Nancy Spero
Becoming an Artist

00:00:11.134 --> 00:00:14.618
I thought doomed to be an artist growing on

00:00:14.869 --> 00:00:18.538
because I rather drew over the margins of my textbooks than..

00:00:18.938 --> 00:00:21.201
than actually doing the classwork.

00:00:21.633 --> 00:00:25.017
I was never interested in doing anything else..

00:00:25.017 --> 00:00:26.618
..I hadn't liked highschool,

00:00:26.618 --> 00:00:28.986
I hadn't liked university..,

00:00:28.986 --> 00:00:32.621
but I LOVED art school.

00:00:33.047 --> 00:00:36.775
So that's when I decided to be an artist,

00:00:37.154 --> 00:00:39.198
just to go at it.

00:00:42.355 --> 00:00:46.387
But I was kind of worried about being an artist

00:00:46.669 --> 00:00:50.795
That was.. the only thing I felt I could do was draw and paint

00:00:50.952 --> 00:00:53.907
and it was the only thing I wanted to do

00:00:54.004 --> 00:01:00.193
and yet for some strange reason I think I felted it was no use to society
