Table Arrangement Gone Bad

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 ;)

T.G.I Fridays

The end of the first week and I exhausted… I feel like I am going to be so much worst at this semester than the last one just because I’m not doing home work when I’m given. And the classes this time are not a joke like last time… Well maybe it’s just my first impression.

Anyway, my first class today was Drawing 2. Feel confused? Yes I felt so too. I didn’t take drawing 1 but apparently 3D is enough. The problem is that I never had professional training at drawing and the instructor was already started to ask questions about what we do or do not know. Well I didn’t know most of the things, And on top of all that we had a long list of things to buy for this class… Again, I’m trying to convince myself that it was only the first class and it will be better. Plus if I got accepted to FIT that means that I have some kind of talent, don’t you think so?

He let us go early because we didn’t have anything to do, since no one brought anything to class. I had enough time between than to studio to do my AutoCad home work. It took me a while but I did it on time, less things to do at home.

When we got to Studio the instructor showed usĀ  power point slides about our first project and than she went between us to see our progress. I thought about a concept that is something about traveling, or trips or something like that. I was surprised but she liked it and said that I have a good start, or was she just being nice? Anyway she also let us go early.

Now I’m racing to finish this post because we are going to my BF’s dad for a Friday meal. Oh yeah and by we I meant me, my boyfreind and my brother. I know, I forgot to mention that he is staying with us for a while, nothing seriouse just came to visit. So, have a nice weekend and I guess we’ll meet again on Monday, Chauu :D
