So...yes. I havent posted in a long time, so I mgiht as well do it now.
Im in Minneapolis, attending MCAD and kinda enjoying it. I cant tell if I am or not. Its probably somewhere in the middle. My classes are good, they make me think and realize all kinds of new information about art. But, just because they're good doesnt mean I enjoy them. My pbservational drawing class is by far the hardest and least enjoyable. Im thinking that an A for a class like this at UAF would probably account for a C or something here. So I feel pretty inadequate in the class, and kinda foolish for even being there. The teacher's pretty harsh too, so that doesnt help. Thankfully its only once a week--but the class is 6 hours long!
We have a critique tomorrow on a piece we were supossed to work 5 hours on. which I did, but I still feel its lacking but if I mess with it more, it'll turn out even crappiers. boo.
I think I can just brace myself and take it tomorrow, its not like Im that attached to it. >.>
lets see, my other studio classes (illustraton and comic one) are pretty good. Illustration might be kind of tough because we have to do all our work in class (for instance, this week 7 illustrations from scratch in 6 hours...uhg!) but the homework s pretty easy. and my comic class is REALLY interesting, and fairly enjoyable at the same time.
other then the studio classes, i just have two art histpry classes, that are pretty good.
le'see...OH YEAH! art supplies are EXPENSIVE!!!! SooooSoSoSoooo much money! I have to find a cheap brush for tomrrows class but the art store only has good ones...poop.
my roommate is nice :) she owns lots of pretty things that Im going to try and not get paint/charcoal/ink on. We'll see how that goes.
Thats it really, I've been reading and plaing Zelda a lot. theres not a lot on campus and Im not keen on walking around at night, seeing as theres a high crime rate in this neighborhood. Lots of good food only a couple blocks up, but Im going to have to meet people who like eating out and ethnic food and so far I've met no one of the sort. I should save money and just eat my mac n cheese anyways. :*(
if you want my address, just let me know and I'll give it to you!! I think most people have it, but maybe not...
thats all i think! I hope everyone is doing well! :D
