It's Been a Week Already?

These days really do blend together. Are you sure it wasn't just Sunday?

After being up so long for Monday I was relieved when my day ended at 4:00 instead of 9:45. 

Reason? 

For one thing my Fine Arts class was just going over concept ideas and since I already had sketches and examples I got to go second (first person had just had knee therapy and was in pain so we let her go se she could leave). Anyway, I got my concept approved, to create line using bouncy balls, ramps, tubes, and “road blocks.” Once it was I could leave to get started on the work and advance the concepts. 

(Not that I actually did that. I made sure I had everything for my later class, went to diner and took a 15 minute nap.)

The other reason why my day ended early was that my night class was canceled since the teacher was sick. Of course I didn’t realize this until I actually got to the classroom, saw there was no one there (normally there are still 30 minutes early), and then checked my email. I had checked it before diner but of course she sent the email not two minutes after I went to eat...

Anyway, I went to bed early and slept for 14 hours. That felt great.

Tuesday was nice since I had finished my animation back on Friday and I had gotten all that sleep.  It’s a mock client project for MoMA and their upcoming exhibit. 

*(Tried to put it in this but it wouldn't work).*

Wednesday came up along with a meeting for Ministry of Magic making decorations for our Yule Ball in 2 weeks. Of course I thought we only had snowflakes to make and it would only take 2 hours at most. Nope. I forgot we wanted to make banners for each of the Hogwarts houses that day too.

So I got slated to make a banner with the fabric and paint. There were 4 of us on that job and 4 houses so the question got to who did what house. That sparked the question what house are you (everyone there is in Pottermore and has gone through the official sorting). I’m a Slytherin, but so was one other girl (the other two were Gryffindor and Ravenclaw so that was easy). It came down to me having a sister who’s a Hufflepuff so I was called on biased on association.

Worked out okay. I went with making stencils to paint with instead of free handing it on the fabric so it only took 5 hours instead of everyone else’s 6. 

Then off to the Academic Center to do the board-o-maitics for Concept since my lap top can’t handle it.

Jill actually liked the pieces when I showed them. Yeah the type is a bit too big but that’s an easy fix for Monday. Everyone in class seemed to like it too, especially the music choices.

*(These videos alos don't want to work...)*

I’ll end this with a note on Fine Arts. My piece is rolling bouncy balls and golf balls covered in paint down a tube/ramp to create a painting. They will also interact with obstacles that are on the paper thus forcing them to change direction. These will be things that represent road blocks I have encountered in my life. This weekend will be spent making them all out of clay. Hopefully.
