Gathering Series - Creative Goals

Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.

~ John Dewey

Creative goals are what we craft them to be; from simply picking up the paintbrush again, buying that new camera or starting a new medium all together.  In this every changing world we live in, goals may get pushed aside because of daily life, but what if you take this upcoming year to see your goals achieved.

·      Set aside some time to write down things you wish to achieve. With that list pick the ones that either stands out to you as ones that you can see yourself working on. Choose 2-3.

·       They need not be huge projects, they just need to be some things that you feel you can accomplish within the time frame you give. You can give yourself the entire year to do them, you can set deadlines.

·       Once you have the goals in mind, give yourself the time to plan out how you will do things. This should create some excitement in what lies ahead for you artistically.

·   Research. Sometimes a little research into things can create the motivation to perhaps try new things or visit ideas you perhaps had already moved to the “things to do later” pile.

Whatever goals you wish, small or large, artistically or business minded starting to plan things out will get you just one step closer to reaching them.
