Bluh

i picked flowers last year during lunch. i needed somewhere to put them so i made a vase.

Im so sick of this.
its the 4th week of school, and my thoughts about it are already becoming dull. people are dull.

Today there was a assembly, to discuss this years student government, somehow someone heard that the school was recieving money from some institution and that none of the students would be taking part of the decisions of where that money is going, so a few students put together this meeting. I was thinking about making some changes in the school, at least physically, like cleaner walls, toilet paper in the bathrooms, materials. But now that there are people thinking about it im not really interested anymore. it should be the other way around. but i rather come up with the idea and have other people assess me, other than join a huge group and struggle to get my ideas through, plus be somebody elses little errand runner. fuck that, i guess its my lazy nature.

i know i want to go somewhere, but i dont know exaclty where, and right now i dont know how to get there.

i really need help.

with everything.

shitty weekend

3d Project Part 2

After filling up the tray i had to pick out a few leaves and shells. i have to replicate them on the surface, i cant carve in, so it has to look like its just sitting there, and not sinking into the tray. i started the leaf today, my back hurts so much, i cant concentrate when im sitting down so im standing for 3 hours. One great thing about this class is that you do "sculpture" and sauna at the same time, there is no circulation of air whatsoever. And the smell is just so pleasant. (this is me being positive)I picked one of these, i dont remember which. They all kind of look the same.

This is the view from the stairs, from the drawing and art history bulding, by building i mean two floors and like 10 rooms, the whole campus just feels like a farm (theres a family of cats roaming around). the white building in the background is where i take 3d, i sit right across that window to the left. And on the center of the picture theres a sculpture that, im assuming, was inspired by Degas, im assuming.

This is the main building seen from the gate. I didnt take this picture, it was borrowed from google some time ago so idk the link.


I want this all to go by really fast. All this begginer shit, getting to know your space and your tools. belhhhhhh puke on it.
I want to move closer to the school, its just too far away, the bus took about half an hour to come today and then it takes me an hour to get home. At least i have one air conditioned class to look foward to. (because my teacher is a girly girl and couldnt stand the heat)

Today

i finally got it super smooth like it should be. i work very slowly, i found out.

not so busy month, yet.

i made a headband.

First 3d Project: Process

Step 1- I had to buy a wooden board for this project. My teacher, Paulo, said we could ask this guy named Chico to make us one for 10 reals. When he said this, he pointed to what seemed at the time to be across the street from the school. After walking around the whole block trying to find a small woodshop where a guy named Chico worked, i ran into this girl that had already bought hers. She took us to Chico, and he was literally right where the teacher pointed to. Theres a little room right across the classroom, apparently he lives and works inside the school. So after i had the board, i put a garbage bag over it (to protect the wood from water, im guessing), and then put the nails in (i havent touched a hammer since 9th grade).

After that i had to begin applying the clay, this took me about 1 hour to get into it, at first i was trying not to get it into my nails. A few hours later i realized that was impossible and i had to stop being such a girl. I got shit all over my hands, ohh and the best part is we cant get clay in the sinks so if we have clay on our hands we cant wash it off in the sink!. So i did what everyone does in a situation like this, i waited till the teacher left the classroom and then washed my hands. i know its horrible and the sink is probably going to start flooding in a few weeks, but as a student i have every right to demand a healthy working enviroment . hahThis is after i applied the first layer of clay. It was a huge work out.

Art College or College for Artists?

The right answer is: Art College. i have met only one person so far that claims to be an artist. The rest arent even there yet. Most of them dream of being manga cartoonists or wathever. I say its just a phase, as soon as all the enchanting magic of art hits them in the face, theyll rethink that crap. I hope, because it's just sad.

First day of 2D:
Sketch from observation (geometric shapes) , how to center a drawing and measure its proportions.

my scanner cut off some parts, bleh. but it is pretty centered. and i got some angles wrong. repeating all this crap isnt so bad, it gives me time to relax.
By the end of the semester we'll be doing still life. Omg apples and pears yay! No, seriously, im pretty excited. Maybe.
I'm just glad im back in the field, and this time its for good.
