Current and Projected Expert hours

Throughout my life I’ve taken many art classes since I was little. In elementary school, art class and arts and crafts time was required and I would assume that took up about 30 minutes a day for 4 years including summer, since I loved to work on arts and crafts.

In middle school, I took drawing and art classes. Those took up about an hour a day for 3 years, including summer.

In high school, I took a general art class, a pottery class, and a graphic design class. Each was during a different year, and including the outside work I did drawing everyday, it took up about 2 hours a day for 3 years.

My first year in college, most of the courses were every other day, so I took a drawing course that was an hour and 50 minutes long, a Visual Studies course that lasted an hour and 50 minutes, and a Visual studies seminar class that was about an hour long. Outside of class, I would assume that weekly, I would work about 25-35 hours on my school projects and personal work.

I would assume I have a good start on my projected 10,000 hours. College is in for about 30 weeks, 15 each semester. I would guess that I have about 4,000-5,000 hours done for my 10,000 hour goal.
