*CollegeLets talk abt college! For me, I went to the University of Rochester(liberal arts college) from 2017-2021, studying Public Health and Studio Art, then dropping Public Health to switch into Digital Media Studies and Studio Arts. I left Public Health in 2019, as I started to realize that there really isn't much to be done abt the American Healthcare system (woefully, I was proved correct). It was a great time in my life where I was able to meet amazing people, make some awesome friendships, and learn a lot art myself. I was super social too, which was something I'm v proud of as an introvert- I joined a fraternity (Delta Upsilon), started a few DEI initiatives for greek life, and become a part of the LGBTQ student club's governing board throughout my time at the university. So many memories, and so many nights I wish I didn't forget lmao.But now in the art world, ppl ask a lot if college is necessary. Honestly, idk/not really. In the world of youtube, and social media, its fairly easy to create art that you want with time and dedication. What's the most important part of artistic homeschooling is actually using the resources you have available. Social media is not just for posting art, but connecting with other artists. Youtube isn't just for learning how to make art, but also learning about artists through time, and seeing the lifestyles of other artists around you. Finding residencies, galleries, and connecting with other artists would take you just as far, if not more. (cont below)
