I haven’t done much since my first post but figured I’d show my progress on this drawing anyway.

I also wanted to state something that has been wearing me down. I take a lot of slack from friends, family, and other people about being an art major. “What are you going to do with an art major?” “Isn’t that just silly to spend all that money at college to draw?” While people think this I say to them the same thing. “What are you going to do with an English major?” etc….
You need to open your eyes to the world. Art represents a rich heritage and is a unique way to know about the world and its cultures. When exploring the past or even present, one looks towards art. Art is responsible for shaping our lives. Turn on the television, stroll down a supermarket aisle, watch a movie– and the one thing always present is art. We read, write and do arithmetic nearly every day, but we see art all the time. Art is part of our ceremonies, celebrations, and worship. Art is basic to our lives.
Art majors are well rounded individuals unique to this world. We don’t worry about making major bucks because that’s not what is important in the world. It is not an easy college degree either, we don’t spend our days drawing. We’re in literature classes, history classes, and many other classes, for an artist isn’t complete without knowledge of the world. I say to all those people who get engineering degrees–you are taking the easy road to life because you fail to see the point of life itself. I too can design bridges and sculpt roads, however I’m more inclined to do so aethetically better then just a concret slab across a serene river. Remember Leonardo Da Vinci, wasn’t just an artist but an inventor way ahead of his time. Disregard art and you hender our future.
