Why am I here? What do I have to offer? What is the purpose of my blogging? Where am I going with this?
I had to reflect on these deep serious questions to give honest answers about where I am taking my blog.
Basically, I have been posting week by week what I do art wise and a little about those who create and interact with me and my products.
I'm here by assignment yes, but the question now is, will I continue when the assignment is over?
Am I more than an artist? Yes, of course. What else am I? What am I doing with my professional writing degree? How has posting my blog changed what I will do next?
HERE ARE MY BLOG GOALS
- Teach creative ideas (for personal and professional development)-allowing my blog to include written text, images and video. This is something that can remain personal or it might be shared with peers in a spirit of collaborative learning.
- Share knowledge with peers, customers, etc about innovative creations, new sources of information, new supplies and suppliers, research other creative bloggers to link with, etc.
- Collaborative and Guest blogging with peers, through building up of a body of knowledgable professionals in the artworld locally & nationally and reflecting on that knowledge by linking with other artisic bloggers.
- Announce and post events attended, giving others the ability attend various events via video, image posts, specifically traveling art shows, Craft events (like WEEMS, etc.), Museum exhibits, Gallery shows, etc.
I started working on the these goals this week by listing some new links to local art galleries, and asking some artists to guest post on my blog. I will continue to add links and content. I have also customeized my blog with a new background and layout that is more condusive to my artistic nature.
Now I will concentrate on adding followers to by tweeting, and adding my blog links to my website, facebook and other places I would like to advertise it. Up until now, I have not made this page public to anyone except my classmates.
