Alright so Im a CS major thinking about switching to ATEC so Im doing the whole….take classes that count for both just in case right now; and Im enrolled in this art class. I never knew how bad I was at art. I just dont care about drawing or painting. I look at expensive paintings and think “ok somewhere, some little kid in a 2nd grade art class is making that exact same thing but no one will ever care” And I really hate how my lack of being artistic is reflected in my grade. Like I am being penalized because I am the only one in the class who has never sat down and painted on a canvas before.
The class does make me appreciate art more though. Some kids in my class have really made some amazing things that make you stop and think for sure. But just because I cant sketch I am fighting for a C in the class……which is major embarassing cause its a damn art class. The highest grade I got in the class was an 89 on a painting I did about 20 min before it was due. I was in awe. I was like “seriously? I spent 6 hours on a drawing I got a 60 on but if I make a crappy painting thats considered art???”
Thats one thing I do appreciate about this class though. Even though every class is based on grades you get on papers and hw and what not, it feels like this is one of those classes that judges your understanding of the material presented. I really just feel like venting cause I have this final assignment that involves 3 paintings and I literally SUCK at painting. My last painting looked like a kindergardener spashed paint on paper and sat on it and rolled around for a while.
I hate art……
