sculpture 101

how do you make yourself feel adequate when you've just done something that's just SO dumb? do you just forget about it? damn i always get unsettled by such things, like i feel i have to make up for it, even though the situation's over and there's really nothing i can do about anything...


oh well, i've decided again that art is fun. after 3 years of architecture, it's really refreshing to be able to just talk about your ideas without people telling you, "no this doesn't work. you're not thinking." ri guess one of the differences between artists and architects is the idea of experience. in architecture, there's knowledge that can be accumulated, that can give people a sense of whether something is better than the other. of course it's true for technical skills in art, but in terms of creativity, everything is a new experience. because art stimulates the observer in a much greater variety of ways -- you're not restricted by having to consider function, feasibility, sustainability and all those other things. the ideal observer approaches art with a fresh mind, making personal connections, interpretations and letting himself be affected by the artwork. we find meaning in lots of different things. you can't do that with architecture, cos architecture always has to have that primary role of function and program.

so therefore, art is fun. it's definitely is very much that mechanism for release that it's so well known for.
