England: Let’s Make Art

Submitted by Eric Varakian on the 2019 summer session program in England sponsored by the Department of Art & Design…

To be honest, I’m kind of tired of looking at art on this trip. Museum visit after museum visit is cool don’t get me wrong, but I’m not a big fan of looking at other work all day, I want to make the work. It is definitely inspiring and it is motivating me to create some incredible work once I get home, but I want to get started on that already. I feel like I am ready to take the next step with my work and really start wowing some people. I feel the same way about our design visits. There is a lot of reiteration between the different studio visits and we are hearing similar, but valuable information. I want to get moving with my career already!
