Confessions of a Disappointed Art School Student

Thu Apr 3, 2008, 7:13 AM
Hello Everybody!

I have some explaining to do. For the past fall, winter, and spring I have attended Parsons School of Design in Design and Technology. I am extremely disappointed by the level of education I have received by the school, so I am transferring after the end of the semester to a school that will actually TEACH me what I need to know.

But the problem with what i've been doing over the last year directly impacts my artwork. I take 6 classes a week that are all 3 to 6 hours long and each class has about 20 hours a week of work. This should produce so much artwork that my page should be flooded with my work! But most of what i've been ordered to do has been web design and narrative-hardly things I can post onto my deviantart page.

I really really miss drawing, and painting, and all the fine arts I used to do, but I finish each day so exhausted I start shaking and halucinating. My health is suffering from this and sometimes I can't hold my hand steady enough to produce anything.

In short, thank you for your continued patronage to my page, and I will produce more artwork, just after May 15th:) Keep coming back and thank you SO MUCH for you understanding, and wish me luck for pursuing animation further in the next school i'm going to in the fall.

Awwww. Wow. Sounds so harsh! I've had it so easy it seems. But at least you didn't have to take GE courses on top of that, right? Please don't say you did, cause that would make me sad :(

But good to know you're transferring! Hopefully this time things will work out. I can't wait to see some activity in May! Have fun at your new school, okay? And maybe it won't be so much work and you can relax more XD

Good luck!

Glad to see that you're back, but I'm sorry to hear you're so frustrated with the school you're at. Are you transferring to another art school or a university with a good art program?
:iconladyshmi:
Yes. I'm transferring to the Academy of Art in San Francisco. They have an AMAZING program for animation, so i'm REALLY excited. Thanks for asking!

Alright then. Sounds like you got stuff in order. Good luck!
:icongloryinthedesertrain:
O: You're transferring to Academy of Art? YAY.

I've been looking into courses and possibly applying there, but I REALLY need to take an art class at school and get working on my art again. x__X
