Fish Bellys

Pregnant Fish Belly I

So, when I had my critque I felt like I got nothing. Pretty much 3 people said, more detail, more value, and that's about it. And, my professor is an idiot, he just waits until other people say things and then says what they say. So, he sucks and yeah, I wish I had more feedback on my work.

Back to it

School is back in session and I can't be happier. I feel as though I am super lucky and that everyone else is missing out on my major. All I do is play all day it seems and learn about really exciting things and create stuff. I feel like I shouldn't be getting credit for having so much fun, when so many other people complain about their majors and classes and whatnot. Now, I do actually have to study for art history classes, but still, it is a small price to pay for being really happy with where I am and with what I want to do with my life.

Over the summer I took a one a week ceramics class at and art center and learned more and I am getting better. Its tough work really, and challenges me, and I get frustrated, but it is also calming and I feel as though I have accomplished something great.

I am taking a class where I get to see all the behind the scenes fun stuff and get down and dirtier. (Though I am always dirty after class) I think my ceramics classes will be fun and definitely challenging, so many projects, but it will be fun too.

long time no see

Its been awhile since I have done anything really. I needed a small hiatus, and have been stressing about money and whatnot. I am ready to start making art again, only a week or so until I start my pottery class at the Firehouse. I really needed to get another job, but then I would have no time for anything else, from art to time to myself to time doing nothing or reading. So, in a sense I truly need more money, but not at the expense of myself. If all I did was work, I would never get any artwork done. But, I have put up more pieces where my ceramics link is on the right, and I have completed my art myspace for now.

you've got it

Tony Tiger has said one thing to me that shows he might be more insightful than I thought. Maybe it was a fluke. Too bad it didn't come in time for me to like him or give him a good teacher review. He had given me a high B because I don't push myself enough. He told me that I've got it, I just never truly complete something and I could do more. This is a competitive world, and I've got what it takes, just not the drive I suppose. Which looking back on this semester of drawing is true. I have experimented more than I thought I would, but nothing more than that. I just wish he had told me at the beginning instead of the end of class. I can do another drawing and I will, this time actually trying. Though, not entirely happy about it I understand. I suppose I can't just glide through on not trying, eh?

last days

I have been creating and getting things back, I just haven't taken pictures of everything or anything yet. I think I will get around to that later today since I don't work until 6 with nothing else to do today. I plan on working on my drawing for drawing class, this time I am trying ink, I have tried something different everytime. Which is good, since I don't work with other mediums often. Only one more week left. I did purchase a few watercolors to play around with this summer. I hope to be catching up on painting since I won't be able to do ceramics, though I still hope to take a class at Firehouse, we'll see.

last day of wet work in ceramics was today, which is really weird. It always seems like it goes by so fast, and the end of the semester comes so quickly, especially for the art school, we get out much earlier than the rest of the world. I think I will miss it over the summer, maybe if there is a ceramics class at the firehouse I will take one. Plus, I don't want to get too rusty.

I've almost finished my drawing for drawing class, it was supposed to be on a theme with my other piece I did, but in the end turns out, I don't think they relate at all. Maybe they do, I have no idea.
