Excuses, excuses...

Okay.. so , no. I haven't made my Rescue video yet. but was it epic? YES!!!!!!!

I'll write more on it when I actually edit the footage I took.
The reason why I haven't done it yet. Well, for the first time in a while I have a huge-mungus butt load of stuff to do.
here's the list
1) Pop-up book for Art History
pages include: The Venus of Willendorf, The Parthenon, (maybe) the Sphinx, and (hopefully) a Viking ship.
ALL in pop-up form. it's going to be epic.

2) I have to actually study for the Art History Final. So, I'm going to be brushing up on my Greek art from High classical all the way to Helenistic. Then comes the Romans, then comes Islamic art, followed by illuminated manuscripts and gothic cathedrals.

3)portrait of my friend in red conte for my fig studs class. I hate conte, but I haven't tried red before and I really want to. We're supposed to spend about 9 hours min on it. I'll probably draw her working, since she has a lot to do too. But I was going to make her Hermonie-esque anyways so her working is perfect!

4)group presentation in Foundations of Christian thought class. My group "started" a Christian clothing company named Zakiah. I was in charge of designs, although I'm not a designer.... and I JUST realized while typing this that I have to scan and send those designs to our computer person. hmm... thanks blog, lets see if I remember in the morning...

5)Angel Headdress for 3D. We're supposed to make headgear for an angel. I chose the Angel of Writing. So it's AWESOME! :D I based the top half on this picture

And the back is a super long pieces of paper trailing behind me. With things liek bundles of pencils, paper clips, and "quills" hanging off the back. It really is cool. I'll have to post pics.

That's it. It doesn't sound like much. but the time i have to put into these things is insane!
People always say that art majors have it easy and "oh, i wish I could paint for homework". But it's hard. you have to put large amounts of time into projects. And you're constantly being criticized because your profs want you to create something amazing, and they push you to do better. and at the end of they year it all comes piling up on you and you begin to drown in the vast sea of art supplies. *DEEP BREATH*

sorry for that. Whew, it feels good to get that out.
Since I have lots of supplies I have to work on the floor in order to spread things out, so I've spent the past couple of days hunched over. My back sounds like extra buttery popcorn when I twist.
I've been joking that I'll have to be locked away in a bell tower like Quasimoto.

But my first year of college is almost over! I go home next Saturday with all my crap smooshed into my parent's van.
But that's not until after I go to Disneyland on Wed, when I'm done with all my finals.
Apparently there is a Churro man who gives you a free churro if you wink twice, spin around, and ask for a churro. But I think it might be an urban myth.

I might even be able to update next week! woot.
but until then, remember, roommates don't like it when you use a hairdryer to dry paper when they're sleeping.
..and be careful with hot glue guns!
