4 Days of Structure-less School Work

Yeah, spring break started today and I am sooo glad. I still have work, but that's fine. I'm just glad I don't have any assignments due on Monday.

Actually Monday is going to be my relax day since I work and have school 24/7 and can never ever stop.

But yes. This semester is ridonkulous. When I'm not slaving away at 16-page typography-based books, I'm taking black and white photos and working on online classes and studying art history for 7 hours.

Actually I've managed to catch up considerably in the last week just in time to be able to chill for a while.

My book is looking a lot better than my plans did in the beginning. The professor did enjoy coming over to the computer and hiding my images to see how interesting my text was though. It was sort of irritating, but my text was super boring, so I'm glad that was pointed out sooner rather than later. I've basically surrendered myself to the learning process and have relaxed enough to encourage any feedback I can get to help me out.

So we'll see what happens in the next week when I try to execute what I was told to do.

Here's a sneak peek of what is to come!

A bar graph made out of thread!

A map of New York!

...Very intriguing!

Photography is pretty cool, though. As always. We're shooting in black and white and have to do a 6-photo narrative. I sort of have an idea worked out, but it's not ready for the public!

But here's a practice shot I took while messing around trying to think of ideas!

Mysterious!

And a kitty!

Oh, I finished my first photography project. It's in my gallery.

Graphic design was updated too.

Luckily for me, the art building is open during spring break, so a friend and I shall be going in to finish our metals projects. She has a whole lot less to do than I do, but that's only because I beat mine so hard trying to get it to do what I want that it basically died and I want to start fresh. So my forged bowl is basically all I have now. Also we'll see on Tuesday just how much metal I have left and what I actually have to work with. But I do have an awesome game plan, so hopefully it will go smoother than last time. (Sometimes advise from professors makes things sooo much easier on you! Who knew?)

But yes. I would work on metals in my garage, but I do not have the means to fill up my acetylene tank, so all my stuff is just kind of sitting there. Oh well!
