HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Hello I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break. It is though time for schools to start opening their doors and it is our turn to open our heads once again and get to work and since school is beginning to swing back in to session I am gonna get back on the ol' blog mobile and get some more heavy hitting articles coming out for you guys. I hope to get some interviews and such this year and we'll see what else I can get together for you guys.


QUESTION!!! What do you want to see in the new year? In yourself as an artist?

A Call to Arms!

So with the end of another semester winding down I believe that a call to action is in order. I know I have been promising a photo dump recently and I intend to follow through with that as soon as I can photograph my work.

Since this site is all about the growth of each individual reader I want to open up the Floor to anyone who wants to post their work on the site. Email me (artschoolsurvival (at) gmail.com) with 2 jpegs of your work (as well as anything you want to say about them )that show how you have grown as an artist over the course of this semester. More details to come!!


See you soon!

Question of the Week: World Survival at Stake!!! Are you ready?

2012 IS COMING AND THE WORLD IS ENDING!!!  Not really but this seriously is about global issues. I have recently found that the longer my site is up the more readership I have internationally.

I use alot of tools from Google especially Analytics and Webmasters. I found that using these I can find where in the world people are accessing the Survival Guide from. I am finding that Americans are viewing my site more than others with the UK and Deutschland falling into Second and Third respectively.

So for an Uber late Question of the Week!

Where are you all from? How much of the world will survive when the Artistic Apocalypse comes?

New Projects

Okay, so if any of you have ever typed "Light Graffiti" into Youtube.com or Google you know that this is a new artform that has been growing and growing through the use of sites like Flikr and all that. Well if any of you are into this or if you want to get started head over to Lighthenight.ning.com and join our community. See you there!

UPDATES

I hope All of you are doing well and that all of my readers here in the US had a fun Thanksgiving Holiday and to all of you outside of the US I hope the end of your semester is going well.

Quotes of Wisdom: Disney

“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
–Walt Disney


I was watching Meet the Robinsons on TV tonight and when I saw this I was filled with the urge to keep moving forward. If you haven't seen that movie it is a great inspiration. There are a lot great principals that apply.


Such as FAILURE is a good thing
when we fail we learn alot. When we succeed...not so much. When we fail though we have to take another look and think about what went wrong and fix it. 


Great lessons here. What do you think? Post below
