chantico*pokes head out of hidey hole*
Words have not been coming easily to me this summer, and so I have not been updating a whole lot. Things have rearranged themselves quite throughly in my life. I don't think I'm the same person at all that I was at the beginning of the summer, as uneventful as it seemed to be. So much happened, but all of it underneath the surface, like water working it's way through caves, carving new spaces.
I have something new, and something back, like a ball of energy and power in my solar plexus again.
In terms of daily life, my class schedule this year actually looks pleasing. There exists nothing on my plate that is not directly art or art history related, which pleases me, because if I actually do my wor this semester I should be earning good grades and enjoying myself. I'm not absolutely keen on the history of Public Art class, but it will be an interesting oppurtunity to explore things like grafitti and installation work, which has always piqued my curiosity. Likewise with Sculpture. I actually liked my 3D fundemental the best out of all of the Bootcamp Three (F100, F101, and F102), drawing included. There is something meditative about working very carefully with your hands on something artistic. I am hoping that I'll get to do some more work with clay and plaster, both of which I really liked. They're really tactile, and both substances feel good to work with. Maybe I'll get to do some metal working, too, which would be very very awesome.
I'm most exited about my digital art class, which is also a crash course in dreamweaver and website building; my drawing class, which this time around is actually going to focus on watercolors (whee!), and my Renaissance Florence art history course. SQUEE ITALY. I hope we get a good portion on architecture. I love me some architecture.
My new apartment is hella snazzy, even if it is very small. It looks *nice*. It looks *homey*. I have a *bed*. These are all such wonderful, foriegn things! I think I shall have a small get toegther/food thing/movie watching thing there sometime soon, once I have finished decorating it fully.
