I love the start of a new year because it is always like a new beginning and getting a fresh start. For me this year it means learning how to teach online and making those classes the best I can possibly make them.

I hope for you the student, that you can think of something that will be a new start for you. It can be so many wonderful things, like a new way of working, a new time schedule, a new art material, a new studio, a new style that you would like to achieve, it can be so many things but I would suggest to just come up with one thing, maybe 2 if you think you can keep things on track for achieving them.

I know the pandemic has forced a lot of people into new ways of doing things which for some was a bad thing but for others, it may have been a good thing. I want to take something that I feel may have been a bad thing and make something good out of it and I hope you all can do the same for yourself if you had to change something that you felt was a good thing turned bad. Let's see if we can't make 2021 a great year of new beginnings to start new things in your artistic life.

I would love to hear from you on what you feel you would like to add new to your artistic endeavors. If you tell me about what you want to do that is new, Maybe I can help or I can post on social media to find others that can help with whatever new things we are trying to achieve. I love working with my student art community as we all work together to achieve our artistic goals. 

I have put a group together on Facebook called BeckerArt Float-Your-Pigment Goal Achieving Group.  This artist group I hope will be members who want to help others in the group... to help everyone achieve their goals. I hope members will post their works and when others ask how they had painted them they could tell of their ways of painting. When a member asks a question I'm hoping others will chime in to help each other out.

 

Last year Linda Kemp gave me this idea about doing a group like this because she has her own negative painting group and told me it's a great way to communicate with other artists with the same interest.

 

Not exactly sure how you sign up or I invite you but here is the link if you want to join and start achieving new goals. https://www.facebook.com/groups/beckerartfypgoal 
I may have to send an invitation to people but I will try figuring it all out in future newsletters.
