There are so many things, art-wise, that I am having trouble learning myself. Drawing perspective correctly, for instance, baffles me. I am wonderful at copying details of a single item or two, but the mathematical spacial whatfuckingever components of placing several items in perspective in a room have got my mind going in circles. This has got to change! What will I do with myself? Explode, probably.

I feel like this so often. But then there are so many people who warn against it, saying art school is a "waste of time that will crush your intrinsic creativity and natural love for art."
ReplyDeleteI don't know who to believe.
When you were going to school what was it for?
I really think you need to have intrinsic creativity AND instruction to be a really good artist. If learning the technical part completely crushes your creativity, then maybe you just weren't creative enough to start with. But I don't know. I was majoring in art when I went to school, but I only made it through about 1.5 art classes before dropping out, so never got too far into the difficult stuff.
