I Want to Be Great

The more I’m engaged with art and this school, the more I feel the need to step up my game. I’m finding that a lot of what I once thought was cool isn’t so much so… I suppose it could just be that others don’t see my vision. Or it could also be that I’ve got a lot more to learn.

I’m looking at the work of others displayed on the TV screens at school and envy them. I’m also noticing more pieces of artwork as I randomly peruse the internet. My eye is being trained to catch what’s beautiful and why it took a lot of mastery over the medium in order to achieve those results. I envy those artists, and I want to one day put out amazing work like them.

At the moment, I’m frustrated because I can’t match the quality which I know I am definitely capable of. My abilities aren’t catching up with my imagination. Practice makes perfect, I suppose. The best way to advance is to gain experience. I have to remember that all players start off as Lvl 1 Squires. To grow, you have to put in the hours and train your character on the battlefield. That’s really the only way to level up.
