Hello. I came across theDegrees Unedited blog concept whilst in the library today, flipping through AN to secure some research and possibly steal it to avoid heinous costs of photocopying. Starting this means I can shove my opinions in others' faces, no matter how boring or insignificant, and hopefully someone will identify with the problems that third year art students face.
I notice that there aren't many students from the West Midlands on here. Possibly because it appears at my university not many people care about art/craft. When asked why she had chosen to complete a three year, full time, approx £9,000 degree, a third year textiles student uttered the immortal phrase "I don't know". Afterwards we agreed that she could at least have had the decency to lie.
It is important for me that young artists and makers have a voice, somewhere in the ether, about issues surrounding art as a concept and as an actuality. I hope my blog will go some way to expressing my own voice and that others will do the same, loudly, but without saying LOLZ.
