Go under resources and look at the pictures.... and of course look through the site...
So this is one of those things that I plan to do with Art. Not exactly. But as close as I can get to describing what I want from Art. I want to address issues that bother me, and affect the world in a negative way. Maybe I'm being idealistic, but I want to change the world.
I want to be satisfied with what I did while I was alive. I want to be on my death bed, and be glad that I managed to change something. I don't expect to turn the world upside down over night. I just want to make a positive change.
Some people may think change will happen through politics, get in the system and change it from within, but I don't think that will work. People give in to pressure, or they change so that they can get the power, and once they have the power they give up their ideals in order to keep that power.
You can say that it will be with Science, maybe find a way to produce mass quantities of food and vaccine to help third world countries. But people are still assholes, there will still be people that are left out. People that wont be helped because of political reasons, maybe because their cultures are too different...
I think what needs to change is the way people think about thinks. Maybe I'm just trying to validate my art major but I think that art CAN change the way people look at things.
And, yes, I know that Art is basically still for the Elite, and what do the elite know about helping others, and being self-less, right?
Well, I think that college students are the elite, whether they are willing to accept it or not. They have the power to change things, and for the most part the money (Let's face it, you need money to be in college). Again, I probably sound idealistic. But I do think that college students can change the world. But they need to hold on to their ideas. They need to accept the tragedies that come with living on this planet of ours, and still realize, that change can happen, and that they can be the ones to make it happen.
This is all just a rant... I don't even know what I wrote anymore... because my mind wanders like crazy... but this is the stuff I've been thinking about.... what my future is going to be about... and I just felt like putting it all down here...
[that means i dont really care if it made sense... but if it did... then... good :) ]
