So it has come to my attention that after three years of practicing photography and developing my own ways of creating photographs through professors "projects", I've come to the conclusion that ART IS HARD. I was a little naive going into this degree, believing that my "talents" could get me by in school. I have been tested continuously by my professor, to see if my work meets his standards. I come out of the class with a B average, which is decent, but I want to be one of those students who has their works glorified by pasting it up on the gallery wall of the photo department for a week. I'm waiting my turn, but I believe it wont come until I can fully devote myself to this art. I find myself making better photographs outside of class, on my spare time, where I have more free time than usual. The combination of unnecessary credits and art classes don't really mix well. I am stuck studying geography when I should really be putting time into my fiber prints for my final project. It's like being caught between fighting parents over who ate the last donut. So what, I ate the last donut. Let's just not fight over it. |
