Artists

It honestly feels like days since I've slept properly. If I'm not up half the night annotating inspiration pages, I'm drawing ridiculous amounts of fruit that I've bought solely to sketch.
But I guess that is what I get for choosing to be an art kid.

I think society as a whole generally downgrades art for what it really is. In all my schooling, my art subjects have been by far the most time consuming and difficult. Now I'm no maths or science whiz so I can't claim that they are easier but they sure do take less practical effort.

After this year I hope to get into Visual Merchandising as a course (wish me luck) but the amount of work I've undertaken in this year alone really concerns me. It has just shown me how little we appreciate the work of artists. There is no such thing as just putting paint to canvas. There is so much more effort behind a spectacular art piece that we as viewers couldn't possibly understand.

So now not only do I respect the talents of the artists of today but also their hard work and perseverance through the annoying and tedious explorations necessary before the final outcome.
