This past Tuesday, January 19th, I started my second semester of art school. I quickly learned that the 8 until 5 straight with no break of studios would be the death of me, so for the first time, I had to drop a class. I truly love my school, and these classes look amazing! Here's the lineup:
Photography: Black and White Film
I was actually dreading this class. Photography is my sister's area, not mine. I was fortunate enough that my mum had a Minolta X-700 tucked away, so I had my camera. But the idea of taking pictures and then messing with chemicals just wasn't appealing.
But I'm quickly realizing that I am beyond excited for this class. I can't WAIT to learn how to use the camera, and to develop my own film. I have so many ideas, and the possibilities seem endless. There is something so magical about approaching a foreign medium: no expectations, so no disappointment. Only pure curiosity and passion.
Beginning Oil Painting
I'm not a painter. I've touched acrylic only when I absolutely have to. The only time I've ever touched oil paints was when I was stocking them at the local Michael's. It's a scary thought, a very messy proposal. And while I'm a little apprehensive, I'm very curious to see how this pans out! Who knows, I may have found a new love.
High Renaissance Art
A total last minute decision to replace the dropped glassblowing class, I haven't attended this class yet. The description looks promising. Apparently the class covers Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, and Raphael. It seems like those are definitely three artists I need to know, and I do love Italy. And this class meets TWICE a week- No more three hour night class like last semester!
So I'll probably end up posting several photographs and paintings this semester, as well as catching this blog up with revisiting past works and past topics.
