Good evening Internet world, I am here to write.
Very simply I am here to write my thoughts about art, progression, inspiration and life.
As of right now I am a first year Arts student at OCAD hoping to specialize in the Critical and Curatorial Practice program come second year. Being the 'Luddite' that I am I was hesitant to start up a blog or have an available presence on FaceBook or have a smartphone or iPhone with access to the internet and so forth but throughout my first semester at OCAD a number of factors have come to my attention and made me consider easing up a little on my technological solidarity.
The main factor being that I want to be completely immersed in art; in the world of art, the culture of art, the creating of art, the writing, the viewing, the working, the giving, the history, the loving, the needing, the living of art. I want my life to be involved in art and if I want this and a job potentially in an arts administration position I need a web presence. No matter my aversion to a large portion of certain technological advancements if I want to be considered as a candidate for a job I love and participate in the art community I gotta get a website.
This is me, stepping my baby toe into the online world with open arms to embrace and take advantage of all the possibilities out there.
Another qualifying factor is I love to write. My first semester English teacher encouraged me to keep writing as an active force in my school career because she thought I had an ‘interesting’ approach to writing. I will take that and I will write. I have a number of thoughts that bump around in my head that I think would benefit and potentially become fully formed ideas and opinions if I sat down and spend the time with them.
So here I e-stand, ready to move forward.
