FOUNDATION DRAWING - Submitted.
A charcoal drawing with photoreference from
nikosalpha. I forgot to take a pic of it before submitting it. D'oh! Gotta ask from friends.
FOUNDATION 2D - Working like a manslave.
I don't paint much because I generally hate painting (because I'm molasses slow at it). But this is due on Thursday, and the relation of emotions to what I have and see in life is so ****ing real, that I just *have* to do this. I don't care, this is gonna go up regardless of how well or how finished it.
FOUNDATION 3D - Groupwork.
A totem pole thingy. I think we're good, but we still have quite some work to do (~60% done) and the professor is half a prick. No, not pricky enough to justify full prickiness but still. Ehh. Handing up next week so I have some time. I LOVE spraypainting stuff with silver paint. Awesome sensation.
FOUNDATION 4D - Narrative(?)
Just got the idea this afternoon. It was there previously, but I didn't know what form it would take on. This is even more personal than my 2D piece so I should take good care of it.
I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT GRADES - As long as I pass.
Seriously. I DON'T CARE IF I FUCKING ACE ART SCHOOL OR NOT. I'm estimating myself to be at least competent enough to get a B(-) [3.0/5.0 GPA] on everything and so far most of the grades are definitely above that, but some people are acting like getting a 1st class Hons. degree in an art school is everything. It is *something*, and is *something* really commendable, but so?
I'm not being hell-bent on self-gratification, but I think I'm seeing too big of a gap between the hands and the brain for most Foundation groups. You are told to nail it in a systematic matter - visually, which I'm definitely okay with, but not emotionally. No motive no spontaneousness so sterile so clean so CAL-CU-LA-TED (that's how you pronounce it in Malay, folks!)
Calculation. Perhaps that's my main beef with other people. It's finally university and some people are still CALCing their grades like their moms (perhaps?) used to do for them. Art school (or not).
I like people who take risks or spontaneous journeys because they *FELT* like it, not calculation. Yes, a calculated risk for assignments in art school- you heard it here first! ;D
p/s: If you don't feel like it, don't take risks. Be sincere and be what you feel you would want to tell or express.
