Digital Journal Exercise III

What mark do I want to make on the world...good question. I've always been an impulse type of person once I get the urge to do something I have to do it or it sits there in the back of my mind like a nagging old woman ^_^ that's why I like this little excerpt from the reading:

"Acquiring a mission may be the product of prolonged investigation, 

but some artists report that their missions seemed to find them."

Though we've been in school all this time and don't really have a feel for ourselves once we get out there its all up to us on what we make of ourselves. Whether we make art to confuse people or create art to sell, whichever we choose is up to us and our mission. That much I got out of the reading, it doesn't matter if one person doesn't understand your work because what one person doesn't like another will hence the reason why:

"Artists are granted special latitude in dealing with truth and facts. Instead of accuracy, they have the privilege of exaggerating, distorting, ignoring, and embellishing. Furthermore artists can disregard professional protocol and standards of correctness. They don't need to request permission to speak or act. As a result, functionality, accuracy, and manners can be warped without compromising artistic merit."
