Joe recently asked the Sculpture 3 students about their long term goals.
Students wrote their responses to the following questions:
- As an artist, what is your definition of success? What do you want to achieve long term?
- What are the 3 most important things you can do now to reach your goal(s).
We watched the two videos included below — laughing, of course at how extremely macho the first video is, and at the outrageous contrast between the first and second video:
Some students then asserted that long term goals are not really so important. We had a lively debate. Joe then asked the students to contact some people that they respect and ask the following questions: “How important do you think it is for a person to have long term goals? Why or why not? …and, if long term goals are NOT important, then what IS?”
Students were asked to type a brief summary of their discussions and email them to Joe before the start of the next class meeting. Results to follow.
