The Role Of Art

lol, so art, yeah... good stuff, I love it... been making it as long as i can remember, going to school for it at the moment, really fun stuff... What I had planned to do with my life.... but the role of art has changing in my life.... let me explain... but to do so we have to go back in time a bit... to the end of last year:

I wanted to study art at university, but also had intertests in anthropology, not wanting to be one of those students that pays first year tuition and then switches programs to repay first year tuition I applied to a specialized art program through a highschool in London. Well I got in, and thats where I am... I had also gotten accepted at all the Universities I applied to, Windsor (my first choice) even offered me a pretty sweet entrance scholarship... but I decided to do this free art program for a year first... to get some practical skills and to make sure that this is what I wanted to do.... Good thing I did:

I do not want to make art my career

I never really did
but I wanted to do something art related- teach art at a highschool level- which would be a cool job... but things have changed as of late... starting with this summer

towards the end of the summer I began feeling called to do a missions trip
within the first 2 weeks of attending my current art school I was saying "This school is awesome, but its not where I am supposed to be"
being 2 and a half months into this school I am now saying "I do not want to continue studying art after this year"

I am not liking the art world: They are sex obsessed and have a twisted sense of reality... and they are far to liberal for my tastes... I already knew this of course... but has hit me alot harder with being in art school- also I want to do something useful with my life... making things for aesthetics is probably one of the most useless things you can do... I want to help people

and so I have decided not to study art any further, I will always do art, but this is my last time taking it as my full time studies... I am thinking of applying to some sort of cross cultural studies in the coming year, after of course dropping out of thsi school after 3rd quarter to do a missions trip (still waiting on acceptance of my application).. and ya that is basically whats been going on... I was still playing with persuing art next year until recently... but no, i am done with formalized full time art schooling, I want to do art as a side part of whatever else I do- I do not want it to be the major part of what I do... basically that is what has been going on in my head as of late

peace, life is tubular: no matter what is going on
