Ok, so as you know I've been working on my Junior Seminar project about respect. I sat down today with my overseeing professor and listened to him tell me how to change my project into something it wasn't truly meant to be. I stuck to my guns though and plan to do the project anyway, my way. I understand that professors are more knowledgeable than us but at some point we have to become our own critic. I hate to take a lower grade for doing my project my way but I plan to.
This is my vision, nobody else can tell me what my vision is. I don't mind a little tweaking but I definitely don't want to hear about how everything i'm doing in my project is totally wrong. Only I know what respect means to me. I know what I think respect should mean in this world. He's trying to adapt my project to his idea of respect, and that just doesn't work for me. I chose this project purposefully, with a meaningful theory behind it. I'm starting to transition into that phase of being an artist that requires that I stop doing projects because they're cool and start doing them because they have meaning, they have value, and they have a life of their own.
