Iām worried about going in to my plastics course next semester without enough knowledge of artists who use plastics/ work in the mediumā¦ I feel the same way about my ceramics course. Iām afraid I will waste the class learning what I already should have known, I should have a base of knowledge. Yes it is fine for other people to come in to a class not knowing anything because yes you are there to learn, but it would be lazy of me and I need to take full advantage of the class so I need to already know so much. Also I feel like the class will only be learning the technical aspects of learning how to use it and not any info, but I will also have a sculpture history class that I will try to take full advantage of. Anyway I donāt feel like it is enough to just be āinterestedā or āintoā plastic as a material just because I like it (its history, uses, capabilities conceptually and itās looks) and but I do feel like having the interest is a good base but itās not enough to have an interest in something without knowledge of it because I feel like for me I need to take in everything before I put anything out and it may also be disrespectful to the material and its history? But also fuck that I can do whatever I want? But like why am I into it if I donāt know so much about it?
Iām worried that if Iām not seeking out all the info on it than whatās the point of using it that would be blind like also my exploration of the material by me actually using it is limited by my access to it
Also I just wanna see everything that has been done so I can push it past that and I donāt want to be repeating history if i donāt be having to. By that I mean I have to learn and take in other peopleās uses of it and take that in as my education instead of starting at square one when history and past artists have already done that.
Maybe this is all stupid bc everyone else already thought about this and your reading it and you likeā¦duh!!! But Iām still just trying to learn and get smart :/
Anyway if you have any more insight on this (not just about this specific material-but about any medium or any way of approaching a class eyc. Lmk what u think!!!
