I have an art degree from a public, non-art university (way cheaper)

1. gained skills & had access to resources i likely wouldn't have had otherwise. Had awesome profs as well

2. Yep, at my current job I use & increase skills i learned at school. still in contact w/ people i met there too

Art School Discourse is happening again, so I wanna see something.

🎨 If you went to/graduated from an art school/art college/art major:

1. What was your most valuable takeaway(s) from your experience?

2. In hindsight, was it all worth it for those main takeaways?

having a weird time with my art lately. I'm really missing etching & oil painting and I don't have a good space to do either of those rn. There's other reasons too but idk how to explain them at the moment.

I LOVE mornings when I can just chill in my bed & knit for a while. kinda becoming a morning person since I have to get up at the same time every day to take my meds and at that point I may as well just stay up. Anyway this yarn is quite strange but I'm liking it for socks so far. #knitting #knitsky

Today, March 21st, is World Down Syndrome Day. At ASAN, we uplift the self-advocacy of all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), which is why we recognize World Down Syndrome Day!
Yellow and blue gradient background with a textured white box. There is a yellow and blue awareness ribbon on the right side. Text reads: March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day. Down syndrome is a condition where people have an extra copy of chromosome 21. Chromosomes are structures that exist inside of cells and contain information. Most humans have 2 pairs of 23 chromosomes. World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated on the 21st day of the 3rd month, in honor of the 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome that people with Down syndrome have. The ASAN logo is at the bottom.
