Ah yes it is true I am in college and I am studying Graphic Design and Art History. Why you may ask? Mainly because I enjoy both very much and know I wouldn’t hate my job every day. Over this past year I have had a series of four questions asked consistently; and here they are.
1: “Do you ever wake up hating the fact you wont be making a butt load of $$$?”
The answer to this is no. I think growing up I always knew I wanted to have a job because I loved it, not because it made me a lot of money. Maybe that’s weird I’m not sure. However, I enjoy art way to much to not have it in my life forever.
2: “So do you only like art.”
Although most of my classes will be art classes I will also have business classes and computer classes. So yes I do art more than the average college student but trust me I’m learning more skills than just drawing or recognizing a Rubens painting from a Jan Van Eyck.
3: *Friend points at art piece in public place* “What does that mean?”
One of the classic questions I get asked at least once every time we go out. Me being me though, I usually make up some BS overdramatic answer because I’m pretty sure I’m least the serious person I know. However, I love talking about art. I think too much.
4: “You’re creative, can you help us with this?”
The question I am asked the most, wether I am home or at school. I color, write and draw on a fairly regular basis so being asked this usually fairly relaxing. Even if someone is not an art major but you can draw or have any sorta of artistic ability, you will be asked to help with a “creative” project.
I know it’s been a while dudes, but I'm back. So be ready :)
