We have reached mid-term and Spring Break has begun.
I get a week of not driving to campus and back but I do have some homework.
This semester, so far, has been very stressful due to the quantity of homework AND the size of the assignments.
My grades are still good - in the A range though there are many assignments I am not enjoying and don't give it my all yet still get a high grade. It makes one one what it takes to not get an A??
Being in art classes, we don't really have mid-term or final exams; what we have is a larger project. Here's what I have for my three classes:
Studio 2: An animation, that's called a living drawing, using charcoal. Unlike a flip-book, it's all drawn/erased/changed on one piece of paper. It is very dirty and messy. I finished mine last week but cause I did not spend as much time drawing as I could have. BUT I had to spend over 12 hours de-skewing and aligning the images so the animation wasn't so jerky. because I finished the animation early, I have started on the next module which is Compositions; this is digital and physical collages. The first part is the digital compositions using open source imagery with Photoshop to assemble 4 different pieces. I have 6 ideas and have finished the first one. During the break, I will start to work on the second. I will post all when they are done
Beginning Drawing: I will have a portfolio review. This is where the teacher looks at my 30+ daily drawings (6 weeks x 5 days/per week) and I have to upload all the work we did in class. Again, there is one of the weekly drawings below. For the homework over break I am to do a few sketches of models, i.e. people, from an website that has these types of pictures.
These are to be timed - 2, 5 and 10 minutes; I might go Picasso on these since my skill in drawing life objects is horrible.
Core 2: Finish a photography assignment about the use of color outside the studio along with staging the scene. We have to submit 32 pictures - half are before we staged, the other half is the staged picture. I decided to use the Lalique vase we have with a bright LED light, in it along with 3 colored gels and I have taken the pictures of it in random places; it's slightly reminiscent of the 2001: Space Odyssey Plinth being in various places, again there is a picture below. For my homework, since we are moving into the next module of Typography, is to take 50+ pictures of everyday things with "text".
Besides the homework I have to do, I plan on relaxing, meeting friends for lunch or dinner, binding the Klimt quilts
