# I'm afraid I'm not really a (*resists urge to say art fag*) one to take active interest in the arts.
It's more of a passive appreciation than anything.

But the bash is on the 31st so I'm sure you can force everyone to go see it, or put it up on the b3ta calendar or something.

# trust me
this is about a level 4 of pretentiousness (on a scale of 1-10) at my art college.

this is why i'm escaping to bournemouth to do animation next year...

as for adding to the b3ta calendar.
no thanks.
i get called a cunt enough as it is on here...

# Probably study art and/or graphics.
I wanna design album art and concert posters and the like. :]

# you'll be wanting to do graphics then
fine art's more about context and bollocks like that. ;)

# Ahh, alright.
S'what I thought.
What do you study?
Also, is it actually a good place to go?

# well i'm only on foundation
so we got to try a bit of everything, and then i chose fine art media.

it's a good place yeah, BUT you have to be the right sort of person to go there.
as much as most of b3ta thinks i'm a pretentious fool, i actually can't stand it there.

it's the kinda place where technical skill is almost discouraged, because it's all about 'the idea'.
which infuriates me, becauce the concept is only half the battle. it takes a lot of skill to actually Make it.

but in terms of being 'the place to be' it's great
because there's lot of oppurtunities to get your name out there, make connections, which is basically what the art world is really all about.
especially if you want to do something commercial like making band covers and posters.

# Humm...
that all doesn't surprise me, oddly. I went to the museum there one time. It was alright, really. Some...odd stuff there. Heheh.

# I had a friend who was going to go to St Martins, or the Imperial School of art is it? Fuck knows it was one of the good ones (I have no knowledge of universities or art schools).
Then he ended up deferring, doing a cram year of biology and chemistry and then going to university to be a doctor, I never knew why though.

He was sort of inbetween, where he would have some fairly flippant and strange reasoning but the product would always be good. Like massive oil paintings of Saddam Hussein surrounded by rotting meat and stuff.
