Well, I just got out of a real so-so critique. It actually went pretty badly but I kind of knew it was going to so I really wasn't surprised. What is surprising is I don't care! In fact I am really excited about the next one. I think I realized during critique to not try to take photos that the teacher will like, because he probably won't anyway. I always do that on the first critique. But I guess you have to get a feel for what the rest are going to be about. So really I'm not sure what I'm writing about here. I'm not really distraught at all!
In fact, one thing that I have been looking at and frequenting lately is blogs from artists and not artists. What is the point of a blog? To keep in touch? Why do I enjoy reading about a stranger's day? It's like I am connecting and I feel I know the person, but in reality, I have no idea! Is this writing reflecting who I am? If this blog became really quite popular, would people start assuming what kind of a person I am? Do I really want people to read this? I'm not sure that I mind either way, but why make things like this public?
I suppose the main reason I have one is just to figure it out. Learn all the coding behind it to better serve my web design abilities. But then once it is figured out, how come I am still writing, especially when my writing has nothing to do anymore with technical aspects?
