My Interior Design Blog

Hello everybody, I hope you didn’t miss me too much… Though I missed you a lot! I also missed my free time, things have been a little crazy and out of control lately. First of all as you may recall my brother is staying with me until march15. Than my cousin and his girlfriend visited us for about four days at the time I had to finish and present project 1 in studio. Can you imagine 5 people in an one bedroom apartment??? Yeah, it was tight.

In the time i was absent from this blog I had gotten my perspective drawing homework back, and I have to say that this guy, the instructor I mean is horrible. He doesn’t explain anything, he just says things that are theoretical, and than after getting back a C+, yeah a C+ can you believe? I never got anything like it in drafting before.. He says something about the line weight… Overall I just think he is very unpredictable in the way he grades..

Oh, and of course, how could I forget?? I had presented successfully I have to say project 1 in studio. I don’t have the project back yet, but when I will I’ll post some pics to show you the final result. The presentation itself wasn’t that bed.. I mean it was only for two minutes, it’s not possible to screw up in that amount of time. I think the visual presentation was good too, I’m not saying great or perfect, but I don’t think I deserve less than B+, who knows, maybe even A-…

By the way, I am typing this blog from my new laptop that mybrother and boyfriend got me for my B-Day. Well technicaly it’s not today and not tomorrow, but somewhere in between, so I get two days of celebration since I’m a leap year baby Next real B-Day 2012…

Good evening everybody, I hope you are having a nice weekend, because I know mine is not going to get better and it wasn’t so good in the first place. Nothing terrible has happened but I have a lot of H.W. and not a lot of time to do it. Nothing major had happened during those days I wasn’t around except yesterday.

Yesterday was Friday of course, and I had drawing and studio2. well the drawing part was weird, I mean the instructor tolled us to place some things on the table and start drawing them with ink. Now, my problem wasn’t only that I have never drawn still life before but I have never used ink. It started slow, didn’t know what exactly to do, I started looking around at other peoples work, or at list how they do it. I realized ink is not so different from watercolor, so I started wetting the areas I wanted to concentrate on and it turned out not so shabby.

After drawing I had studio, we have been tolled to bring sketches of our table arrangement and if we had time to render them (not good rendering though, just indication of color). Well I brought two sketches, and was so confident about them… We had the pinup and my turn was third before last. Oh, I was so wrong!!! now I need to seat back on my drafting board and figure out a new table arrangement. Well actually the table arrangement itself wasn’t that bad, it was good actually, it’s the composition that screwed me over. No worries though, I will pick up my broken ego and start again. Actually I’ll start right now. If you have any comments about my sketches or ideas, I’ll be more than happy to hear them

Good evening everybody? How was your day today? Well for me it started pretty early. I was suppose to start school today at 12:10, but after finding out last night the requirements for the English comp I didn’t really want to stay in that class. Yeah, I know, I already switched the English section ones, but there are so many section, I knew one would feet me perfectly. So, I arrived to FIT at 8:55 this morning and waited for the Registration Office to open. As soon as it did I changed my English section to a different one that begins at 9:10. It was great! the instructor is so nice and even though I wasn’t in the previous class I could participates the discussions and it wasn’t boring at all, like people say “third time is a charm “.

I had than three hour break which I thought I would utilize all of it for doing my perspective homework. But I had a little change of plans… I decided to drop the Pencil Rendering class, not because it’s not interesting or anything, but because it is such an easy class that I would probably prefer taking it on my fourth semester when I have a lot things to do, and this one would be an easy A. The second reason I chose to drop it is that I would have enough credits to take the Professional Practice class. Now, this class is open ones in two semesters, because there is a continuation to it, so if I would have not taken it now I would have had to wait until my third semester and the second part of it would be on my fourth one, which I really want to try and have as less class as possible. Plus, my studio instructor has expressed deeply her opinion about it. And when she does that it means that it’s more than suggestion, but some kind of obligation, so that’s what I did.

You know this days where nothing is for free, and when one has an opportunity to charge for something they do that? Well it append to me today and I was in shock! When I went to the registration office for the second time I saw on the bottom of my printout that they charge me 25$ What for? I asked, and when I protested and asked to speak with the super visor, they let me and everything went to place. But I just can’t believe after all the money I’m paying for tuition they are asking for more, for one add/drop action, that’s just unheard off!

After all the drama I did manage to do some drafting for perspective but not enough, I have a feeling I’ll be up late today. But no worries, coffee is my best friend now

Than my last subject today was Art History class. He was very nice again, The class is not that boring, (considering it’s still History…) And I learned a new word, but there is no way you’ll guess what it is… Well? any ideas? YOLK, yeap the yellow in the egg, don’t ask me how we started talking about it in a history class, but a word is a word, and I expand my vocabulary every single day. Back to history, he gave us a list of about 30 art works that we need to know the artist. year, and the name for a quiz next week. yes, my jaw dropped too, and all those names, for me they sound the same…

Oh well, it’s school after all even though it’s an art school we do some thinking sometime… And have a lot of alnighters, at list mostnighters (it’s a new term, made by me ) Good night all.
