Music, philosophy, art, writing and drama - what would you choose?

No, I am from Denmark, and it is a Danish school that I am writing about You sound a lot like me. I am also interested in every subject, and it would be really hard for me to choose only one subject. I love art and writing. I paint, draw and write poems and short stories, and I would like to learn new things and improve my skills. What do you write and what kind of art do you do? I love music as well. You used to play the violin that is interesting, I would like to learn that. I play the piano, and when I was younger I played keyboard in a band.

hi porcospino i think you are much younger than I.. :) but appreciate your interest.. I write rhyming poetry, about what i am inspired or feeling at the time., which i guess some of which could be used for song lyrics... and have written a few short stories too for children... as a younger person many years ago in my country uk, it wasnt seen as a worthwhile thing to be involved in creative things, so i spent some time in the armed forces, and havehad three children and a lot of life., but am just begining on my own again as children grown up, and getting back to exploring the creative life in me, that has been put on hold for most ofmy life.. the reason i asked about the schools was because i think young children should be given the opportunity to be creative more in this country so as to be able to express themselves in positve and all kinds of ways. I am working on starting a collection for my first exhibition, which is not organised yet as have to do the work first !!! i paint in acrylics as find them very versatile, and can be made up to the consistency of oils or light as watercolours.. my main love is textiles... but all these things combine well... just happy to create.... recent events seem to be opening up more possiblities, and am not fully decided where or what i am going to focus on.. but for now am happy exploring and touching all that interests me to i get that.. oh yeah this makes me smile more than others. which i have to say is difficult, cos they all do.. what ever i am doing painting or sewing or writing..... am just off to the library to pick up some books on philosophy i hope., so am still studying myself... i am going to do a selection of pictures on some of the songs i like as when i listen to them get images... of how they would look on canvass... so lots to do and not much time to do it.. if i where in your position, of choosing for courses is look at what want o do in long term.. like if an artist then obviously choose that path, because that does not stop the writing or the music playing.. if proffessional musician does a qualification make a better payed and respected job and then follow that as the painting and the writing wont stop.. that kind of thing... perhaps you wish to teach then philosophy would be a good choice, as the study of that would bring greater understandings which would improve writing and expressing art and wouldnt stop the music.... i think the choices depend on what you want at the end of the study ... glad to have chatted and glad you raised this discussion good luck with your choices and with all your creative ideas best wishes x

"Try everything you can at least once" I like that sentence It is also the way I see it. It is nice to become better at the things that I am already interested in, but I also love trying new things and I love getting many different kinds of experiences. The school I was reading about only allows us to choose one line/one subject, but I would prefer to try 2 different subjects or maybe 3 different subjects in order to explore many new things. Unfortuneately that is not possible at that school (unless I sign up a second time, and that would be too expensive)

Try this. See if any of the classes in other sectors can be used as "electives". This way it may be possible to at least get your feet wet in those pools. Whatever you do, though, make sure that school of your choice is accredited so that the coursework can transfer to another school if it turns out you don't really like that one. I'm very surprised that one school doesn't allow you to explore other areas. It's not like they are Juilliard... which, btw, is www.juilliard.com.

I also think that is a tough choice. Actually I am interested in every single subject that they offer so it is hard for me to choose only one I share your interest in writing and art. Recently I have spent most of my time on art, but in the future I want to write again.

Your school sounds interesting. I like drawing and painting, but I have never learned anything about pottery. I also like knitting and weaving and I used to work in a weavery for a short while. Good luck with your studies I share your interest in music, and I have played the piano and the keyboard.

may i ask if you are a resident of the uk or usa., because this is a subject of passing along crafts of all things on to the next generation, and my area of love is also textiles and the embellishments etc...and well would like to see more schools around on these kind of things at earlier ages, so the creativity is accepted as normal part of the spectrum of life.also started a few disscussion on this subject and would like to hear your views if you have the time best wishes x

Writing is also my passion I started writing more than 20 years ago and I still enjoy it a lot. I also love music, right now I only listen to other people's music, but in the past I have played music myself and I also like to write songs.

I don't know AR Rahman, but I would like to listen to his music. I also love music. I am an average singer, I don't think that I would become a famous singer if I tried, but I enjoy singing and playing the piano. I have have also played the keyboard in the past. It is nice to hear that your have kept the paintings from your childhood. I haven't got any of my old paintings, but I have a collection of paintings and drawings that I have made as an adult.

I agree, it would be a challenge to try something that we are not familiar with. I like the idea of doing something totally different for a change, and it is one of my goals to try many different things and challenge myself.

I also like music a lot. I played the piano when I was younger and I used to play keyboard in a band. I would love to learn to play the guitar. Have you been playing for many years? You are right, I might regret it if I don't choose the things that I like. On the other hand the thought of trying something totally different also attract me. I might not like the it, but at least I know that I tried.

I like your attitude. I also think that it is great to learn new things. If it is a subject that we have never tried before it might be a real challenge, but I still find it interesting to try new things and get new kinds of experiences. Writing is an interesting subject. I started writing more than 20 years ago, but I still love it. What kind of things do you write?
