My overall GPA is 3.58 (darn those two drawing classes that netted me Cs!)

This semester my GPA was 3.74.

Tuesday's class--> B+
Wednesday's class--> A
Thursday's class--> A

Additionally, because this was one of the few semesters where I was considered a full-time student, I also made the President's Honour Roll. Woo!

My last Thursday class was tough. I was so exhausted-I stayed up too late and got up too early-and when my turn came around, I kind of flubbed the delivery. But, the semester is done like dinner. Time to put a fork in it ;-D. I just have one assignment to hand in and that’s it. I’ll be back next week to drop off my piece(s) for the grad show and ( Read more... )

So hard I could barely whip together a proper post on my art journal!

Tomorrow I'm going to work on something less taxing. Pulping paper is an all-day affair.

Thankfully today is my Friday off and I could sleep in this morning. I'm going to need all the time to finish my homework to my degree of satisfaction. You can catch up at http://purpleponyart.livejournal.com

LOL, this weekend's movie for Monday's class is a breeze--Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 movie The Birds. I watched it as a child but don't remember much. I may have gotten bored and switched the channel too. It is very loosely based on Daphne du Maurier's book which is more about the Cold War compared to the movie. The movie still makes a great case for ( Read more... )

Here’s a view of the Fibre home studio from my desk. Everyone gets a grey metal desk and a bright green locker, which will be quite handy to have as a place to sit and store projects and supplies. Even though I rented a locker in the past, schlepping everything back and forth is still a lot of work! It’s also nice to feel like part of a community, ( Read more... )

I thought I was presenting my homework today, but it turns out that it's next week. My instructor had computer problems and it shifted everything by a week. However, that didn't stop my brain from spinning out of control.

I was legit flailing around in bed this morning because I had a dream that I was back in junior high, taking a test about comic ( Read more... )

I can't believe that today's class put us in Week 8. It's that weird part of the school year where everything suddenly goes too slow and too fast at the same time. Our major assignment for this class is an essay, which is due April 1st (haha) as April 2 is Good Friday.

I was hoping to get my mid-term grade, but that's not quite ready yet. The ( Read more... )

My instructor jokingly called the mid-term the point of no return--you know that part in a story or movie where there's no going back. There wouldn't be much of a story or movie if we didn't have mitigating circumstances.

I suppose it's fitting that the point of no return marks character growth! There were three parts to the exam--a few ice breaker ( Read more... )

Here's my first project for ACAD310, my only studio class this semester. Yesterday's critiques went well. It was very dense and after a while, people were starting to get tired. Three hours of examining, questioning and listening to art was exhausting. I'm glad I went first. My clock was well received and some of the questions revolved around the ( Read more... )
