Lately I have been really thinking. . .maybe I should be in an actual art school. . . For instance, I am in a drawing 3 class, that is also mixed with drawing 4 students. We did this project in the last two weeks. I was kind of interesting but I really suck at making statements and being really creative with finding out what to make the statement about. For one I really don't like to touch on politics that much, way to over done, especially in the "art world". But the project was all about the word resistance, be it sociopolitical, biological, or nature/physical. I was really at a loose on what to do, because we were supposed to challenge ourselves either with the materials we use or our physical process of actually doing the the piece. I ended up doing more of the physical challenge. My thing, concept, was hella weak and so overdone, but I really knew that I and I was not saying that I was original. But anyway I did this thing on ones mental resistance to the fake society, because I hate things like the tabloids and television, its all so freaking fake. The only tv I watch anymore is [adultswim] its my escape, hahaha, but yeah anyway that was my focus. I did the picture of a man in the atlas pose holding up a sphere, it was going to originally be a cube with different surfaces but that was not working out because of my small work space. Anyway, the man was really muscular and realistic looking while the collage in the sphere was full of things that looked more cartoonie and fake to drive the crappy point further. It was really cool looking because all I used was ink. and in the initial drawing, the sketch, I drew it while laying down on my back to hold the drawing board up while drawing the MOST painful drawing I have ever done. But yeah it came really cool looking, I was just nervous because I really was lazy with the concept. Okay now to the intial part of this long story, when we got to my piece for the critique, like everybody in this DRAWING 3 AND 4 class were so surprised that I did the whole thing free hand like it was an impossible task to come up with everything. The only thing that I did reference, but did not trace, was the Uncle Sam that was in the sphere, while drawing him I really realized just how CREEPY Uncle Sam actually is. . .really creepy. . .But yeah I just cannot believe taht people in this class were amazed by my drawing skills, I could understand if it was a drawing like 1 class, but no. . .It did really boost my ego also. . . :)

On other art news, in my handbuilding class, for ceramics, we have had basically three weeks to work on this project that was due yesterday. Me and like a couple other students were completely done with what we could have done before the first fire. Only one of my pieces was not done because I wanted to glaze it with majolica, so everything that was due for yesterday I was so on top of!!!! But over half the class only had AT LEAST one of their pieces almost done. and a lot of the people were not even finished with their first part. . .That is really sad, this is supposed to be an advanced class and like no one was on top of their work, plus we had 3 WEEKS, the teacher was a little disappointed. . .I would be too. . .


Well yeah not just those two stories have got me really thinking if I belong in an art school, but sometimes I feel as if I am wasting something here. And I know that I can always transfer, trust me I have considered, but I am pretty attached here and I guess I am almost done. Plus I have some really good friends here, couldn't leave Taylor and Whitney. . .when ever I think about all this it's like the same conversation to myself all the time. . .I will stay but I do not know what will happen next considering I really don't want to be an art teacher anymore. . .I am doing studio art now!

Who knows. . . NOT ME!!!!

I guess there is nothing more to say. . .I could talk about getting wasted with my sisters and Taylor on Saturday, but I won't, some things that were shared were a little embarassing. . .HAHAHAHAH me a geek. .
