Classes

Classes are going really well but I did drop out of one; Anatomy for Artists.  The amount of drawing required with my other courses was just not doable.  I was behind by the end of the first week.  I am loving my Graphic Design and Typography classes.  We had to do a paper and presentation last week on a designer.  I had chosen David Carson.  I rocked it!  I created a multi-media AVI file with his work and added an audio track.  He's a surfer as well so I used a song by Fallout Boy.  It came out great.  I also had 3 short movie files that I had found on the Internet and I brought one of his books in as well.  Todd, the adjunct who teaches it, was very impressed and I felt so good when it was over.  I knew it had gone well.  David Carson presentation

A new semester

Classes start again on Tuesday. I dropped two of my classes that would have been on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I don't have to go in until 2:15PM. I will be there early because I want to add an online art history class to my schedule. I'll still have 5 classes if I do that. It's going to be a busy semester but I will keep in mind that graduation is getting closer all the time as I go through this. I still need to take a lot of basic art classes like pottery and sculpture. Those will be fun and I'm looking forward to them. I'm actually hoping to take one of them this summer but only if it doesn't conflict with the vacation I have planned for me and the kids. We are spending a week in a beach house on the CT coastline. We rented it four years ago and it was fantastic. I can't wait to go again. It's a combo Christmas gift for both kids and graduation gift for Nicole but one that I get to enjoy as well. It's going to be the carrot dangling out ahead as I get work through this semester.
