

Keep yer chin up mate!

You've had a lot to worry about lately, Nick. Don't get too despondent about a slump, everyone gets them from time to time.

You could just download the lessons from the second course and not participate but you might also want to consider asking if you could delay taking it because if you decide to carry on with UF you'd get a lot out of Janet's feedback and comments to you and to the other students.
