Art should be fun

[postsecrets.com]

Art has always been a huge part of me.  People ask me why my major has nothing to do with art and this Post Secret sums up my feelings pretty well.  I know there is value in taking art classes and learning more, but I don't want it to be my career.  If it were my job, I would always be making things for other people and it would basically feel like an assignment.  Art is my outlet and I want it to be something I do for fun and to escape from real life.  I hear of art majors who haven't done "fun" art in years and I feel bad for them. Don't take that the wrong way- I love art majors and have a lot of respect for them.  Personally I am so happy with my career choice and love doing art for fun.  I am going to try to take pictures of the art projects I work on and put them on here.  I will also try to be a semi-regular blogger about real life.
