Time into Art?? or Art into Time??


“It’s not about how much time you put into your art.  It’s about how much art you put into your time.”

                This means to me that it really does not matter how much time you spend on doing or making your art because no matter how much time you put into making or doing your art it can still be not as good as it would be if you were more into what your art is going to look like or be like. With worrying about the time of when your art is going to be or how long its going to take to do your art will possibly mess up your art. You could only be working on your art for ten minutes but because you were worried about how your art is going to turn out and not how long it might take you, your art at that time could possibly be the best art you have done.  I also think when you put in your head that it’s going to take this long to do my art then it’s really going to or even longer, then now you’re upset that it didn’t really work out as planned. When it’s something that you really like then I don’t think that you should really put a time on your art because it’s something you love so however long it takes you, it’s just going to take you that long. You could be working on one piece of art while also working on another and with you working on two pieces of art you might have the thought of putting them together, then that will take you even longer than what you expected. But because you were more into your art and not the time you now have a bigger and better idea and bigger piece of art. 

For example me and my best friend were working on a project in school and didn’t want to just have short videos but only had a certain amount of time. So we started our project and was so into it that we actually lost track of the time but didn’t hear anything from our teacher saying that we need to wrap it up. So as we’re filming our video we’re getting all the angles that we wanted and making sure the sound and white balance was perfect because we wanted to have the best film out of our class. So when we were done we went back in and made edits to the video and it turned out to be the best video done in the last two years of my teachers teaching. I think it turned out that way because me and my best friend got lost in what we love and put all of our art into our time instead of worrying about the time and how long we were going to take on it or how much more time we had and rushed it and our teacher understood that and was very pleased at the end.
