7 Observations for the Rejected

.

Ever been rejected?

One of my fifth grade campers tried out for something and she was not accepted.  

My heart aches for her.

 .

I remember trying out for swing choir in middle school.  

And guess what?    I still hold a bit of the sting.     

Instead of singing with the choir, I was asked to by the director to be the narrator  (MC).

Now, is this a case of one thing not being like the others?

Am I such a ham or was my pitch just awful?

 .

So busted, dumped, flunked.   Where has it gotten me?

It’s taken me around the bend on the path of self-discovereeee

Following the twists and through the forest, 

I landed smack dab in the open field of my real true thing.   

 .

7 Observations for the Rejected

 

1            Some rejection is formative.

2            Accomplishment may take some work.

3,            Practice gives you more information

4            Putting a frame on it changes it’s meaning.

5            Building a portfolio is a mindset.

6             What you want is still seeking you.

7            It’s your time and skills to develop

. 

If you ask twice, I’ll stand up and sing I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy with comedic timing.

Marketing Art Classes: How to pick the right image

A few things go into picking a photo for my newsletter.  

 I’m wondering if you can guess why I chose this first picture over the others?

 

 PICTURE 1

This one was the winner!   Look carefully.   What does this picture say?  represent?  show?  

.

.

 

PICTURE TWO

This pic describes the studio vibe — happy , engaged and a  little silly.   

Although there are more boys in the picture,  the first thing you notice girls

Also, we don’t see any quirky cool art being produced.

And I’ve remodeled the studio this year and moved the shelving out — so this is now old school.

The look of Art Yowza studio is now a little more retro-modern zen instead of rococo.

PICTURE THREE

We get to see a least two new things:  learning and location.

The kids were interpreting Egyptian hieroglyphics during Around the World Camp at the Park.

.

.

 

PICTURE FOUR

There are a lot of friendships made at Art Yowza.  

This team might have just finished a puppet show.

Here’s a fun way to become a marketing maverick.

So, what qualities do you think make PICTURE ONE my winner?   Give me three reasons in the comments.

(I’ll e-mail you my criteria list after you’ve risked a guess)

Thanks for playing!
