DENYING THE POVERTY DRAFT-THE SOLDIER AS A SYMBOL

=whitetrashpalace:iconwhitetrashpalace: reports, July 9
The Poverty Draft, Politics, Symbols, and the inconvenience of being human.

Even in times of war, the Soldier as an individual is of no consequence. The Soldier is a symbol, a simple pawn in a culture war. The Soldier is either a villain, or a Hero. The Soldier always serves for the honor of his country, not his paycheck. The Soldier is faithful, as there are 'no atheists in the trenches'. The Soldier is Combat Arms. The Soldier is male, he married a young white girl, and he has a baby on the way, whom he has never met.

The Soldier is a romantic ideal.

Why you should consider not going to an art school

=fthora:iconfthora: reports, February 15, 2008
Ok, this is quick :) I just read an article with 7 good reasons you should go to an art school. It was all very nice but we do forget I think it's art we're talking about. We're artists, people with a sightly more fragile soul and a more fragile inspiration I guess. As I already commented on the article, I think there's a chance you get lost along the way. Well, I can't really tell you why, and this is what makes it crappy, but I do tell you it's true. an art school also might make you a professional but maybe it won't. What's a professional anyway? Is it the person who relies on art as his profession, while an amateur is doing it for fun? Or does the degree and all the learning and making of you qualify you while the amateur has limited knowledge and/or therefore abilities? I think the professional we all know is just marrying his art. It can be true love, but maybe passion will begin to give away for rensponsibilities to take place, and because I don't want to mention ending I'd rather close with, you never know how long it's gonna last or how's it's gonna be.

But do take a shot with the art school I guess, you can't sit on your ass, can you? :P




I wanted to get this out quickly so this is propably incomplete, crappy, and I do not justify my words very well, but the whole thing is so messed up itself so I think I'm ok with submitting this :)

i never was taught art at all....but it is my full-time job, for many years
=Kazeyoubi:iconKazeyoubi: Feb 15, 2008, 6:18:16 PM
i have to disagree. art school helps you develop your skills and introduces you to new techniques and styles you would otherwise have not known about. i'm in art school, but if i get "lost along the way" as you put it, it's not like im going to regret going to school. learning art has developed my brain and introduced me to lots of new ideas and interesting things.

Art school is not universally beneficial, and all art schools are not the same. Art with a "capital A" is taught differently from illustration, graphic design, and so-called "Time Arts," which includes web design and computer animation. It's not just the training that's different, but the whole philosophy and goal for the work.

Artists with the "Capital A" are seeking a place in the rarefied and market-driven gallery world. The odds of punching through are slim. Illustrators and designers appeal more to the masses, and it's not easy, but it's still easier to make a living at it.

The vast bulk and majority of work posted here on DA is philosophically oriented toward the illustration/design side of the field. That's not a criticism, but a fact easily observed in DA galleries. Thus, people on DA going to an "Art School" with its emphasis on inner expression tempered by critical theory and art history resulting in work that is deliberately Postmodern, highly abstract, and/or aggressively conceptual may find themselves very unhappy. Those same people going into a more specialized illustration/design program will probably find themselves more at home.
