Update!!

So I'm kinda already over this semester and we're only five weeks in!!! I've been keeping busy with all my classes and three studio's is definitely pretty challenging. I'm always working on projects and at times i feel like I'm crazy, but surprisingly it's nice to always have something to work on after taking such a long break without producing much over the summer.

My painting class is going pretty well. I've spent a lot of money on it but I'm excited to get some projects done. I'm still working on the first abstract painting, which is very tedious. I just want to see it done but it's taking forever. last week was my first time working with oils. we did our a la prima paintings. it's a lot harder than i thought. i'm still unsure about it, but I'm looking forward to getting into an actual project with oils. here are my first two a la prima's.






My hand building class is going well too. i just finished our first project. we had to replicate jomon pots. we were provided images and had to make them at least 15 inches. somehow i had some issues and it ended up being like 20 inches. i used a whole bag of clay and it weighs about 25 pounds. it's the biggest thing I've ever made in clay and it was definitely a challenge. I'm pretty happy with the result, even though i hated a lot about it when i was making it. not as good as i wanted it to be but I'm excited to see it glazed.







My third studio is my drawing three class, which is unfortunately my least favorite of my studio's. we do nothing but draw objects. i have about 6 gestural drawings of a stapler, a wine opener, and a sea shell, and have even more to come. none of them are worth posting. we have an outside assignment which is slightly more interesting. we have to create a low relief still life and draw it. I've had it for about 3 weeks and it's due this Monday!!! i only have a little bit done, so that will definitely consume my weekend.
