The struggle of an Art and Design Major

Procrastination at it's finest. Until you are just going crazy and wasting time on things that really don't matter. Or you're trying so hard to make something look awesome you spend so much time and you don't even notice... #theartmajorstruggle

“Why are you always broke? Art supplies can’t be that expensive”

yeah because 6 bucks for one pen is pretty cheap am i right

All the fancy art degrees in the world couldn’t help me to evenly apply eyeliner.

This is perfection.

Art Student Stages During projects

1) Denial. It won’t take long to finish. I only have a few more things to do. I can do this in 2 hours tops.

2) Anger. Why do I have to do this stupid project anyway? This class is dumb. My teacher sucks.

3) Depression. My work sucks. I’ll never be an artist.

4) Procrastination. Ill work on it after a nap.

5) Acceptance. Just get it done.

6) Critique. Fuck your critique. Hey, that one looks good. Hey, that one sucks. Hey, they didn’t even finish it. Hey, what the hell is that?

6) Appreciation. Hey mine turned out pretty good after all.

Art Student Problem #561: 

When your eyes go out of focus while you’re drawing and you’re too lazy to do anything about it, so you just keep moving your pencil and hoping for the best.

Open-ended art assignments that leave a lot of room to experiment

Open-ended art assignments that require you to spend a lot of money on materials in order to complete

As an Art Student...

I get a lot of reactions and statements like:

That sounds like fun

oh you must get great grades

I wish i could sit around and paint all day

What kind of job do you plan on getting with that degree

That is the most useless thing to major in

why

Who the freak do you think designs these apps, websites, magazines, and ads that you used, read, and troll all day? A nursing major?

YESSSSSSS! THIS! ALL DAY. ❤

And here we see an art student, after a week of digging massive holes for a massive sculpture, in front of a canvas painted white in the Museum of Modern Art. The struggle is real.

I have absolutely NO motivation tonight, I am so burnt out from all the hours of studying, projects, and critiques this week.

My night consisted of ‘ok I’ll start working at 7… ok 8… ok 9… 10 definitely… ah screw it’

[grumpycollegedesigner]

me... last night.

[grumpycollegedesigner]

No motivation for life today.

[fyeahartstudentowl]

And not a single crumb was wasted.
