Balance
It's been two years since I graduated from art school. Since then my art projects have probably not advanced as fast as they could if I were to work on them full-time, but they did advance in a meaningful way. Most importantly, the theoretical considerations behind my approach to abstract photography have evolved quite a bit. I especially benefited from my work as a photojournalist and art critic. It was very instructive to analyze the rich Toronto art scene, especially the huge CONTACT photography festival that takes place every year.
During the undergrad, me-as-aspiring-contemporary-artist developed side-by-side and yet separately from me-
Life after graduation
So there's no more kind professor-artists to tell you how well you do, what to improve and when the deadline is; no more peers to chat with, compare to, critique on; no more pressure to go outside your comfort zone, experiment, and write artist statements. Freedom? Isolation? :faint:
I definitely anticipated the freedom to once again do whatever comes to mind. The thesis project already allowed me to do so, and it was wonderful - so I wanted more of that :love:. However, my other course in my final year inspired my current project. In making it, I am still going back to my older BZMLN series, if not in the premise, but certainly in the proce
Final days as an undergrad
Now that I'm pretty much done, I must say that I never defined myself as an art student. It is a weird thing to be done with my Visual Studies thesis project, with the exhibition in less than a week, while three years ago I was not even sure I would be accepted into university. It all happened so fast!
The effect of the program is, however, significant. I am now very much aware of the contemporary art scene, of its investigations, and I appreciate that world. I came in contact with a variety of media, and I must say that there are many things that I still wanna work on further, but I stick to photography for now because that's what I'm used
2 years at the university
It's been just 2 years, but the change in my priorities and interests has been huge. I am still quite interested in photography and art production in general, but I am leaning towards further academic studies in art history. Specifically, I am in love with medieval art and will be applying for master's next year. I will finish my major in visual studies nonetheless, which will allow me to have fun with photography.
During May I took an intensive course, which required studying 10 hours a day. That pace was actually perfect for me! As soon as the pressure got weaker, I began procrastinating. Clearly, I need a bigger workload for optimal outpu
