So, to me this site is a lost cause. I've really been drained from all drawing after I took my AP Studio Art class last school year. The course is an awesome course if you are an active artist with a flowing imagination, and it just wasn't for me. In the beginning I really enjoyed it and it really wasn't hard at all, we needed 2 pieces of art due in a two week period. To me my pieces are normally done in one day, only maybe 2-3 hours which is a very short time compared to how much time should go into a piece. In that deadline each piece had to have a minimum of 10 hours put into it, and for me that was really hard to do, I wasn't used to having a work of art demand that much from me and it just drained every ounce of motivation I had. By the end of the year I was failing the class. I was failing the only class I should have been excelling in. I couldn't finish both pieces in the time frame we were given and I often only turned in one of the pieces, giving me an F in the grade book right off the start since it was half the work, mind each piece was worth roughly 100 points. Nearing the last month of school I could tell that the quality of work was dramatically depleting, and my teacher could very much see that. I had an awesome teacher who gave me more than I could have ever asked for and more, he was more of a father to me in the classroom than a teacher, letting me get away with more than he should have. I ended up bringing my F up to a B and passed the class but since then my desire to draw is just gone. Sure every now and then I'll doodle but I have no motivation to create any finished pieces. So I guess the purpose of this post is to at least for now officially I wouldn't say abandon this site, but leave it at a stand still. I might come back to it in the future if my massive concrete art block lifts itself away from me but for now I'm going to start taking some pictures of everything I did in my AP Studio Art/Computer Art classes to fill the voids in my page but for now I do not expect myself to create any new art for a little while. Thank you for those who kept up with the page and I'm sorry for the disappointment and empty promises I generally wanted to keep. Sincerely, Kayla
