    Hello! I'm Vivianne, I am a college art student, majoring in ceramics. I have always loved drawing, and this semester I have jumped into an intermediate figurative drawing class.

    I am nervous that my ideas/statements aren't to the level of some of my classmates...I can't seem to vocalize what my work is about and I'm having trouble generating ideas as it is. I have been doing well with the exercises in class, but when I'm given an assignment, I feel like I stay too safe. For example, our first assignment is "Adam and Eve" in a general sense. So the work just needs to have a woman and man. However, my composition ended up being really biblical, and it just does not feel like my voice. How do I overcome this??

    I feel like I have had this problem for a very long time, and I am doubting myself as an artist. I know I can overcome this but I'm stuck!
