I'm not really sure how to start this one. Right now I'm studying for a test that I have no idea even where to begin studying. I basically failed the last test, because my teacher asked ridiculous questions like who was the architect that built the bathroom ceilings in the Sistine Chapel....I mean really? Is that something that I really need to know to be a successful artist? I don't think so. So here I sit trying very hard to study, when all I can do is Google who first decided to put cream cheese on a bagel. Which by the way to them I say thank you! But see it's stuff like that that distracts me. I can't focus on artists any more. I can't focus on ART anymore. Today when I was reading my Modernism and After text book, I was writing down the names of all the artists, and when they were born/died. I had a revelation at that moment. I think the reason I don't like art history, is because it's depressing to think that these people were probably the same age as me looking at dead artists thinking the same thing. I guess that's just the life cycle though. I hate thinking about that, but I don't want to be just a name in a textbook with a date next to it. I want to leave a really great mark on the world. Until then...I guess I'm just a photography student trying to pass a art history test in the morning...
wish me luck
