My Wednesday
Wednesday. 9.12.07 11:18 pm
Meh, I guess no one really cares about Nick. I sort of wonder what happened to him... Renaye wants to hear about Nick! Renaye, I will write about him soon ^_^.


Well, today was fairly eventful even though I only had one class. In the morning, I went to graphic design. We have a new project where we are supposed to make a statement about politics or something with both a flag and an icon. Today we were supposed to share our ideas, so basically it was democratic rheotric 101. I don't think anyone really cares about politics, so they all cling to whatever is most obvious. I wanted to say something about how people talk to much, but it just won't fly. "You mean you're against free speech?" "Well sort of, it's just... I want people to... you know, use restraint?" "But what if someone said that you couldn't say what you wanted to say!" "Sometimes I DON'T say what I want to say" like now... like always. I am very good at keeping my mouth shut. I'm the only one.


Actually, that brings me to another thing that happened in Graphic class: my group member got in a fight with our teacher. ::Slams head against wall:: We were trying to make a little girl figure and put the power symbol in it, you know: Girl Power. Not much, but we really liked the idea. My teacher wanted us to do more so the guy suggests that we talk about the pay disparity (compared within occupations. I think women are paid about the same when you compare totals.) So the teacher tells us to look at it a little more closely and then talk to her again. We come up with this idea with buttons, which I thought was REALLY COOL! I mean all I wanted was girl power memorbila, like I said, I'm not really for Saying stuff. So we bring up the idea and our teacher is basically like, "I think the buttons should mean something if you're going to have buttons." What she said was though, was a combination of "You don't have to go that far." and "Why do you want to have the buttons?" Our response was, "Well... why shouldn't we have the buttons?" This, in varying forms was bantered back and forth until our teacher, rigid and stern and the guy in my group, leaning forward and shaking his head, had increased to a volume at which we can safely say a fight had broken out. Now, being me, I kept of trying to moderate the conversation, subsequently translating and reflecting for the sake of both parties. I'm not an expert though, and the whole thing was growing more and more out hand. In the end, everyone involved felt a little damaged by it. I wish there hadn't been a fight. Luckly, I finally parceled out what she wanted from us and threw together a new idea. It will actually be easier and, admitedly, a little more direct than the first one. I still wish I could have one those buttons, but heck, it's a job. I get paid in grades. She's getting EXACTLY what she wants, if I can manage it. Besides, maybe I'll sell the other idea online somewhere. Suggestions?


After that I ate and then went to my room to cool off. I was rocking out to "I'm not who I was" by Brandon Heath when I heard a knock on my door.


"Who is it?" I called. It was Heather. She was coming over to study. She's a pretty cool person. I know her from the dorms: she was on my floor for the past two years. We managed to finally get through all of our notes before her meeting, at least I hope so. I feel like I might have kept her over.


After that I went over to the Union and got myself a new sketch book for the croquis[kroh-kee or kraw-kee], live figure drawing, later that day. I stopped by the poster sale but decided that if they were going to charge 20$ for a poster I was so going to buy it from DeviantArt. They have some that I have wanted to buy, but I've been too cheap to get them.


Then there was the Art Pinic. I made an appearance. I got to talk to my other group member and a guy from ASIC. I haven't been to ASIC in a semester and I quit chinese X/ Luckily he didn't ask me why I dropped off of the face of the earth. I heard some new gossip about the art program, filling in a couple gaps I had on why certain teachers left and about new teachers that replaced them. The teachers stood up and introduced themselves, too, so that was even more useful. People talk about so-and-so in the printmaking studio or such-and-such in ceramics and I'm like "...?" So it was good to put faces to names.


I also saw the cutest dog! I'm not sure what her name was, but she's apparently supposed to be pregnant. Those will be some cute puppies. She is a papillion/lhasa apsa mix. It was so funny, I was like "Is that a papillion mix?" The ears were a dead giveaway. The owner looks up at me as though I was some kind of fortune teller. "Yes... She's Papillion/Lhasa Apsa" The father of the puppies are supposed to be shi tzu. She seemed to think the puppies would look crazy, but the truth is that the Lhasa Apsa and the Shi Tzu have very similar lineage and definitely confirmation. I took me a couple of months to work out the difference between them: the Lhasa Apsa is actually a lot bigger and usually has heavier hair than the Shi Tzu. An easier way to tell is that the Shi Tzu is shown with a top not while the Lhasa Apsa is not. The papillion is not quite so similar, but it only gives the dog a little more of a foxy look, and who can resist those butterfly ears. I tried to explain some of this to her and then realized that all the junk coming out of my mouth must sound like a foreign language. Eh, I know a lot about dogs.


The last event of the evening was going to the croquis. I went in and started talking to a girl. She's from the tech school across the way. She is becoming a professional boxer right now in the heavyweight class. She was our live model. This was the second time I had drawn a live figure, formally, and the first time I had ever drawn a nude model. It really isn't as strange as it seems. Drawing really isn't like normal seeing. The stare of an artist is unusually focused and somewhat disconcertining, but, as an artist, you aren't really looking at the person per-se, it's more like you are looking at hundred of little pieces of information within that figure. Oh, this shadow is walking over here, this eyebrow runs along here, these eyelashes don't actually look like eyelashes, they look like they are a part of the shadow that is up there. You check quickly back and forth, trying to make sure that everything lines up. The iris that you were drawing flicks towards you and the eyebrow that you just finished puckers inquisitively. You look back at your drawing and wait for them to go back to where they were. I have two full drawings of her that I might show you all later, but I don't feel like scanning them right now. The two guys and the girl that were also drawing did some really amazing drawings, actually a lot better than mine XD, but I can't show you those.


And so I end my day, here again with you, dear reader. The music taps it's beats into my brain, the keys tapping a beat somewhat similar. I look at the letters on the page, thinking about which ones I should leave and then decide, that I am ready to go to bed. Goodnight.

Gah, long entry! But it's okay because you at least know how to divide it up into parts. :P

I dunno anything about dogs, so all those names confused me. :S

What is Graphic class? Do you just draw stuff that's supposed to be a symbol for something?

For this project, yes. As I understand it, Graphic Design is the study of all art that is used for commerical purposes: packaging, posters, business cards, websites, folders, all of those sorts of things.
