Creating

As a member of the art school community one must learn how to learn. In other words one can not create without learning from those that came before them. A set designer can not design a set if one has never seen one before and studied how one is designed or built. Similarly a costume designer can not design costumes from the mid 1600's with out researching what people in that time period wore. This concept applies to very aspect of ones life especially ones student life.

William Macomber taught at the University of Santa Barbra. He was a strong believer in having fun while you learn. One thing that interested me was he suggested to improve ones writing kills one could get into a long distance relationship, or to improve ones speaking skills to fall into a close distance relationship.

I have realized that one reason that I enjoy going to work more than going to school is cause at work I am learning about similar things but in a fun way and it is hands on. Where at school I am sitting behind a desk listening to someone talk about what I could be doing at work. I think that if I try to apply the fun times I have at work to the schooling I am going through now it will go a lot smoother and I will retain the knowledge that I need for my job.
