Mid-terms

I don't remember mid-terms as being a significant point during the school year, but it seems that there is certainly something going on.
I spend the evening at the sculpture lab carving alabaster, modeling clay or casting plaster. Then I head to the media studies lab to work on my Maya project. Once the lab closes at midnight, I head to the print lab to add another color and reduce my silkscreen.
I'm gonna need to finish a piece for adv. painting homework.
Took an exam in natural science topics today, it was nice having some lunch when I don't usually have time for it on Mondays.

I'm neglecting my pro practice class. It's the only class I have to take, aside from science, and the only illustration class this semester. Funny how that works.

Student assessments next week. Good opportunity to catch up on some sleep on Wednesday. Thursday will be the same.

Went to the Home and Garden show Sunday. I wish I had gone during the past two years. Came home with a supply of tote bags, magnets, pens, 2 yard sticks, a jar opener, an LED flashlight, sanitary wipes, antibacterial roll-ons, pinwheel, candy, flyswatter... :)
This weekend we have the chili cook-off which should be even more fun than last year, and the Arnold sports festival. I might check it out. Could get some good reference, if I feel like coughing up $15 and dragging my ass out of bed.

Not so great - taxes, job seeking, letting the landlord know I won't be leasing next year.

Rant over, sketches from Monday sessions:

Quarter done

Week 4 out of 16. On one hand we have just started getting into the thick of things - I'm working on the details of my painting.
I finished building my silk screen, and would have prepared my class screen for the first color pass but someone else left his screen to dry on my table.
I'm going to polish my second alabaster sculpture, a mate to my first, while also working on the clay bust which we will make a waste mold of.
Portfolio review in Pro Practice, so the project will be due next week.
Garage is WIP, worked on the Autocars Carmel for 6 hours, and I'm no where near done. :/

Faith (I saw her model card :P ) Modeled for us in the latest free model session, and I used the opportunity to illustrated the first spread in the sketchbook Groff wants us to keep - one in which we focus on visual storytelling.
