RE: My Teen Sketchbook
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I remember my drawing lessons in elementary school. But not in art classes, but in music education classes.
And all that, with the blessing of the professor.
Namely, that was our task. The professor plays a piece of classical music, and we express the emotions that the music creates for us through a drawing :-)
It was a long time ago. So long ago that I could easily be classified in the generation of those you write about here:
Sometimes it feels like that is the real trend now, this constant judging and putting down everything modern and praising everything old
However, I've spent my whole life in the company of younger people (younger than me) and I'm not one of those who will say that only "before" was better.
Every time brings new changes and every generation lives them as its own reality.
I believe that today's twenty-year-olds will remember their youth with nostalgia in thirty years, when they will claim that that time was the best...
Of course, everything was better when we were young, but this time is now, for some it is the time of youth and as such, it is the best, with everything it brings.
Almost wrote: yesss, those were good teachers and a good class program (unlike what we have today xD) - 100 percent contradiction. 😁
We had something similar: from time to time, our music teacher would play piano for us and we would spend a good part of the class with our eyes closed, imagining pictures in our heads and then in the second half of the class we would talk about what each of us had imagined. It was like drawing in our minds. 🥰
Sometimes I feel a bit sad that I don't do anything truly creative as a profession, only as a hobby when inspiration strikes once in like never..
And one more compliment for the newer generations: it seems to me that they get moving much faster when they want something; they don't have those social insecurities that most of us born in the last century felt sooner or later.
