Hey Sheila, any movement on those drawings? I hope more than me.

My 2 cents- Have a friend go to court or the counsel with you, so you know and remember what is said. Even without ADHD, it is an emotional journey and things get lost or mistaken.

Now that you are done with school you don’t have deadlines unless you make them for yourself.

When I do get going I draw what I know or at least I have to start there to before branching off for a theme. So I start with drawing ‘the anxiety of being an artist with a deadline’.  Like so many artists I end creating what I know – I use paper to convey that information and my work is figurative. Me going crazy.

I always have to get that out of my system, how ever large or small first, and I don’t have to complete it – just get started on that, and then my ideas for a deeper theme or development of meaning of the painting/drawing comes. The underpinning of the visual.

I over-prepare for art. I over-buy materials and over clean up. I sometimes don’t need to organize my space so great as to get it out of sight. The organization never really last that much anyway. (But mentally it does get in the way – I understand the need)

I love pen and ink too. Are you using sharpies/ or pen nibs/  colored ink.

So Sheilabridget,

How’s it going? What were your final art pieces for your BA about? What material used?

I can get stuck with graphite on smooth Bristol board forever.

I understand that the medication might not last so it’s important to bring in therapy to help organize one’s life – then when and if the medication fails you have some system in place.

Or at least this is my theory. So every day with medication is also a day with therapy (kind of )

that’s the only way I can see my life getting better – hope yours does too. .

yes! congratulations on getting your BA in Art – now what? haha. I have one too. On getting work done,  Deadlines are great for making it happen. Join a show, a group gallery or organization that puts on shows. then you have support and a deadline. great combination.

hard to focus on a body of work without that deadline. it just doesn’t seem to happen ahead of time but then that is the frontal cortex as Barkley says <blockquote cite""> The individual’s impairment of response inhibition manifests itself in four areas of functioning: . . . (4) reconstitution-the ability to break down observed behaviors into component parts that can recombine into new behaviors directed toward a goal.<cite>

So we have to work against that – or do art concerning it.  Whatever works, I guess.  Do you have a theme that you have developed already in school for your work?
