This was a very busy week, It always seems like I have 17 deadlines all at once. It is one of the unfortunate downfalls of being an art major. Generally professors do 4-5 projects over the course of the semester which results in many deadlines lining up. Luckily in terms of the class I’m a Teaching Assistant in the students have moved on to their first choice project. They get to choose to either work in intaglio drypoint like the first project or work in relief woodblock like the second. I’m using this time to make sure I stay on track with my own work while aiding the students with their designs. In terms of my own work I’m currently juggling a drawing for my Advanced Design class as well as a book series for Artist Books. Both of which have been slow going to start but are really starting to gain momentum. I also need to begin work on my next project for Digital Painting. This class is interesting in that its asynchronous, there is no set meet time for the class as a whole. It feels like an independent study which has its good and bad. Ive done independent studies before but in areas/materials I was more than comfortable with. I don’t have a lot of experience with digital painting so its been a trek so far. Ive been lucky enough to have great professors who are always there to help and it makes things a million times easier. I do know that I have got to be a little more disciplined with this class moving forward so I dont fall behind.
