Art Intstiute?
Ask anyone, in the 'sixties' being different,
being an individual, being creative
and having YOUR OWN ideas and
a willingness to try and invent new things, and new ways, and new ideas-
NON-CONFORMATIONISM was the great ideal of self empowerment
-to not conform-not be just another clone-
that's why everyone in the sixties all ended up looking alike and
dressing the same and further went on to birth...
political correctness.
ponder these things before entering your new school.
Allow them to teach you, inspire, give you the tools
to skillfully express your art.
But please, don't let them TELL you how to think like an artist,
don't let them sing their siren songs and make you
just another one of them-- be yourself,
do your art--be YOU- they're very clever - be always dilligent.
From experience i will tell you-I know artist who managed to
get schooled , who avoided the "culture" and did not
make the the social art world thier world- they've excelled
far above their peers.
good luck
