First Day
I suppose I should write about it.
It was more or less Orientation. Talking to the director, and meeting the instructors and classmates. There are only about, I'd say.,..15...students...Well, less than 20 anyway. The instructors are cool. They are both men, I would probably feel more comfortable with a woman...like my art teacher Cathy, but you know my coach at UPS was a guy and I got along with him pretty good. Its not that I dont like male instructors, it's just that I get a bit nervous sometimes, lol. I know! I'm a wimp!!
We did the grey scale. Which I think is going to be a pain in all of our asses. They are going to drill that shit into us until we have it perfect. Which, I totally agree with. I'm not awesome with it, but I am an "ok". I practiced it last night while watching the news on CBC but I had such a bad headache that I had to go to bed at like...10-10:30.
I did minor homework. It was to create lines based on the emotion listed. For example, envy, or sensual. Then I had to choose a letter and draw it in those emotions. I of course chose A, for Amy :D or Andrew..^_^
I understand they tell us to do this kind of a "warm up" to stimulate our mind into thinking differently. But sometimes I feel like I'm better at the drawing than I am at the warm ups. But when I think about it, my drawing lately, sucks. Its not the image that is bad, its the way I press down on my pencil, and my shading is "ok"
Hence the reason why I am attending classes.
Sometimes I feel like because I am the oldest one there (probably by 5 or more years) that maybe people think I am there to improve on my hobby. Or that maybe I should know more than these students. I feel old aat times. I dont want to be looked up to because I am the oldest. I dont know shit about shit, but I also don't want to appear to be stupid, or someone who hasn't experienced the real world.
It's SO hard to explain.
Anyway. I need to take a showah, and get ready. Eat breakfast. I'm only about 5 min away, but I think I will show up about 20-15 min early. Set a good impression.
I also wish I couldn't see what he person next to me is drawing. I tend to look, and sometimes it isn't a good thing. If I am going to make a mistake, let it be my own...not me looking at someoen else, thinking I'm doing the wrong thing, changing to what they are doing, and get in trouble for doing the wrong thing when I was doing it right in the first place.
WOW run-on sentence!
Ok! I'll post later.
