my little bird flew away from me
My last drawing class was yesterday. I am sad it is over. The atmosphere in that class was incredible. So many wonderful, talented, relaxed people and directed under one of the best drawing professors I have had. All good things must come to an end eventually though, it would seem.
The lovely Hanna. She drew the wonderful drawing shown in the first photo.
We also recently did an art trade and I am thrilled by the amazing piece she gave me.
A blurred out bit of Gavin's face, queen Lady Meghan [she calls all ladies lady], and Hanna.
Meghan, and Sarah. It's odd, in every photo I took of Meghan she had her hand to her mouth for one reason or another. She doesn't normally, though.
She also usually wears a cute dress. It is rare to see her in jeans on a Wednesday.
Daniel looking a little sad, but he was just drawing...or reading. He always looks intense.
The awesome Lana. I also have ceramics with this great gal.
Marianne putting the finishing touches on her project.
The cute and somewhat shy Bonnie.
Adrian, our prof, during a crit. I sneakily took this, or maybe he noticed and didn't care.
The lovely and ever helpful Sarah.
There are many other great people in this class who I did not photograph on this roll of film for some unknown reason.
For our last class we had to bring in an accessory. I made these little 'medallions' which I got laminated. I wish I had had time to make more.
I think I will make more anyway because some people who wanted one didn't get one.
And this photo is, well, random. It's from November when I helped my friend Laura out with a photoshoot.
Jeepers, that film was in my camera for a long time.
Also, I am incredibly relieved because I registered for my courses this morning and got into everything I wanted! Here's my schedule at the moment [may change a bit in the future].
It's great because for once I don't end past 5:30pm and I think that will really help me become an earlier riser. Next school year I am hoping to be on a regular sleeping schedule, where my usual time to get up will hopefully be around 8-9am.
The Courses:
Art Theory: Provides all Studio Arts students with a comprehensive set of professional skills that they will require to practice their art once they graduate. Some of these are, for example, grant writing and making submissions to alternative and commercial galleries. In addition, the course will examine, in depth, the politics, economy, and sociology of various "artworlds" in which the emerging artists may find themselves working in. I so direly need this course.
Painting 400: An advanced painting course. So far the best part about this class is that Rhonda and Emily signed up for it as well. I hope we get a good prof, sucks that we won't know until later.
Drawing 499a: An advanced special topics drawing course. The topic for this course is narrative, lyrical and drawings dealing with memory, etc. I think this is my favorite area in drawing, and this course has win written all over it. Adrian will be teaching it and Gavin, Meghan, Sarah and Lana have also all signed up for it so it will be almost like drawing 300 over again but maybe even more awesome.
Photography 210: students investigate and examine the numerous aspects of photography’s complex history, aesthetics, and processes, as well as different camera and darkroom techniques specific to colour photography. Students learn how to control the camera, expose film properly (transparency and negative), develop good printing skills in colour, and produce a coherent body of work. They should become aware of how colour contributes to the structure and meaning of photographs. Other topics include the history of colour photography and aesthetic and conceptual issues in the work of contemporary photographers. Yes! Finally a photography class.
I am also taking spanish and a communications course this summer for some free electives credits.
Anywho, have a great day everyone! I gotta help load a kiln and get my painting on. Maybe write a paper too.
