The first part of this film which has more to say about the art had an interesting effect on me like a drog. I felt the missing link from my art-life was connected now. I will never be the same as I was before. I was really spinning around. Started to be very creative, as never before. Couldn`t stop myself for long hours. Many different ideas came in my mind. I recognized myself with my struggles in my studies. What the film gave to me I considered the biggest breakthrough in my thoughts related to art.

To be brave, this is the secret for everything. To take the risk, to try out things just because of the present moment, to feel how is if I am doing this or that without being worried about the result. And being brave should be a life style of a real artist. If I am painting, drawing is common to try out different media but now  I am applying creativity in every moment of my life. I felt I am now an artist in 24 hours a day. I always liked to initiate things. This film inspires me to not worry about the outcome of my creativity just leave my creature and start something new.
Unfortunately when I watched the second part of the film I felt different. However as James Berardinelli says "Art School Confidential has a similar feel to Ghost World, although it is a self-contained story rather than a sequel." (reelviews, 2006)
