Yesterday was National LA Portfolio Day at Cal Arts in Valencia. My friend Jordan and I went around 1:30. It started at 12 and ended at 4. I didn't bring anything, as I haven't really put a portfolio together yet. I mean, I haven't taken an art class since I was in 7th grade. I'm in one now, but I just started so I don’t have much to show for it yet. But Jordan brought a few sketches and ended up feeling really stupid because we got there and there were hundreds of people with huge portfolios. She only had a little notebook. These people had all kinds of things with them. One girl even walked around with this huge stuffed rabbit that I'm guessing she made. Looked kind of embarrassing? But oh well. I met a couple cool people there while waiting in line. The huge part of going to a portfolio critique is waiting in line. I heard that in one day, if you were to see 5 critics, you did really well. Some people there were unbelievable artists, which I think made Jordan even more uncomfortable. Not that she isn’t any good. She just needs to start actual projects that she can bring next year. It was fun walking around Cal Arts, even though all the standing made my feet hurt a little. I have wanted to go there for so long, if only just to look around. I truly am not sure if I really want to go there for college though. I mean, it’s a great college, but I’m not sure if I want to go to an art college even. It seems almost like if I were to become an artist for a living, I would have to survive off of my artistic ability. And I’m not sure that I want to have to do that. I might not enjoy doing art as much if I was under a lot of pressure to finish projects all the time. And to think of projects on command. I just…can’t do that? Oh well I guess I’ll figure out what I want to do eventually.
