We’re getting down to the nitty-gritty here, folks. As I’m
writing this, I can’t help but think I should be revising my capstone and/or
writing my last research paper for the other class; the latter I haven’t even
started. Hey, everyone needs a break, right?
A question that gets thrown at me quite often is what I will
do after I graduate. Well, I’m not 100% sure. There are choices, of course. I could
stay right where I am and pursue my own art…I just have to actually do it.
School slows the creative spirit a tad, but it’s also brought out a creative side
of me I didn’t know I had (or one
that I didn’t think I’d be interested in), which is fine art photography. It’s
an interesting medium. A photograph is like a Rorschach
test
in a sense because one sees different meanings in it. Maybe that’s true for
fine art as a whole, too. It’s hard to see past van Gogh’s starry nights, but,
once you do, you see a whole new world through his eyes.
I’ve
considered trying to get an online
adjunct teaching job in art history. I gotta tell ya, it scares me because it’s
out of my comfort zone. I also don’t have any teaching experience, which could
hinder things. But…I could try and
that’s the point, right? The way I see it, I’m trying to educate others about
the art world through this blog and my Facebook page, so why not actually teach a class or two? Professor
Weber has a nice ring to it, yes?
Working in an art museum has been a goal of mine for a
while now. I’ve found over the past several years it’s difficult to get your
foot in the door, at least for me it has been. I will keep trying that avenue,
too, because you just never know when they’ll finally say yes.
First things first, though: getting the degree in my
hands….
