So my illustration teacher took me outside for a "talk".
Basically she was concerned that I wasn't my usual "happy self" with a "smile" ... Because yeah, it's more than just "hard" to pretend to be okay and happy in this department. I told her I was leaving Fashion Design all together, and she looked pretty surprised.
I told her I wasn't able to work within the work ethics I believe in, I barely get to work with a concept (which is how I prefer to work the time), feel restricted, and cannot see myself being able to function right in the department nor the industry. And most of all, I can't afford being in this department, financially.
She seemed disappointed.
Asked me if her class was the reason why I made my decision. ...Partially yes, and partially no. She told me I was talented and she could see me succeeding in the industry. My answer was "I don't think so."...
My current plan is to strengthen my concepts/ideas/presentation skills, then use fashion as one of the outlets... I'm gonna take evening classes for apparel construction/pattern making if I can afford to do so, and Karen already offered me that she can be my teacher/adviser/supervisor for any sewing/costume/garment projects I plan to do in Comm. Arts. I can't appreciate her kindness and generosity any less. She's amazing, and I'm gonna miss her so much.
