art or craft?

art rises above all methods; in itself cannot be taught, but the crafts certainly can be. architects, painters, and sculptors are all craftsmen in the true sense of the word

this was one of the principles that the bauhaus was built upon.

then, anyone can learn the craft of architecture, painting, and sculpting, but only a few can reach art and learn what art is in its true sense?

i wonder if i am a mere craftsman or a true artist...

its been too long..

..since i wrote a post.. but i've been also really busy :(
midterm lasted for almost 3 weeks... but now its over..
i didn't watch any dramas last week, but i caught up on everything in 2 days haha
i'm also sick right now, so i think all i have had to do was watch dramas haha :D
i'm excited for this last part of the semester, studio and art history particularly..
and soon it'll be summer and i'll be home!
ive been pretty homesick, and i really miss everyone back home.. 38 days left :)
heres some screencaps of the 3D computer model i've been working on for the past 3 weeks of the smith house by richard meier

i think it might be...

i've been oddly depressed this break.. idk what it was.. i was just so sad/angry..

i think it might have been because i was away from home? and saw that others were leaving.. and my roommate's mother was also hear for the beginning of break that i had started to miss my own family.. and seeing them.. not like through the internet.. but REALLY seeing them.. :(

i think it might also be because i'm struggling with personal issues right now ? i feel like i've lost a lot of self confidence lately.. sigh

i think it might also be because i'm stressing over my psychology midterm that is next wednesday and i HAVE to pass this one.. so i've been reading my book inside out, practice testing myself, making pages of notes..

i think it might also be because i feel so trapped in my studio project because my teaching is meshing everyone's work and we're all starting to have the same program and similar buildings ? i feel like i've lost my sense of creativity.. i miss my first semester teacher.. a lot.. he was so awesome.. although i really didn't like him the first couple of weeks...

i think it might be because its april and its supposed to be beautiful outside but it randomly snows in providence.. like yesterday.. -__-

i think it might be because i miss home a lot...
