All the local schools systems are closed. I guess they were worried about getting the kids home because there wasn’t any snow out there when I got up. It is starting to really come down now…
Wow, ask and you shall receive! The automated system just called Owens is closing at 11:00 which is when my class begins!
I have a day to catch up! I’ve been struggling this whole semester. Sure, I only have two classes but they are both taught by the same crazy woman. Her classes are jam packed with information, projects, homework and tests. She is by no means perfect, but she means well and is genuinely trying to prepare us for working in the graphic art industry but her classes wear me out.
Typically, every class has lecture time and some lab time, homework is one or two chapters to read with questions and there is always some kind of design project. For projects she usually wants 25 or more pencil thumbnails, at least 3 or more color roughs –they have be complete enough someone else could take them and put them on the computer- and the project.
What I think wears me out though is trying to do things in her artistic style. She keeps talking about using these pieces in our portfolios but I don’t usually end up with pieces I’m all that in love with, they’re good but I don’t feel like they express my style. If I put them in my portfolio they won’t be reflective of my style. I don’t know to explain why that is important, if you have to have portfolio then you understand, if not I don’t know what to tell you.
Well suppose I should get to work before people realize I’m not “busy” today and decide I should be doing other thing.
