Copy of comment on another students blog: (ACAD design etc.)
There is more to life than what other people think.
I hope the showing of my "golf art" project, today in interdisciplinary madt, inspired your post.
The ACAD design side is a strange phenomenon. I mean, it's great that they are one of the best around and that most of those students will find prosperous jobs. But at the same time…I don’t really care at all. Maybe I’m a little bitter about getting rejected? You see, I’ve always been at the top of things that I do so it was a tough pill to swallow. I knew that I didn’t take the mandatory “colour fundamentals” class but I thought that they would still want me. I can draw like anyone and am a bottomless pit of ideas. It was probably the written portion of the submission that did me in…(or the fact that I built my portfolio case) I must have showed too much potential for free thought and someone judged that I was not right for design. That’s cool…I’m not bitter…I know that I’m now on the right path. I used to think that my mind was too “engineer like” to become a real artist. Screw that noise…there is plenty of room for rational thinking in new media art.

Hi Ryan
I think that would be a great idea of we can come up with some ideas about it, because after reading your post, I guess I myself am somewhat thinking in a similar way as you do
for me my ways of thinking has changed since I first entered college, I guess I would say that I have matured since then. I mean I do love what I am doing now, and I am loving the work that I do as an artist, I mean when first started college I got sucked into the whole visual communications thing, and now I have I guess you can say "Matured" from that
I agree with you that there is more to life then what others think, because I believe that if I actually did care, I would have done what every parents want there kids do to and stay away from the art side of life, to go be a doctor, or a engineer or something I dont really see myself doing
my art for me is my own way of breaking away from whole VC side of things, to do art for myself because I want to and nobody else.
I think that we should have a chat about this, because I believe that some of the words that you say is very interesting, and share our views on the topic of stereotype and labels, i think our ideas that we come up would be quite interesting
