The Strenghts and Weaknesses of Elli

Elli Panagiotopoulou


Like any other person, I have my strengths and weaknesses which make me the person I am today. I am extremely bad at getting my work done on time, especially when it comes to art pieces. I feel the need to perfect every piece, which requires me to keep adjusting certain things, requiring me to miss deadlines. I also have a hard time with people criticizing me, especially when I spend a lot of time and effort on my works. Another thing i'm really negligent about is painting, I never finish any painting, nor do I ever accomplish my goals when painting. I also get frustrated when something that I create does not meet my expectations or is fully done. I have a really hard time managing my time, I will spend an extended amount of my studio time thinking about what to do and how to create it. I am very uncertain about things and need some help and support very often. I mess up quite often and I need multiple tries to perfect a pieces


When it comes to my strengths, I am very open minded when it comes to art. I have no problem exploring different mediums like clay, charcoal, paint as well as different themes. Another of my skill is that I am very dedicated to my art, i'll put in a lot of work and effort into it until it is close to or perfect.  I am very dedicated to art.


My goal this year is to actually get a variety of works which I would be satisfied with. I also want to have a good clay piece, as I am very interested in that medium. I want to finish all my art pieces on time and end up this year with an A.

My brick walls are that I absolutely hate paint, painting pieces never seem to have an end, they require a very large enough time, effort, and layers to actually finish. My other brick wall is that I don’t have a lot of time to focus on art, I play a lot of sports and have a lot of after school clubs, which take up most of the time. I have to overcome those walls.
