Burnout

I've been taking AP art this year in school, and it's certainly something. 

On one hand, I've always been able to do art when assigned, forcing myself to create something no matter what. Good training, especially for a class like this. Ironic, considering that I have a hard time making personal, finished pieces.

On the other hand... I really fucking hate making art this year. I find it hard to actually come up with ideas for pieces, this year especially. I have little motivation to actually make the art itself, one way or another. I've had a hard time enjoying art.

I should've seen this coming. School is infamous for taking any subject you may have previously liked and utterly ruining it for you, draining out any and all happiness you may have had for it. And I'm taking an AP course for it, so it's now doubly worse!!

It's spread to my other parts of life, specifically personal art. I've always been slow with personal art; always sketching, but not really finishing something. The amount of finished personal art pieces I've made in the past three years can probably be counted on one hand, so not good. 

Maybe I should try something new? Like, make a comic instead of just art pieces (never done it before lmao)? Maybe that'll help with burnout? I don't know.

(sorry for the vent-y blog, i just wanted to post something to prove i am not dead LMAO)
