I used to not think I required much in terms of a studio space. I'm good at improvising and using what's immediately available. I think that being in new spaces and atmospheres is good as a stimulant, so I should always make an effort to get into new situations of creation. However, I have found that certain conditions improve my productivity in major ways. I believe that over time these requirements or preferences will evolve, but that I should definitely try to develop these kind of spaces to work in whenever available.
conditions:
-complete control of audio, visual, and personnel variables.
-I like to have different things happening in the studio most of the time that I'm working. These include mainly music, podcasts, soundcloud mixes, or movies, and sometimes people. So speakers, a computer, wifi access, and a projector are awesome. I usually work best when alone though. Having complete control of these variables helps a lot.
-ability to close myself off from the external world without unwanted interruptions.
-locks and personal keys are ideal. I can have who I want visit when I'm open to it and don't have to worry about weird vibes in the studio.
-big space
-I like to move around a lot and not feel cramped. This also allows me to make a greater variety of pieces
-well-stocked with lots of different things
-having a versatile storage of different tools, materials, and spaces really helps me in exploring different avenues and combinations of making.
-freedom of space interaction
-I need to be able to draw on walls and break stuff.
-all hours access
-separate from sleeping place
-having a bedroom/studio is depressing af
-adderol
-I've found this helps me with productivity more than anything else.
-whiteboard
-Sketchbooks or notes are good but whiteboards help in a different way for me.
-outside access
-I need to feel very separated but be able to get out
-decoration
-I need to have all my favorite things around me

30 day commitment
I took 5 min out of each day and closed my eyes and listened to what was going on around me. I documented everything in my journal on my phone and dont know how to get it copied over. But the main point was to take time out of my day everyday and wright it down.

This is a Commitment - Isabelle Burge
Unfortunately I was not able to find the rest nor make more.
My commitment was to read a chapter from Fablehaven a day and draw a scene or more from that chapter.

Personal Manifesto #2 - Brianna Borst.
What I believe -
Time is valuable. Not to take things for granted. Take good notes. Learn from many. You're allowed to say, "no." Be completely comfortable with the decisions that you make. Experience new adventures and ideas. Love life. Love you. Love others. Be kind. Be yourself. Always forgive. Give people many second chances. We all make mistakes. Take risks. Immerse yourself in happiness. Surround yourself with good individuals. Meet new people. Make new relationships happen. Traveling gives you a new pair of eyes + a bigger heart. Fall in love. Enjoy the scenery. Look up. Sometimes your friends drive you crazy and you just need a break from them, don't fill bad about it. Make stupid mistakes, but learn from them. Relax. Breathe. Do yoga. Meditate. Exercise. Eat well. Drink lots of water. Make connections. Have fun. Make others happy. Be spontaneous. It's okay to be sad sometimes. Know you're never alone. Always ask questions. Take lots of pictures. Write down memories. Talk to people you care about on the phone. Write letters. Spend time with people you like. Sleep is vital. People are the best and the worst. Smile and laugh as much as possible. Sometimes boys are stupid. Sometimes girls are stupid. Some teachers make the difference in your life. Communication is everything. Swim. Surf. Run to clear the mind. Love your religion. Keep the faith. God is good. People are put into your life for a reason. Be inspired. Love love. Hate is a trap. You work hard to get the good grades. Push yourself. Everything will work out in the end. Paint. Draw. Sculpt. Just make art. Wear cool socks. Athletic clothing is the best. Converse are the best shoes. Know that you have potential. Use your talents. Sing. Dance. Kiss. Hug. Live by ocean. Soak in the sun. Go hiking. Enjoy nature. Feel the rain on your face. Make good food. Read. Watch movies. Listen to music. Good vibes are forever needed. Make bonds with special individuals. Only certain people make the best kind of friends. You choose what you become. Culture is amazing. Speak Spanish. You are beautiful. Good conversations are remembered by feeling. Be a dreamer.

Creative Future - Brianna Borst.
How has your brain changed?
In other words, what have I learned in this class?
To love the way others think.
That time can be used as and for the means of art.
To focus on the process of making.
That not everyone likes the same things, and that's okay.
Art is everywhere and in everything.
Teamwork helps progression.
Learning from others = new ideas.
Repetition is good.
Do what you want, not what's common.
Try and try again.
Research art and artists.
Go to museums.
Collaboration is needed.
Expound and write out your thoughts.
Make meaningful art for yourself.
Your art makes a difference to someone.
Always explore the unexpected.
Enjoy the process and the surroundings.
To appreciate everyone's differences.
Discover new projects through others.
Look at things differently.
Not to filter.
You win some, you lose some.
Take a breathier once in a while.
Breaks are good for the brain.
To never give up.
Involve yourself with the beauty around you.
What does it look like five years from now?
Professionally / Personally?
Professionally -
Let's just start off with, I don't know where I want to go career wise, which could either be a good or bad thing. I know I what a degree in art by this time. All I know is, I want to make a difference with my art. I want someone to be touched and changed. All the arts from the past made a movement and had the audience feel and see or define such emotions or ideas or questions. I want to have this kind of impact. I want to see if I could teach and make art in other countries for causes that better the world.
Personally -
By now, I want to be refined in many mediums and continually practicing more techniques. I want to be happy with what I create and if not, don't give up on it. I want to make more time during my weeks to do what I love. I want to share with others. Lastly, I want to do what's best for me, not for others.
At 50?
Creative life, what it looks at this age?
Works sold and shared.
Ideas and teachings passed on to loved ones, student, and friends.
Works made in my own art space.
Settled with a family.
Still being able to travel.
Working Artist.
Game Plan?
What goals I need to accomplish?
Graduate from Snow College.
Practice what I was taught in my art classes.
Earn a job.
Save money for materials.
Go to graduate school (USU) and earn a degree.
Research out-of-the-country opportunities.
Travel.
Not wasting time doing something that doesn't better myself.
Expand my mind limits.
Collaborate with other artists.
Breathe.
Work hard.
Be honest with myself and others.
Make sacrifices.
Fall in love with the art that I create.
To never put myself in a state where I'm unhappy.
And if so, use art as an outlet.
Just do it.
Take action.
