color and design... back to the basics.

And so school appears to magically still going on although there are some factors that may make it fall apart...
I am in my first two art classes for the first time in years. I've taken some art history type of stuff... so a real art class again seems pretty daunting.
I am in color and design as well as drawing 110.
Our week one project was to illustrate works through lines.
It was a super difficult project for me to do...even more so because I thought I only had to turn in two but in fact had to do four. Surprise surprise.


'prayer' ^

'lyrical'^

'dynamic' ^

'angry' ^

We had to use lines that were in the class textbook, I found it more limiting on trying to make sense of a word with the use of line.
So there ya go.

in other news... when you do lots of school work you find more appreciation for the distractions you can find within a few feet parameter.
Exhibit A:

The Adorable Mylo, I love him and he loves me.
How do I know? Instead of sleeping in his comfy bed he'll come lay on the cold ceramic tiled floor just to be close to me while I work.

Exhibit B:



Other animals visitors. Some times when I come back to my little desk there are random things that are boring..like mail, dust, dog hair...
cute little chicks, are a fantastic distraction and they were on my desk for a while as well. I think there are Brahma mixed chickletts :)

Exhibit C:




Looking through old papers. This is one of the only drawings I did while at Red Fishy.
