artsy fartsy
i need somewhere to vent about a few things relating to my so called "higher education". i have found myself generally opposed to the four year college system as half time wasting and only partially edifying, but my gripes are more narrowly suited. art education, seems useful and sometimes even noble (a bit) but a degree from my university in this subject is nothing more than a soul killer. not only are most of my core classes taught by grad students, but those that are taught by professors (bar one) are nothing more than a self gratifying romp in repetition. this will probably mean nothing to anyone who will glance past this but i need to lay down a few beliefs I have about art to renew my faith in it.
-art is not sacred.
-art is for everyone in some capacity.
-art history and art are intertwined.
-famous artists are only famous by accident. there is no such thing as high art.
-pop art died with andy warhol, get over it.
-contemporary art is more about bullshit than talent.
i think that will keep me going for awhile.
p.s. i am alive if you can believe that.
