I figure I might as well slowly add stuff here until I get off my ass to scan in my new shit. That's why digital's so great: it's right on the compy and you don't need to scan and color correct.This is a very stressful semester, but I'm getting so much knowledge from four of my classes. In my Pictorial Background class, I'm learning to paint with acrylic. FINALLY. I first used acrylic senior year in high school, and, while I loved my teacher, he didn't teach me how to use it. Allie showed me how to water it down to use it like watercolors, but that was as far as I got. And I think I had the worst teacher for Beginning Painting. Acrylic is hard, but I think I'm picking it up quickly.
Next class is Life Drawing B, where we paint from life using oils. Oils are a bitch to work with, but I hope I can conquer them by the end of the semester. Basically I just want to learn to paint because those are the illustrations that get bought. =3
Then there's Animation B, which I'm making an animation with my little dragon/raptor/t-rex/lizard in it. His name is Steve. I'd post a picture of the turnaround, but as I was animating him, I realized it was better to give him a bigger head. So he's actually more proportionally closer to my first turnaround sheet in Intro to Animation.
I also have Intro to Dance. How does this help? Well, I get to exercise a bit each week and understand movement more. It's fun and there's no real homework.
The other class that I don't find useful is Renaissance Art. I guess I love looking at art and recognizing styles of artists, but I fail to see the importance of MEMORIZING the date, medium, location and building. I'm better at learning facts if I can apply it to something outside of class, but I fail to see how that's possible with Art History. =\
I'll try and keep the zero people who read this updated with any new stuff I have, but for now I'll try and upload some stuff here and get a DECENT website.
