I am of the opinion that there is a very unfortunate aspect developing in studio culture. There is often a very noticeable change that students go through in their general attitude towards each other. It seems to me that as some students progress in grade level, they digress in the avenue of social skills. It is sad and almost frightening to see that the same person with whom you could have a decent conversation just a few months before is now more inclined to pass you by without even a greeting. Fortunately though, this disease has limited to small spores around the school, and for the most part, students could still come together and mingle as young adults should.
Whenever possible, a few students from the junior year get together, put the computers and sketchbooks aside and have a good time. And as is noticeable from the pictures, things can get pretty crazy. I believe however, that this is what studio culture needs a little more of. I believe that it is these social gatherings that promote genuine bonding, bonding that is at times desperately needed in a major that is at times rather intimidating.
