Finals

Finals week is very stressful. At this point in the semester I’m all out of creativity, but that doesn’t fly at an art school. All of a sudden there’s a mad rush of students using the labs and darkrooms trying to create masterpieces. I hate to say it but I miss a good old-fashioned final; I’d take a test any day over this. It’s very irritating trying to finish projects when the buildings are open only at certain times, and usually when I have another class.

The finals themselves are so different. You have a critique where you present your work to one or two teachers who ask you questions and rate your finished product. For someone with no artistic ability it is very daunting.
