If you know me, you know that one of my many visions in life is to create a world where artists stop procrastinating.
In January ArtReach will be doing another Grant Writing 101 workshop, with Paulina O'Kieffe, for their upcoming granting round.
Here's a sneak peek at the slides I will be presenting in January.
In Mario Kart, a milestone would be completing a lap.
Similarly, in a project (for example a stock photo project) a list of milestones can include:
In order to complete each milestone, we have a series of actions or activities that must be completed before we reach a milestone.
Right after check-in Catherine introduced us to the concept of muse and ego. With artists our muse is also known as our intuition - where we trust our instincts and create whatever is necessary in the moment. The ego often hinders the creative spirit of the muse by re-enforcing socialized norms and rules. The activity required us to be vulnerable, make eye-contact one at a time with other participants then bust out a movement we were feeling in that particular moment. We did this three times to three different songs and I realized my ego is hella dominant. Simply "going with the flow" and "trusting my intuition" was tough for me - I was afraid of embarrasing myself by making the wrong type of movement. Thankfully, we will be doing two more workshops in the upcoming weeks, so I can learn how to quiet my screaming ego.
