The Next Four Years...

Today in my FYE class I got my first real view into the next four years of SCAD. These elusive later years of my life that seem so distant are brought right up to my face for me to try and create a plan around. It is shocking, but extremely exciting as the anticipation to take a class called "Digital Form, Space and Lighting" or "Concept Development for Animation" grows and becomes a closer goal.

Those are just two classes in a long list I am tentatively planning to take here. Taking them would result in a Minor in Technical Direction and a Major in 3D Computer Animation. 220 hours.

I got quite excited thinking about this so I ate some lunch and drew a chair.

The lesson was to visualize the chair as it's basic shape: a cube. Draw that, and work up. Also, we were to find the midline, top and bottom of the chair before we drew it.

I was pleased with my chair and hurried to class and found myself drawing PVC pipes. Later we went outside and drew the trees based on concepts we had used drawing the pipes.

Tomorrow I might be helping out some people from SCAD film a movie. I'm either an extra or if they need some help I told them I knew some technical stuff and would love to help. More on that later I hope!

October Begins With an "Oh"

So this past weeks has been good. I'm not sure when I last posted something but I figured I'd do something now before I forgot and the amount of things I had to talk about went through the roof. I saw the Atlantic Ocean for the first time this last weekend when I went to Tybee Island with some friends. There is a pier that extends out into the beach and the water and I walked up and down it a few times. Very pretty beach, very flat, very white fine sand. I was there during the dark but I think it would be even prettier during the day. It was nice to smell that reminiscent "ocean" smell after the smell of humid Savannah has become so everyday.
Worked on some drawings for both class and for out of class work. I'll take some pictures and put them up here later.

Wrote an essay for my composition class that I am posting up here as well. It may not be as interesting as the photos, but it's art and I thought I'd share it. Here!
