Never Ending Revisions

So anyone who has ever been in art school knows that unlike papers that you write, read through, edit, and then turn in for a grade, never to be touched again... revisions to art pieces never really end. Grades or almost completely subjective in Art School. Sure, you can do the work and give it your best and sometimes that's good enough, but most of the time it's not. You may walk into a classroom with what you think is a finished project, and by the time you walk out, you'll have a hundred things to change or have to start over completely. It's almost enough to make you crazy. So how do you keep any inspiration when you have professors who throw your hard work back in your face time and time again, or tell you that you're idea is crap or the person you're drawing can't physically bend that direction in real life?

Well... sometimes stress is your only sense of inspiration, followed by frustration and humor. And sometimes there is no motivation. Nothing is harder than working on an art project where you're asked to make your own concept and you're mind is grinding on nothing. You have to work, because the project has to get done... But you have nothing to say. You have no message to give anyone and no motivation. In those situations, coupled with a mass amount of sleepless nights, sometimes will power is the only fuel you have left. But at the end of it all, you're still alive, and somehow most of the time, you pull through.

So that test that you never studied for, or that paper that you wrote in a night... well, we'll let it slide this once, because lets face is, Art School is hard. And when we are inspired, and we do have the time to really buckle down and act like a normal college student, we might just surprise you...
