NCAD - Fine art? (4 Viewers)

[rampz]

my one criticism of art college is that they should really emphasise business skills from day one.

maybe they do this nowadays.

If you want to be a secondary school teacher apply for the teaching course at NCAD. Fine art courses are for people who want to be proffesional artists...and its really hard to become a proffesional artist if you are not commited to it you will not succeed.

Also I wouldn't listen to graphic designers who say all abstract painters can't draw or all video installations are crap. These are people who just like looking at pictures and thinking that looks like the thing it is suppssed to be a painting of..wow!

ALL ART COURSES ARE RUN ARSE-WAYS. "I THINK THE RED DOT DESERVES A DISTINCTION. NO, THE BLUE DOT DOES".....HOW THE HELL IS IT GONNA WORK?? AND THESISES ARE BASTARDS.

PIMP WHORE STEAL SWIPE LEARN ON THE SLY . THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'LL GET ANYWHERE IN COLLEGE. AND WE'RE TALKIN' GENUINE ARTISTIC ANYWHERE. GIVE THEM THE HORSESHIT THEY WANT IF YOU'RE AFTER THE DOUGH.

YOU HEAR THAT COREY??!!

AND IF I SEE A VIDEO INSTILLATION YOU'RE FUCKIN' DEAD.

FineARTTAQUAANNNDO!!!

profiling. generalisations.!zed

the vast majority of video installations are shit. they are quite often short loops of people doing everyday things but slightly recontextualised (most vjs cover this in their repetoire these days) and then beside the installation is a 200 word essay defining it as 'art'. if you cant define it through your medium without extensive assistance from the written word then its a pile of cack. i did a video installation for my end of year fine art degree piece of mates playing with sparklers and glowsticks with trails on the footage put to a roger doyle score. it was abstract. it was shite (they wouldnt let me do a short film. gits). still it got me a 2:1 . so what does that say about the system? !bog

I was kinda appalled to find out you can do a fine art degree specialising in painting (like my brother did) and get no technical tuition in actual painting. Can you imagine studying music in university and specialising in performance, and never actually getting tuition on your instrument? It's bizarre.

TO BE POLITE AND SO FORTH..

I DON'T GRAPHIC DESIGN.. AND I DON'T PRETEND TO. I DON'T JUST LOOK AT PICTURES. AND I DON'T THINK "that looks like the thing it is suppssed to be a painting of..wow!"

I MAKE CARTOONS. I DRAW. I APPRECIATE THOUSANDS OF DIVERSE ARTISTIC PURSUITS.


MAN... I'D SLAP AROUND YOUR INSTALLATION SUCKIN' FACE.


TESTY... DO WHAT YOU FIND MOST INTERESTING AND EXCITING.

is ther any good irish art out there? went to the national gallery once and some of it looked like a toddler was given a free reign with a canvas.

 

[frona]

it made me realise that i'd hate proper art college, which was a useful thing to know..

I had my diploma got before I realised that. Feckin place. In answer to your question, art college sucks (except as a vehicle for drinking, drugs and meeting boys, or girls if you like girls) but you're not going to listen and do it anyway. If you actually want to be an art teacher you might even like art college.

I wish I had studied something more academic. But at the time I had this stupid idea that I'd shrivel up and die if I didn't express my creativity! Pah! Hanging around on the dole for months and months nearly made me shrivel up and die. Thanks art college.
