At McDaniel College, due to our size, we have smaller art facilities compared to larger, state schools. this may sound bad to an outsider, but this limited space has worked well for the advanced studio artists at my school. we have been given an old storage room as our "studio". we are beneath the old gym in a basement-like area. there are pipes showing and concrete floors and walls. to some people this sounds like a horrible environment, but it just the place i like to work. i like feeling like i can make a mess and i wont get yelled at. in high school i would have to clean up the smallest drop of paint when i would spill it. at my current studio i paint whatever i want on the walls and spill paint with no repercussions. its how i always pictured my home studio looking and its gonna be sad when i have to leave my space after this semester.
Above is a picture of my area that i was given, my only complaint is that i wish i had more space, i like to stretch out. sometimes when other students are no there ill just put my stuff on their desks so i can have a little more room. i think its good to have a space where it doesnt matter if you mess it up, it removes any restrictions you may put on yourself.
