i hate everything about Miami University's art department. It has no redeeming qualities, and it's students and faculty are very disappointing.
i thought art was about being open minded, and accepting. being creative. being supportive.
i should have fucking gone to an art school.

okay i've calmed down a little, but damn...!
i guess there are some good things but the overwhelming negativity, childishness, and conservativeness in this department is just embarrassing.
i'm pretty sure albers is crying in his grave. this is no bauhaus.
I'm already crying in my grave... besides, I am so pissed at college right now, I could hang myself in a tree.
oh russell you're silly :)
when are we hanging out, i haven't seen you since your birthday
i suppose i should clarify on my current reason for being angered by the department. our professor posted an online critique discussion board, and we all had to post three times for a grade. he offered people the option of posting more times, to erase any extra absences that needed to get erased. instead of using the discussion board to critique (since we each only got about 6 minutes of critique for 60 drawings) people used it to slander others and be very hateful. (basically "you're work is crap. i'm not even interested in it.") well, not my work, but seans for sure, and others as well. it just really aggrivated me. someone posted "i'm tired of controversial art." wtf. go paint your bob ross mountains somewhere else, this is art school!!
amen to that. i tell ya transferring to MCAD was the best decision i ever made.
NICE Blog :)
When are we hanging out? Tomorrow is my last exam...
What does Tara have to say about these evil idiot fucks? "Those cockgobbling cumguzzlers don't know what the fuck art is all about, because their too busy munching scat out a whore's pooper. (sic)"
j/k
That shows you the mentality of Oxford students. Take screen caps and post them on this blog, damn it.
do not get me started on the sick, sad state the art department is in. this has been the semester of truth and revelations. miami isn't about making art, its about appearance. the professors teach 10 percent of the time and then try to protect their cushy jobs the other 90 percent. its all about who can be the biggest fucking backstabber. who can bash the others the most. yeah, critiques are good and everything, but only when they're constructive. THERE ARE THINGS YOU JUST DO NOT SAY DURING A CRITIQUE! you don't say this is shit, you keep your fucking lips together because not everyone can measure up to everyone else's own impossible expectations. what people want is nigh impossible. we're art students, not artists. and when there is even a source of good art in the midst of all the mediocre, the first way people react is by slandering it. i've seen good work. i've seen it get grades it didn't deserve. and i've seen that student cry because of all the hard work put in didn't equate to the ends. if we all graded each other, they'd either be all A's or all F's. i don't fucking care if you think my artwork doesn't compare to your's. who is getting the job offers? you? certainly not because they're my job offers. this is an exercise in humility. who are the students to so harshly judge other students? if you want to say something about someone else's art, then make sure you can handle the same thing coming back at you.
professors are just another thing. i don't even want to get started on them. there are now only two, maybe three professors i respect in the entire art department. all the others just put false fronts. the only reason there is an increase in people taking your classes is because of the upper level students and grad students. we like them a lot better then you shitty professors. but there isn't anything we can do, is there? grin and take, even if you're getting fucked up the ass by the authority.
fuck miami and its backwater reasoning. i'll be glad when i leave.
PS, if this makes me a target, then i accept that. it'll just bring more people to my side when i get the law laid down on me.
Seems all the better teachers are both 1) at Hamilton and 2) not in the art dept. But I hear what you're saying. It's bullshit. Even if I was good at art, it's the last thing I'd do at a college that isn't art school. Much less in Ohio. I've never seen such ass kissing professors, but then again, this is the only college I've gone to. And I have had some shitty professors, yes. But the worst is yet to come, I'm certain. I can't wait to be slandered for my creative writing abilities in the upper level courses.
Russ, you should write some sick story in the first person about a group of mutant children that you touch at night.
