school | thoughts on art

Wed Jan 18, 2006, 1:18 PM
Art Requests: No..
Art Trades: Ocassionally.. ^^
Commissions: Yes, please visit my website for details and rates. =3

Mood: Plotting x3
Listening to: man of constant sorrow - soggy bottom boys <3

Started school yesterday, my first non military-provided class since high school. :heart: Which isn't too different because I'm taking them at Ft. Carson and my classmates are pretty much all Active Duty.. ^^ Plus the classes have been consolidated to be half as long to accomodate the average soldier's busy schedule. So I lucked out. xD

Anyway.. I got to thinking that maybe I'm wrong/stupid for not wanting to go to an art school like a lot of artists I know are doing.. like what am I thinking, trying to study medicine when I failed the first time around? I mean, I'd love to take painting classes and life drawing classes and God knows I need the practice, but the interest has been sort of diminishing.

It started to happen when I met an 18-year-old Marine who lost a leg and fingers and a lot of skin to an IED, the first person I took care of at Walter Reed. It's amazing how something like that touches you. </semi-rant>

*sigh* Sorry, I'm kind of in an ill mood. I need to go shooting again. ><;;

Aaanyhow..

:iconkojin-shinzui:
you gotta be happy with the path you take, and if you end up wanting to do both, do one then go back and do the other later in life ^^

Do you go to a military school? O_o??

In Soviet Russia, CD burns YOU!!
:iconneolucky:
In all reality, after going to an art college (Art Institute of Seattle), I soon realized that it's really an overrated thing to do. I messed up big time, taking animation when I should've just taken Illustration as my major, and now I don't even use my so called degree at all o_o;... If the passion is not there, then do not do it. Do only what you're passionate about, as that'll be the one thing in life that'll keep you goin' when everything else seems bland.
