Things I Learned At Art School by Megan Dunn

3.0

---

I wonder if anyone who’s not/ or hasn’t been an art student would read this and care. I wonder if that matters. This book brings up complicated feelings I have around my own ongoing relationship with art school. (What’s the point?/ What isn’t the point? I’ve learnt so much here yet nothing at all). That deepened inquiry in itself makes me feel like personally, this was worth the read.


Pretty funny,

then serious, but only at the end. Comedy without some earnesty can sometimes fall flat for me - the last few chapters redeems that feeling. Could’ve been half the size and better.
