first wave

so here goes. ima noob to this whole act of bloggin, so humour me (but be gentle).


im takin 3 classes this fall semester, 2 of which are year long in length. i have already my first assignments to toil over.


PTNG 300: first i have painting 300 and with a straightforward project to help us ease into school mode again. really, we just have to show up ready to work. we'll be working from a nude male model (i know...) in figurative painting. no big.


ARTT: my semester long class is art theory: Ideas and Issues, though i prefer the course outline title, Reproductive Media/ Contemporary Art. and it better describes the classes focus. so far, i just have readings and an exhibition visit at the MoFA which im particularly excited for.

PTNG 399: last i have Painting and Pop Art. i had high expectations for this class. figured it would be fun, but so far it just seems... artsy. full of characters in that class. and the first assignment is just as 'off'. aside from filling out a form of personal interest, the first project is to produce work that speaks of painting (but isnt) and pushes the 'borders' of what is art, WHILST having functionality.... .... .... challenging, but in an annoying sort of way. this project has won my focus.



there it goes. fun.

haha, when you mentioned nude male model, right away I thought of SNL when Will Ferrell had a sketch as one. Can't wait to see your work bro. Nice job so far with the blog...
