Graduation?!

So being an Art education major, you could basically say I am double majoring. Rarely do Art majors ever graduate in 4 years (from what I hear). So I sat down with my advisor yesterday to figure out exactly what I had left to take and so on. I was ECSTATIC to hear that it would be possible to graduate in four years!! I sat down today to double check and figure out my schedule for next semester, and realized that she left out a couple classes AND the summer classes I had hoped to take may or may not even be offered.

Total and complete disappointment.

ugh....

However, on a brighter note--Painting is going SO well!! We're working on a painting right now in pairs (two ppl sharing a still-life) My friend Tracy and I are doing a painting of a patent leather high heel shoe, a slowly rotting nectarine (not part of the plan...), a pear, and a round hat box with a wine bottle on top. The catch is we can only use variations of red and green (the complimentary colors we chose). Wow, is it interesting!

As for Photo class, I feel so inspired!! I haven't done much of anything new lately, just mainly trying to learn my way around the darkroom, but we had a critique today and just being able to observe what others are discovering and listening to Cathy (the instructor) speak about the various parts of the photograph that I would otherwise never have noticed. The assignment I'll be working on tomorrow is Movement....I'll keep ya posted ;)

Way to go girl! There is so much of a picture that most people never see, but after this you will never look at a photograph the same way.
I taking a class at Mitchell on photoshop and I find out how little I knew about it. Never stop learning!!
