Thanks for your input !
I understand there are lazy, uninterested people and I think surrounding yourself with likeminded, striving ad motivated people is helping you achieve great goals faster and more easily. But at the same time, many students are hanging around such peeps for lack of better choice, or because these are funny guys etc. And the only thing they need is an extra little push to drive them forward. I mean, art school can be huuugely expensive, and the one I was at, some were bleeding their way to the top, but some were just chilling out, coming to class whenever they wanted or even no researching and working the extra hours. And when you spend your time among the not so art driven people there, you can think it is normal for you and working already 80h per week for school and homeworks is enough. And thus, relying exclusively upon school teachers to get you a ...life.
And I like that you bring thee steemit crypto world as I think curiosity is what makes or break an artist (or anyone really). The more you test things and experiment the bigger your visual and non-visual (knowledge/XP ?) library is, and interesting your art can be. But this comes alongside school and not in the classrooms I believe ^^
Yeah, we cannot undo past things, but we certainly can learn from them ^^ And getting to know yourself is crucial sort of, and not giving up on things you love even if they may seem silly to others, for me it's my huge children's/YA fantasy books haha :D
Also the uni I went to had maybe 40h per week work first two years. The third year it would have been 80h and I realized I wouldn't have free time and energy to do what I love :) The minimum was 5 years for any sort of diploma so I wasn't even half done.
Yes totally agree, what do you mean by YA?
" not giving up on things you love even if they may seem silly to others" That's the most important thing I think, most all of my friends from highschool gave up on their dreams because "too difficult" or because they failed the 1st year of university. And that mentality is a waste of talent for me =/.
Yup.
Ya stands for young adult usually teens :)
