I started taking an art class and architecture class at a nearby community college. While it seems like an awesome idea, the art class is intimidating and somewhat scary. In other words, I have no idea what I'm doing in that classroom. To make things worse, I am surrounded by a bunch of "advanced" students, or art majors who are taking the class for fits and giggles. Sigh.
As much as it scares me...I do think this class will help me immensely. All the different supplies are expensive and probably worthless after this class, but at least I will know how to use them, or how they can be applied in the impossible case that I become a world renowned artist. I do think I will have a good time, at least when I look back on this class next year when I don't have to sit next to smelly hippies expressing their anger at the 1% by drawing banks on fire and inevitably judging my rudimentary sketches. Yes that's right, we have to present our drawings and take criticism. A presentation I am not looking forward to. Still, it is part of the process. Creating is always judged, and so being an architect (fingers crossed) will require the same type of presentations to clients/instructors. So it will be a good skill to hone.
In any case, wish me luck as I dive into the abyss of art and artists for a semester. Hopefully I will make it out alive.
