you’ve never been in a situation like that? I have as a clown, a musician, a performance artist, a graphic designer and a marketer.

No, I’ve only ever heard things like that in a comedy sketch making fun of art. I guess I went to a better art school than you. Was your award given by journalists or artists?

So, explain why you think this is anything other than a waste of time for engineering students?

Engineers tend to get trapped between their calipers. They need to look holistically at the entire package. They need to play with things and think about their meaning and purpose. They need to analyze their decisions in the context of the human experience. They need to be free to experiment without technical restraints so they can push against the boundaries of what’s “possible”. Art is fast and fun. Design is smotth and calculated.
This guy is the perfect example. He gets this great idea, mills up a giant block of aluminum, spends 10 days faffing around, then throws it in the bin and starts over. Dude needs to sketch some shit and play with cardboard and clay and get his thoughts together before running to spin up his favorite tool.

perhaps your subjective experience is not the same as mine, and similarly, what I’ve experienced is not as universal as I hoped and my joking little comment about what it’s like to get unusual feedback doesn’t land with you - or anyone perhaps on this forum
and thats OK. My apologies if it didn’t resonate, but also I don’t think either of us will get any more out of bickering.

Perhaps I can back too harsh, but I hear that response anytime I bring up art in front of engineers. It isn’t funny, is mainly lies and is meant to denegrate the whole occupation of art. If you’re an artist hold the standard higher please.
