i love being the outcast. it's what i strive for. :3

I don't strive for it, but I'm almost always the outcast because of the things I like. It's the curse of being a nerd in a hole-in-the-wall Texas town

Art colleges are getting more into the comic scene, so I think you'd do okay.

But it's not an "art college", it's a stuffy little state university. :/

Well, today at work was...ok. A bit frustrating in the morning, because they wanted me to move some really heavy tables by myself, only for somebody else to have already done so by the time I got a big enough cart up there to move it with, but aside from that, it was decent.

Also, I'm feeling really goofy right now

.....@bella: *slaps*

my god. you just managed to dump on half of my identity here. you don't think manga and anime are 'real' art. HAVE YOU SEEN A FUCKING MIYAZAKI MOVIE???

i managed to get into art school with a portfolio of mostly 'anime' style work. doodles, comics--one of my entries was a crappy sharpie picture done on the side of a windows ME desktop computer. AND THEY LIKED IT!!!
you know what your issue is? it's not distance, or living conditions, or degrees, it's YOU. YOU are your own saboteur here, because YOU are the only one who can really decide your future. not the college people, not your family, YOU. and if you really wanted this, you'd find a way. as you said, i managed to find more on museum degrees at UNH in 2 minutes than you did in your entire search, AND ALL I DID WAS FRICKEN GOOGLE IT!!!

you said you need someone to give you a push. i'd say that was me, but when it comes down to it, it's all you. i can't force you to do anything you don't already want to do.

(also, they don't care what kind of art you do at my school. me and my friends all plan to be some form of comic artist, and we all made it in--with scholarships!! they care more about dedication than sheer talent. the fact that you're willing to spend hours colouring one pic on the computer speaks volumes about you, regardless of the art in question.)




@pentium: hope you didn't hurt yourself on anything. lifting more than you're supposed to can really mess you up.
@acher: welcome back!! and i think that pic describes most of us here, lol.

Kari dear, have your vision checked. I wrote that I fear the admissions people at PSU wouldn't accept manga/comic/cartoon-style artwork as "real artwork". Even with a more traditional style of art, I probably wouldn't be able to make it past the auditions; they have fairly stringent standards for who is and isn't accepted into the program. Of course, actual art schools like the one you attend - not weird, backwater, state-run liberal arts universities - are more open to contemporary forms of art democratic with their programs, accepting both traditional studio artists, cartoonists, comic and manga artists, digital artists, etc.

[Chocofreak13]

you won't know untill you try.

[Bella]

Yeah I kinda do.

Basically, if you aren't a studio artist involved with painting, life-drawing, ceramic design, sculpture or printmaking, you aren't going to make it into the art program there.

Also, i just found out PSU requires 8 credits of foreign language for any BA degree. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

@Choco: I didn't hurt myself at all, mainly because somebody had already moved the tables by the time I got back up there with something to move them with.

As frustrating as it was, it did save me the trouble of nearly injuring myself...and wasted just enough time to keep me from getting off as early >:3

[Chocofreak13]

@pentium: heh. better to seem busy than not. xD

@bella: anyone who's willing to give up so easy doesn't belong in the art field. maybe you should consider online college.

As I've stated before, there's only one art I'd consider making a career out of or studying at a university level, and that's photography.  I'm sure that, no matter that job I end up with, I'll be using photography to supplement my income - I don't plan on ever profiting off my other arts.

then tell your family that, and don't try to define art again. it's too diverse to fit into a single definition.

also, museum program. online college. yes?? :\

When did I try to define art? I was listing the art programs that PSU offers. >_>

Online colleges are a complete ripoff, you learn half as much at twice the price. No thanks.

[Acher13]

I'm no good with arts.. I'm just a critics but I do have eyes on whats good.
T^T

[stewartsage]

Whoa whoa whoa, calm down ladies.  We don't need another crusade about defining abstract quantities.

So a couple of things:

1) I go back to school tomorrow
2) People are crazy panicked about a category two hurricane.
3) I forgot what I was going to put here.
