So sorry i have been out of toutch for about a week, the internet was down on my desktop for the past few days and depending on the time of day the wifi can be really really slow so i just let it go untill i was fully back on line. I have gone through all of my classes (except one) and I have decided that even though it will be tough I am going to taking six classes. It’s going to be really busy but I think I can do it and I would rather be busy then bored – Like the old saying goes if you want something done give it to someone who is busy!

I am taking four studio classes – 2D color translations, 3D Form vs. Function, Casting, and Intro to interaction Design

Then I have two academic classes – Intro to modern Art, and critical studies: Ethics & Justice (its intro to philosophy)

My week starts out in my 8AM morning class for 3D form vs. Function- i have only been to the class twice and im not sure how much i will like it however i don't think there will be much work outside of class so that's nice...the teacher is a older guy who went to CCA and then went and worked independent before coming back to teach. he's teaching philosophy is to give them and outline and then leave them allow to see what they come up with this class deals with a lot of Found objects witch i never like its a bit weird but i never have very good luck with turning things i largely consider junk into art its not really my thing but I will just suffer thought as its a core class and i have to pass it.

then i have a bit of a break before heading to my second class of the day witch is Intro to the Modern arts, I should say this right from the start I am not a huge fan of post-modern art, I find lots of it laughable I'm not doubting the artist talent when I scoff at the in dept analice of a canvice pained one color is not art its a background for the real painting, I mean please.  however just about everything before that period I do genuinely like or at least respect one of my favrout painters is going to be covered in this which is Monet, I'm quite looking forward to that. the class this time is not going to be as easy as my last history class its being taught by  a visiting perfuser who is actually speclices in cultural study's so lots of the class will be coming from that perspective. he has given us two textbooks to buy (already one more then last semester) and quizzes every two weeks.

after that class lets out if its a Monday I get a small break before heading off to Ethics. this class is structure a bit weird for CCA although from what i hear its a normal arrangement in larger university (such as the Udub) on Monday's there is a large lecture section (for CCA that means we meet in the only lecuter hall on campus and there are about 100 students) there are four teachers who all lecture trading off then depending who you have been assignment to you meet on a different day in a different place to have a discussion class. I have not been to one of thought yet. Its going to be a really mixed class and more then ethics it is basic pholospy starting with Aristotle. I have a feeling that how good the class is depends on who is lecturing I already know that one of the women who is going to be teaching is supper dull she managed to make Greek tragity so dull I wanted to cry she speaks in a complete monotone the whole time...uggg however this class is kind of cool because 1/4 of the freshman population is in it so we all kind of know each outer. Last Wednesday leaving the lecture hall (they desired to hold a lecture as it was the first day) a few of us spotted a new water art piece on a wall (I have talked about these before it's where to dump water on the ground to form a image) so we decide to grab a photo with it. sorry its a bit blurry

after That im done for the day! then for Tuesday and Thursday my day does not start until noon witch is sooo nice I have 2D witch is going to be easy and boring then a hour break before Casting! Yes i stitched out of Glass I think it was a good choice, It looked really interesting but they wanted a huge time commitment to something that was not advancing my major i would like to take it sometime but not this year so i moved to Casting witch is at the same time I will go talk more about the class later on but I think it will be very fun and good to know later on down the line, its a really complex process to explain so i thought i would post a very nice video i found its not quite how we do it but its very close this is how almost all commercial jewelry is made although on a bigger scale.

then we come to my last class witch is interaction Design all day Friday but i think i will cover that in a different post as i have only been to the first class.
