the responsibilities of artists in school

Can we start fuck­ing act­ing like ARTISTS?

Not pi­geon­hole our­selves as stu­dents, cor­po­rate ‘yes men’ or blun­der-head­ed work hors­es who go where you tell them to go.

You are a ARTIST. Do you re­mem­ber what that means? 

art·ist   ˈärdəst/
noun.
a per­son who pro­duces paint­ings or draw­ings as a pro­fes­sion or hobby.

syn­onyms
de­sign­er, cre­ator, orig­i­na­tor, producer; 
old mas­ter
“a mur­al artist”
a per­son who prac­tices any of the var­i­ous cre­ative arts, such as a sculp­tor, nov­el­ist, poet, or filmmaker.
a per­son skilled at a par­tic­u­lar task or occupation.

“a sur­geon who is an artist with the scalpel”
synonyms
ex­pert, mas­ter, mae­stro, past mas­ter, vir­tu­oso, genius;

ART·IST
Anarchist/Contrarian
A per­son who creates.
Anti-virus to a sick­ened society.
A per­son who says fuck it to the cor­po­rate bullshit.
A per­son who doesn’t lay down to be walked on.
A con­trib­u­tor to the hive mind, choos­ing to warn
oth­ers of the Maester Controller.

You are not a stu­dent. You are not a work­er bee. You are not a pa­thet­ic cog to a fail­ing ma­chine, yet you let your­self get stepped on and re­greased by any me­chan­ic who picks you up from the garage sale. 

Are you afraid of what may hap­pen to you? Are you afraid of your fu­ture? Do you know why you’re afraid? You set your­self up to be in the hands of oth­ers. You set your­self up to be an­oth­er person’s decision.

You young adults are so bloody afraid of be­ing a god­damn adult you can’t even be an artist! You’re still the kid who sits in the cor­ner and draws. Be bet­ter than that.

Go fuck­ing de­fine your­self. You have a lot to get done.
