Sophmore you have a little bit of community but are still trying to figure out how to make your own art.

Biola art majors about art majors
“Emotional. Sassy. Just kidding. This is a really hard question because some I think are really laid back, but others really aren’t that laid back. Strange.

The photo assignment has been pushed back!
violentkiwiphotography:
Instead of being due on Friday, it’s due the class after, which won’t be until Thursday next week.
That’s a relief because if it were still due Friday, I’d have to finish it tonight. Instead, I did my contact sheets and now I have a little bit more time to think about what I want to print and I’ve got the weekend, plus all day on Tuesday, plus whatever evenings work.

General flamboyance is also acceptable

Art Major Description
“Art majors are more often than not pretentious snobs. And I just love how “non-conformists” all look the same. You ever notice that? Not only that, of all majors, Art majors are the easiest to offend.”
