Art and Music

November 18, 2009

So today was interesting... At least in 2nd period, haha.

I was called out today in 2nd period art to go to a classroom to witness a lecture from a guest graphic artist. Hesitantly, I went to the class and kinda just sat there like "wtf" and then shortly was joined by 2 other people from my class.

 So this guy was really kind of awkward, but more into his speech he got more comfortable I guess and actually got me thinking about art as a future career.
 You see, I'm really not sure as to what to do career wise... I'm kind of caught between two things I really like. Art and Music. I actually want to be an elementary school teacher, and hopefully teach a music class there. If I don't do that, I at least want to study art. I'm ok, but I never really had formal instruction, so art is still something I'm more naturally talented at (I'm very new to the media, etc.) - I'm not very book smart about it. 
 Art is really really interesting though, there's so much out there for it, just like music. I just don't know what I will do... looks like this is something I really need to sit down and think about.

Any suggestions or comments???

XOXOXOXO ~ VB

Stay (sic) <3333 (:

    hun take shawn as ur inspiration his doing both. and im goign to study art myself. graphic design to be specific. i have never gotten ani formal training, practice makes perfect and its always good if u have the imagination but not the skills. u can always build up ur skills but never ur imagination. and if i were u id go to college for art but on the side i would continue with my music. chances of u getting a ligit job as an artist are higher but dont give up music. having more options are always good. and take as many music and art classes a u can <33

    Ja, tough choice. Hmm... I really don't want to aim you in the wrong direction with my always-wrong suggestions, so I'll just say that you should try them both out. After you've seen and experienced the basics of both, choose whichever you feel more attached to. Or... If you have the time, money, and talent, go for both! Music and traditional art go hand-in-hand. You can't go wrong with them.

    I've been in band since middle school... and I really want to study percussion in college... but right now I'm a very confused high school junior. In the end, I'm probably going to end up choosing music anyways. I might choose art as a minor in college though.

    if you want to study art, it only needs technique (a lot of), the rest comes by inspiration; and if you like music and right now you are a musician, just search for some help, once with the talent, the rest comes easier . . .

    so you're an artist? that's cool! I'm an artist when it comes to music! But when it comes to drawing and painting and stuff like that, I'm pretty basic and slow at it! hahaha
