Yay, a thread here that isn't sad and/or depressing <3

So here is the deal. I have been recently been doin a lot of art and drawing [drawing in particular... painting isn't really my thing atm] and my art teacher y' know he just so conveniently teaches at the Valletta School of Art and he has asked mye if I would be interested in going there. I never really thought that I would really, y' know, go to any form of art school ever. I mean I only really picked up this class because my parents are crazys and are always pushing extra curic's so hard. But it got me thinking... Well first about actually going, second about something less-related to art...

1] Should I actually go? I mean I would probably be much busy-er most of the time and idk, it is like whenever I actually finish any drawing or art at all, I am never content with it. I get dismissive of it while meanwhile people tell me they love my art... SO I feel conflicted if I should commit myself to something that I am never content with but other people love it... And I am not -not content with it because I don't like drawing... It is like my tekteking. I love tekteking, but whenever I finish an avatar I am never really content or I never feel that I did my hardest and/or best. But meanwhile, people are telling me that I am a great tekteker... idk

2] I am always saying that moving from America and DC was the worst thing in my life, but I am having this revalation like.... "Was it really?" I mean I met so many people that I lvoe to death here. Everyone is sooo much nicer, the classes are easy but on level [they kinda make me feel smart xDD becuase I did some of the IGCSE content in like 7th / 8th grade.] and I am getting all these new oppurtunities such as the former of this thread. But all my old friends all say they miss me, but in a huuuuge high school, I doubt they notice. They are off making their new friends and settling into themselves there. But I am doing that here, eventhough I always thought that moving here would be like the dregs of hell, leaving everything that I loved so much [family, friends, etc.] and now here, where I have an oppurtunity to go to art shcool, friends that are so much closer to me and who I am, classes that I can easily keep up with and still be challenged in some, and other things... But that is my little life revalation I wanted to share with you guys :3, because frankly I feel at home here? I don't know.

Thoughts?

I know how you feel

In two months Ill be moving away on my own to an arts school. When I first heard about it, I wasnt sure what it would be like, what I would be doing there, would it be a good idea. But I went there, and Im more excited than ever to be going. sure Ill miss my old friends, but after graduation they'll all be off doing their own things; Its sad to say but ill probably lose contact with a lot of them. it happens when you move away.

Maybe you could put some pics of your artwork up? I would love to see it and try and help you.

I think you should try it. My friend is the same way. She hates how her pictures look, but she's really good. It would also be something new and fun, well at least I think it would be. Never be afraid to move. You can meet new people and try and talk to your friends via email or text. You can also visit your family on holidays and such. I am possibly moving out of state for college next year. Sure it can be scary, but it's something that you should persue if your artwork is really that good. Art teachers know what's good and not, so if he recomends it, then why not go for it?

I think it looks interesting. There is so much going on and it's pretty neat. Do you draw other things besides faces? Also, art school will help you develope your skills a lot more and help out with what you are unsure about. You're art seems a lot abstract which is pretty nifty.
