MUSINGS: 5 Things You Don't Know About Fine Arts Majors

1. We are not insensitive.

There are always misconceptions about us being conceited and more focused on expressing ourselves rather than helping out in the community. Our way of helping out is creating. That is the only way we know of.

2. We create half of what is on your feed.

Yes, we are creators. We are poets, designers and photographers. We create content for other professions to dig in and manipulate.

3. We are not all deep. Sometimes, it just appears that way.

Just because we wrote one line of reflection in our captions does not mean we aim to be the hipster friend we all have. Sometimes looking at mundane things in a new perspective just gives us a lot of fun.

4. We don't want to compare and neither should you.

Just because what we do is different from what you do, doesn't mean that we have it easy. Just like you, we get stressed. We try our hardest to be original. Time and time again, we prove to others that our works are relevant.

5. We care about money.

We are known to be struggling to survive. In part, it is true but you’ll be surprised to know that artists are also educated enough to put a cost to their works equal to the hard work they pour onto it. Although cost is something tangible, worth on the other hand is not. We operate on the same ladder and aspire that someday cost and worth will amount to each other.
