I've been traveling and recovering from an ongoing illness. I would just like to add that I love to draw and have been scribbling all my life. Throughout school, classmates were always eager to copy my work, but I didn't mind, I always thought it was flattering. Now, I have been able to transfer my talent with a pencil to a computer mouse. I am 19, and have been involved with "web design" for over six years. I don't have a degree yet, and probably won't get one anytime soon because I am too ill. I had to quit school at the beginning of my sophomore year in high school because I developed Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's disease (IBD). At the moment, I do contract work and am employed as a web developer for a local design firm. What I'm trying to say is, don't worry about how you'll look to others in the class, I took some fine art classes to get back into the swing of things and I hated it. Take the class because it's there and because it's all about growing, experiencing new things. I was always more than willing to help anyone that was struggling with their technique, and I'm sure that with whatever art class you choose, you'll find more help than you need. It has been difficult for me to decide whether I want to keep doing web design or get back to my roots. Before my illness, I used to draw everyday. Now, I'm always busy with online projects. For me, the internet has replaced pencil and paper, and I hate it. I like designing sites, but I love drawing. I just feel like I put the pencil down too long, and now I've got to catch up. In a way, I resent ever getting involved with computers and neglecting my other skills. I know that I'm not alone in wanting to throw my computer out the window or smash it into little pieces. We all need direction, just keep trying, who cares about what other people think. I can tell you right now, I wouldn't mind a little help. :) Rattula Maybe I should sell all my stuff, it's actually what I've been meaning to do anyway. Anybody interested in a couple of workstations and a plethora of legit software? I'm not joking, if anyone is interested, please let me know. If there is anyone that can relate, please share your experiences. "Your perception of the obvious is quite remarkable!" [This message has been edited by rattula (edited 10-03-2001).] Loading...
