Volunteer Orientation at HSSC

Image
Hi Mom. I may have mentioned last month - to you and Jason mostly - that I sent in an application to volunteer at the Humane Society of Sarasota County. It had been something I'd been thinking about doing since coming to Ringling, mainly because of the lack of animal socialization I receive living in a dorm on a college campus. When I started baby-talking to the local squirrels before winter break, I knew something needed to change. Then, Katy passed away. It's easy to not think about it, especially when I'm so far away and in a place I would never associate Katy with. Katy wasn't a part of my Ringling experience. She was the thing I got to see when I flew home for holidays/breaks. She wasn't here she was there...now she's...not. But now that she's gone I'd do anything to make it so she was. So, during my first week back from Winter Break, in the middle of a very dark, lonely, let's-think-of-every-awful-thing-that's-ever-happened kind of ni...

The First Semester

Image
Hi Mom. Sorry for the 4 week hiatus...the end of the semester has been stressful, chaotic, enlightening, exhausting and a million other things. Let us take a journey through a relatively average students's freshman fall semester in art school. Drawing 1/Perspective: Figure Drawing 1:  And then a series of unfortunate self portraits: My other classes consisted of Storytelling, Film and Narrative, and Intro to Theater: Elements of Plays. Our final project in Storytelling was a fully revised Short Story, which I will post on its own since it's quite long. Something I was hesitant about was told I could make it even longer because my classmates and teacher liked it so much. The main thing I learned this semester, aside from gradual building up my skills in drawing - I do feel the improvement and am very happy with my overall work and progress - is the fact that the person teaching you can make a ginormous difference. I'd a...

Putting Off Homework

Image
Hi Mom. I'm really not putting off homework, considering I have all weekend to do it - and I WILL start tonight, but I would rather be writing this post than doing it so...here I am. Today started 'early' (7:15) today with Figure Drawing which was a work out. The entire class we did sets of 10 two minute poses, a bunch of three minute poses and then what seemed like forever of 30 second poses. I was exhausted after, but I loved it. Spent lunch in the cafe in the Academic Center, and then read my book until my first Storytelling class, which I think will be kind of awesome. There will be lots of writing involved, but it's the best kind of writing: creative/fiction. The fact that I will not be writing about grammar and research essays, like I would have had I not dropped Writer's Studio, makes me very happy. My teacher is an interesting character for sure. He's relatively normal, as art teachers go, and he makes lots and lots of movie references, it's re...
