The Dilemma

Art School

VS.

Evolutionary...Psychology...Anthropology?

Round One!

But seriously, here's an excerpt from my personal journal, which in time may just become my blog, that is if I can really give up the feel of freehand:

I'm keeping in mind that my enthusiasm may be inspired by an outside source and that has gotten me into a lot of trouble before. If only there was a tried and true method to figure out what Brandon wants to do with that life of his...

On my way home, I stopped at Funny Papers, but no new books today, because the holiday on Monday pushes back national shipping dates. While I was still in a shopping mood, I stopped in at Blue Velvet and got yet another vintage t-shirt. On my way out I picked up and AMOA art school catalogue!

This brought up my artistic longings all over again and I'm even considering putting money down for a class. The only one that I really want though ended on the fifth; the other one [I'm remotely interested in is] a Life-Drawing boot camp, which sounds fun, but isn't worth the money for just two days of instruction.

It would be nice to get some formal training in drawing before committing myself to a program or even begin considering moving for art school. What if that alone would satisfy my artistic longing, leaving me open to pursue my more academic interests concurrently? That would be ideal, yet I don't know if it's accurate to what's in my best interests [whatever that means!]. I never officially swore the role of student off, I was just sick of it. But after a year of no school/no student status, it's beginning to look appealing again, especially if I can get behind it, be motivated...

You see, that's my problem: Lack of motivation, or perhaps it's a lack of inspiration. Actually, it may be that one leads inevitably to another and it only takes a little bit of each to really accomplish anything worthwhile.
