Splitting into groups was definitely an interesting way of collaborating this week. I wish we could do it more often, even outside of class so there is no inhibitions or constraints of time. Although, I think I learned something I wasn't ready to understand... I hate my own conceptual ideas. I think that they, for the most part, are 2d, unconventional, and underdeveloped. However, I am really good at taking someone else's ideas and turning them into thought-provoking and making them more dynamic. I also learned something else... I don't take other ideas well. I mean I do.. but it isn't genuinely my ideas. I know that my art is coming out of other art (other famous art), but for someone to just hand me an idea to run with is just awkward. I feel like I will be pointed out or reprimanded for illustrating or documenting a piece of work I didn't even develop in the first place.
Anyways, I'm really worried about my piece. I have gotten a lot of great ideas, and I've been thinking about it for 2 weeks, but now it's getting late and I just keep shooting them down or are unhappy with the final way I'm going to orchestrate everything, or I don't have enough time, money, materials or competent help to give me the alpha-piece I've been waiting to create my whole life... I would rather put an end to my misery by drinking a flask of antifreeze before I settle on an idea or final cut I view as a failure.

so, what are you gonna do about your underdeveloped ideas? ideas NEVER come out of nowhere....ideas are birthed from other ideas, whether there is conscious intent or not. the whole context thing, man. whacha gonna do, huh huh huh???
