day assignments. pish posh.
today in illi three we had the infamous DAY ASSIGNMENTS. for those of you non art school folk, that is illustration teacher speak for “do what you would normally do, except FASTER and MORE and RIGHT NOW, THAT’S RIGHT, IN CLASS!”
this is usually followed by groaning and students throwing things at the aforementioned teacher. needless to say, it’s usually my favorite class of the semester. what could be better?
surprisingly (or not?), i tend to turn out my favorite pieces of the semester in these class periods–a little disturbing when you stop to think about it. whatever. i had fun making these. i tried to hold them together as a series by using the same family of collage materials for them. these are all cut paper, pencil, and watercolor. carrie (le prof) gave us prompts to pick from, so don’t think i just enjoy randomly drawing these things.
first we have: child looking at her reflection in water
and then, dog on the moon
finally, polar bear roasting marshmallows over a fire (i know. i know. i’m sorry too.)
the end of my fatty art post.
hopefully you all can see these ones.
love and kisses.

Hmmmm…. maybe your compy is to blame… I can see them too, AND THEY ARE AWESOME! I really like the polar bear. The cutie dog is, well, cute too.

ok. it is officially NOT MY COMPY’S FAULT. and here’s why: i posted the next entry (with the sleepy hollow poster) from a school computer, and you can’t see it on firefox or camino. the only difference between the two posts is the images: photoshop wouldn’t open for me to scan the day assignments, so i used the straight up epson application, they scanned as jpgs (not as psds). however, i save all the stuff i’m going to post in the same way, that is, as 72 dpi JPGs. the mystery continues. tech boy? any thoughts?
