we're smarter than you guys! :P

Now I can feel how art students and engineering students are different.

We had a congratulating party for our seniors yesterday after graduation ceremony. The party was made by the youngest class which is my class, 2010. Well, the party was failed. But I did have an unforgettable moment on the welcoming of the graduates. It was true that we, art students, are brutal.

On the welcoming, each majors stood in each row, with their own preparation and shouting their own yells. FYI, there are 9 engineering majors at Itenas, while there are only 3 art and design majors which are Product Design, Visual Communication Design, and Interior Design. And, compared to them our students are much less and half of them are girls, unlike them which is like 90% of the are boys. So, we were truly lose in amount and voice.

What interesting was it was we who gained attention from people. Yes, they were much louder. We were much more creative and smart, tho. More than 1000 engineering students in their own black organizational uniforms lifted their hand and shouted loudly. But, around 200 of us shouted with our costumes, we danced, we sang, we played music.

our "dancer"

Art and Design majors have always had tradition to be creative and out of ordinary. We always have our own themes for welcoming graduates party. This year my major Product Design took ALOHA, Visual Communication Design took Halloween, and Interior Design took Sundanese. We never care what people think about us. All we care is that we have fun.They might think we are crazy, impolite, unethical, and stupid. But, right there, we proved who were smarter.

Visual Communication Design students

We at first shouted at the same time the engineers shouted. And the result was as what we had expected, we lose. So, we had our own strategy. We sat, and shut our mouth when engineers shouted without taking a glance on them. When they were taking breath, we shouted our yell as loud as we can, hit our drums and gamelan as hard as we can, danced as attractive as we can. As we started to get tired we would sit again and let them shout. We would shouted again when they started getting tired.

And, what made it crazier is that we were not just shouting our yells. We read a PRAYER and sang NATIONAL SONGS loudly! It was great to see that they couldn't fight back and they just shouted "sampah sampah sampah". And we read another prayer and, again, they couldn't shout back! HAHAH!

leading the "choir"

That gave me conclusion, tho:
Engineering students have always been boasting themselves that they are intelligent, smart and logical. And looked down on Art and Design as a stupid, illogical, ignorant, and crazy people. But, in fact, we were much smarter and logical. Yes we are brutal, but we have the art of brutality and not conservative like engineers. We were just people who are blessed with perfection in the balance of imagination and logic, art and science :D
