Art History Bites...

The big question we ask ourselves as artist and designers going to school at the State college and University level, Why do we need to take Art History? I know we take general history because we need to learn from the past or else we will be doomed to repeat it, but why art history? Nothing seems to be a mistake really in my opinion. Art is art, its fun, crazy, it lets one have fun and be creative and messy. I guess I am only blogging because I am really frustrated with school in general. Its overwhelming at times and I feel like giving up. Perhaps its the "senioritis" I am experiencing right now? Or maybe I am burn out from the last four years of college  being a full time student while maintaining two jobs? I don't know what my deal is but I am falling behind terribly in school right now. Whats worse? The two art history classes are killing me, followed by my flash class, and internet production class. Is it possible to pick up my slack and catch up, or is it too late? We shall see as we are a lil past the midway point and theres not turning back. Stay behind? Or pick myself up and graduate on time? We shall see...
