Monday
On this day we shared our proposals for our final project with our small groups to get some sort of feedback. I was unprepared and I didn't really have all 3 of my artists down since I was still in the brainstorming process. We also turned in our sketchbooks to as well. Class was cut short on that day so we got out early.
Wednesday
We had our final field trip at the McColl center in Uptown Charlotte. I was a little confused finding the place but eventually I found it. The place was quite interesting. It used to be a church until they converted it into an Art exhibition. On that particular day, I think they were showcasing Mexican artwork since they were practically everywhere. It was nice to see all the pottery and embroidery of the Mexican culture. The place was quite small but I believe the place also has programs or classes you can take if you're interested. It was definitely a great experience to be there.

When we think of the word "Success," we automatically assume it's something positive because of the connotation. Depending on the person, success is valued differently and the outcome varies. To some people, they believe the key to success is to gain recognition from the public where as others see the key to being successful is by becoming social to gain ideas and influences. As an artist, you'd want your art to be seen and known but by creating art just to strive for recognition isn't key. To be content with yourself as an artist, you should focus on your work itself and put aside fame. People shouldn't lose faith in their ability to develop original concepts fearing the potential of no or less fame. Happiness and success should really be about being able to do and be what you want to.
