End of Term

I did it. My first semester, and I rocked. “A” average and lots of pieces to be proud of. I even ignited the spark of creativity in myself again, and I plan to continue it by painting and drawing during the break from school before next semester.
Although I did feel as if my energy was waning and my idea factory was shutting down, I managed to perk up again before the end of term and get myself back in gear. It's a challenge to push yourself everyday to stay focused. But I am proud of the end result.

Assignments for these last few weeks;

Drawing class. I cannot begin to express how impressed I am about this piece. I have never been able to make hair look good in a drawing, but after some quick tips from my teacher I was able to turn out this baby. It is supposed to accompany an editorial article about any topic we wanted. I chose Alcoholism. The picture was taken by me and redrawn from the photo. Pencil on drawing board.

Graphic Design. We were given a list of terms/ideas and had to create a
“road sign” for it. Done in Illustrator.
The terms were;
Prison Farm
Canadian Pioneer Village
Extreme Sports area
Chinese Opera
Fairy Tale Park
Target Area
Rodeo
Vaudeville Theatre
Fortune Teller
Bungee Jump Area
Silent Picture Studio
Classic TV Show

You get extra points if you know what/who the Fortune Teller is.
So that is it. As of the 17th I am on break. See you here Jan 10th for more school stuff, unless I post some of the Christmas break art I do.
Merry Christmas.
