...MADNESS...
I have been taking a figure drawing class at the art academy and it is only until now am I really able to see the world, sure sure I had my lens-prospective, but focusing on each and every detail of every aspect of every object within your view finder is really incredible. having been more interested in drawing, taking close observation of everything I see sounds very appealing. ha I start conversations on nice tonal values between two different colored apples I see in the super market with my mother,FREAK I don't know I have always been interested in drawing but now I am a drawing-aholic I love compressed charcoal, conte crayons it's just amazing to me right now, I can't really explain it.
ok and now I stop. today was rather odd I spent most of my day talking to college representatives, The school of the Museum of fine arts, Boston seems to be my 1st pick of all the schools I've seen but we'll see how that goes. The school has an all elective curriculm, which means that each student pretty much makes up their own curriculm and decides their future from there on in. The coolest part is there are no grades, A,B,C,D,F they either pass or fail you, see at the end of a certain amount of time, two college advisors and two students review or critique your entire portfolio, the students don't necessarily have to know anything about your particular art form but their input is essential for decisioning whether you pass or fail. My first thought was oh no there's no way I could stand being under this pressure, but then I thought back to when I first started doing photography and I said "katie you set up a whole gallery after only being in the class for about two weeks, you will do fine, the self motivation is there." and it's not like I don't give myself a break here and there, Oh I make time for breaks. yea so I recommend this school to anyone who wants to step out of the box in a less traditional manner, Theo Bogen attended this school but sadly dropped out, and is now living happily as a so-called starving artist scrounging up enough cash for a bite to eat, ok maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but I have been meaning to talk to him about the school, If I can only find him, so if anyone knows where Theo is at this moment your information will be taken to heart, and i will buy you flowers, or candy, furry stuffed animals or whatever your little hearts desire.
oh and yes
