Seriously, why the hell do people obess over such things? Even more so, why the hell do people get angry over it? Lately all I hear is "OMG I so-and-so likes me and I like him, but now he's leaving but still wants to be together but now I hate him for still wanting to be together" X.x;;... Someone try to explain that to me, please? Because I appearently don't understand the language of airhead idiocy. Let alone the fact that people who whine about being 'lonely' because they have no 'significate other' have no actual common sense to me, or self-esteem for that matter.

Also my art class is making me rather bitter. Which was partially why I didn't want to take an art class to begin with. Because the teacher appearently doesn't really know the true meaning of 'art'. Instead all it is is just having to make random pictures in styles that we extremely hate. I don't believe art should be forced into a certain style. It's like taking a thristy horse to a river and force it not drink anything, or just a certain amount. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind to an art teacher is probably abstract stuff that supossibly represents that artist in some way. Basically if your 'peice' has no depth feeling, you can't call it art. Well dammit, I like to draw what I want to draw. I don't want to follow any style that some European guy made just because it's famous. I want to follow my own rules. It comes to show you that even with the most freest(?) skill to have, there is still stereotypes and appearently limits

And that's why I don't think art should really be a class, more rather self taught. However, there is a fine line between a class and just pointers/advice. However, even I try to improve by looking at some other styles, maybe see something in preticular that I might later use a basing. But I would consider that self taught because one, you take your own time to do it, and two, it's not a direct style after you finish(unless, you absolutely want to O.o). Even if there was a special style that was 'flavorful' to you, you surely would have noticed it LONG before you took a class. Same goes for if you want to paint, charcoal, clay, regnew, you SHOULD have had the enough knowledge to know if it's a favorite of ours. As for me, paint and charcoal smeres easily (not to mention messy as hell), I suck at 3d models, and I personally think crayons, markers, and colored pencils ruins pictures and make them sometimes seem like 3rd grade show and tell projetcs. So I'll stick to plain pencil art/computer editing, thank you very much.



Oh yeah, I got addicted to Broken Angel.. Who would have thought that turning lamposts and signs into spears/lances and swords (and large cannons =P) to slice up mutant animals and bandit people would be so... entertaining XP. Still playing Arcadia a bit though, heh. Both are addicting acutally right now..

Abstract art is art for those who can't draw, seriously, it's probably the only reason I'm going to pass the 2D art class I have this semester. I could not even draw a straight line if someone was holding a gun to my head, yet I'm quite good at associating my emotions with color and desultory blotches.

We currently drawing grayscale trees in adobe photoshop 5.5 though, which I'm not too grand at seeing as we must free-hand the tree first. It is going to end up looking like a silhouette more or less which rather irks me considering merely copying the image of a tree doesn't show much other then you're good at copying.

Ah, well, she said we're going to make another tree which we're permitted to use effects on thus I'm going to freeze the entire thing only add streaks of dark red to indicate the bitter irritation I have for those around me at school. [It's not supposed to be an emotional project but sh]

Well, think of it in this way.. a life time is a very long time.. you got 90 or so years on this planet..(if your lucky, unlucky depending on your veiw point) who are you going to spend it with? Friends and family only go so far, and talking with yourself forever gets boring.. but thats the way I see it.. have yet to meet a girl that understands that... but when I find her, it will be worth the wait... atleast thats what I tell myself.. just cuz you like someone doesn't mean you go instantly to airheaded mode ya know.

Blaaaah.. art is EVERYTHING.. people regard nature as art.. and anything man made had to be designed .. so techincally thats an art too. A peice of trash could be art... thats why you see it sometimes in some art studios. Just have fun with it and don't take it so seriously. The only rule in art is to break all the rules ^_^. Thats what I love about it.

... bah


Actually supposibly I ain't the only person who really hates that teacher. Probably for other various reasons, but most people say that she makes a bad art teacher. So it isn't just me, blarghness
