Yesterday I think I had the exact experience that Shane is always preaching to us about. I rejected something that was presented to me as art. I absolutely refuse to acknowledge it to be even loosely related to art. I won't name names but some people's final for digital was just disgusting. Not in the way that's "OH MY GOD that's so gross! I don't wanna look at someone doing that!" More in the way of "How dare you present this as a project."
Bitches need to step up. This isn't high school this is the beginning of you're career you idiot. I probably sound harsh and judge mental about this but it's getting quite ridiculous. Some of these people are just wasting my time. I'm here to learn technique and learn how to interpret art by being able to speak about it. If only a few of my classmates consistently create work where conversation can begin how am i ever going to be able to critique work in the real world? How am i supposed to understand different concepts? Along with the people who just slack constantly there are some of us who always make good work.
I'd like to think I'm one of them but my insecurity of my own talent does not allow me that luxury. I do know that even if my work doesn't match up to the best in my classes I do put all of my effort into it. And that counts for something I think. I'm sick of the same people putting up the same bad work. If we tell you every crit in every class that you need to get it together YOU SHOULD.
I want all of us to succeed! I really truly do! I think we all have the ability to get to where we want to be. However, the laziness has to stop somewhere doesn't it? If you can't even make work for school how the hell are you going to make work when it really truly counts? It's simple, you're not.
