the fact that i prioritise blogging over studying for my art exam...doesn't really surprise me.
don't get me wrong, i love art. the creative side of it. painting, drawing...yeah, that's basically it.
but when i have to spend hours writing down my opinions on other people's artworks, only to be criticised on what i say, it seriously makes me re-think why i do the subject at all.
i have plenty of time to draw and paint at home. actually, i do draw and paint more at home. a year's worth of artwork done at school probably won't even amount to a quarter of the amount of things i come up with in my own time.
so why do i bother with the subject at school?
i'm not really sure.
i'm good at it, i guess. well i would be better if i tried. the thing is, art is so subjective that not only my works are subjected to criticism, but what i write about other works too. if i make a perfectly justifiable statement, i can be told that i am wrong. how? i'm not entirely sure, but it happens.
hence why i really couldn't care less about it all.
and why i'll probably drop it next year.
don't even try to stop me!
