YES! Part 1 (of 3) in foundation is complete!
Assessment was this morning, and I must say that the outcome was quite shocking. The head of the fine art department reviewed everything I've done thus far and gave me really high marks. It is certainly the truth that all those sleepless nights and anxiety are worth it. THIS is why I came to art school. I realize more and more everyday that I am a) extraordinarily lucky to have this opportunity and b) that I really and my happiest self when I'm making art.
That said, I will be continuing on foundation with a specialization in sculpture. Yes, I will spend the rest of the year in sculpture--not fashion, not any type of design...sculpture! Almost immediately when the school year started I realized that what interests me about fashion is not actually the design part of it, it's actually the making. That said, I've chosen to pursue sculpture because what I really want to do is learn how every material possible works, how it can be manipulated, how it can be used to create anything. In fashion, you're limited to working on the body and working primarily in fabric--and I just want to work in every medium! We'll see where this goes--I just think that the skills I'd acquire in sculpture can and will apply to any form of art that I'd want to do.
So, for now, there's no class for the rest of the week which means thanksgiving party, 4 nights of live music, christmas festivals, ice skating (in the lawn of a palace!), and hat making.
Oh, it's going to be a good week!
