I've made it to the 14 days left of school mark. (that only counts actual days of school weekends are a bonus!) I've finished 2 paintings and one is underway. I'll get those posted very soon (probably by next Tuesday). Things are all in a whirlwind of activity! I have a final presentation and an exit interview to do within the next few weeks. If all goes to plan (and I hope it does) Ill have everything ready by December 14th! And everything includes my business cards, post cards, 3 printed portfolios, 3 on a CD, a power point presentation, artist statement, resume, list of 50 possible contacts for the future, my website will be done, statement of career goals, and a spiffy outfit for my interview. whew. That's a lot. Good thing I've already started on more than half of those...
Wish me luck!
Hope everyone's Advent started well :)
Good luck with everything, that's a lot to get ready for! I just started attending at the Academy this fall.
ReplyDeleteCool, what are you majoring in? hopefully not design or 3d, those majors are messed up...
ReplyDeleteNo, don't worry about that. :) Right now I chose Illustration but I was thinking about Oil Painting as well. I really want to push myself to learn it so I've been taking Don Yangs painting club. Problem is I still don't know exactly what I would like to do as I like both fine art and concept/commercial art as well.
ReplyDeleteMr Yang has his way of painting, and it's ok.. but I felt like I was going in a better direction under Blanca and Coznowski. I'd say stick with Illustration and take oil painting electives. Though I have to recommend Mat Barber-Kennedy for a watercolor teacher (or just a teacher in general) you'll learn more about the commercial aspect in the illustration major (as I have little knowledge in it now) and you can work on fine art any ol' time you want. And just because you have a BFA in illustration, it doesn't make a difference if you want to do fine art.. and that goes both ways. Good luck to you too, try to keep having fun at AAA.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tips. I have yet to really get to know anyone you mentioned though I see them roaming the halls all the time. i should just go and talk to them when I get some free time during a break.
ReplyDeleteIllustration always sounded like the more accessible way to go as many illustrators do fine art in their spare time anyways.
