(no subject)
Aug. 4th, 2007 12:23 amI looked up my textbooks for this fall, and even though I'm only taking four classes, and only three of those require texts, I still have to buy eleven books. As someone who also has to spend ungodly amounts of money on art supplies, this seems grossly unfair.
I'm so glad I only have four classes though, and just one (ONE!!!!!!) studio. I'm still considering adding another painting class to my schedule, but that's very iffy at the moment. I'm not taking lightweight classes though... I think I'll be learning a lot this semester, and will be more academic than ever before. For the first time though, I'm genuinely interested in every class I'm taking. No required classes that I'd never ever take if I had an option! Very fun.
I'm signed up for:
Intro to French (the begining of the begining, it's a 101 course as I've never had French before but always wanted to learn)
19th Century American Art (a 300 level art history with the delightful Sigrid as the prof... if it's anything like Medieval Symbolism of last semester, it'll be a lot of work, but quite interesting)
Renaissance and Reformation Europe (a 300 level history. According to ratemyprofessors, the prof is very, very demanding... it's a good thing I like the subject matter...)
and last but definitely NOT least, Advanced Illustration II (my last Illustration class of EVER... I'll be so sad when it's over....)
And if I decide that isn't enough, I'll be adding intermediate painting II to the list, but I'm still dithering about that.
I don't want to be overworked and overstressed like last semester though... I think I only poked a toe into the costume shop once all last winter, and I really want to get involved there again. The Shakespeare play this fall will be set during the Civil War, and it would be a lot of fun to help with that. Not to mention I want to be able to work a bit on my own project during the school year, before my senoir project compands all of my time.
Speaking of projects, I Violet Baudelaired again today... almost all day, in fact. I appliqued the stripes to four of the six skirt panels, but petered out in the early evening, and watched the second Anne movie instead of sewing. I ought to be able to do the other two panels tomorrow before work though. It feels unbelievably good to be making (albeit slow) progress!
