  • Language Barrier

    With my awesome korean chingoo!

    Me: "So why didn't you like her?"
    Robert: "I don't see her as the opposite sex..."
    Me: "HAHAH WHAT?!"
    Robert: "UGH NO, why does it sound so much worse in english?!"

    bahahhaha XD. As in, not a person you'd date? I guess this would be funnier if you knew who it pertained to XD. *coughcoughmonkeysweatercoughcough*

  • Suddenly I've begun to see what separates professional artists from novice artists looking at all these artworks and galleries...

    Novice artists actually try to focus on making things absolutely aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Works tend to be driven by the visual aesthetic composition of the piece...

    But professional artists work these huge pieces that aren't always that aesthetically composed. The focus is sometimes more on just conveying that concept or emotion..or playing with/ demolishing the conventions of art, while the novice abides by them. Not to mention art snobs can do what writers can do with allusion in their literature-- they can do throwbacks to certain pieces, make parodies, homages...because they're so immersed in that culture. Professionals ARE constantly being innovative, even in the "abstract" crap that most people don't understand. I guess I used to think that way too, but now I'm kind of thinking that's some of the coolest shit I've ever seen XD.

    If anything I've absorbed so far, the art world isn't as small or as desolate as I imagined. It's almost like a business or a real life chess game or something. Buying and selling, expos, getting famous. Its like a cut-throat, angsty, money oriented, emotionally charged high school drama! Word. ..I wonder what it even takes to get a painting sold to a local gallery.

    Bottom line: traditional artists > digital art infinitely. You can become an internet meme on deviantart, but that's NOTHING in comparison to being in a real life gallery. It's like...having an online relationship versus a real one. Lmao.

    I think I'm starting to see what separates the good from the great.....but can I incorporate that into my own work? Let's see. Hmmm.

  • Fantasstic XD?

    XD today we got a live nude model today for art. It was really fun in the studio, the model (who's name was Flip, isn't that awesome?) was really dynamic and he had a lot of personality, so he made the entire experience really fun. His poses were great when we were doing gesture, but not only that, just the whole atmosphere of the class was really nice and our prof was really cool and helpful too. He kinda looked like he could be someone's dad...XD.


    BUT, what sucked was that we were using compressed charcoal doing 5 second gesture, but the really really soft kind so it was all charcoal dust everywhere.  I ended up NOT REALIZING that my face had like charcoal all over it, and when I met up with Lawrence and Gabby, Lolo asked me, "Did you just come out of a horrible chemistry experiment gone wrong or something?"

    Ahh shizzle. And I didn't have a mirror, so all these people on the bus/subway were looking at me funny. And I met this really nice guy in math tutorial today...maybe he pitied me because he thought i had some kind of skin condition. GAH XD.



    We only got 2b pencils...which sucks because iono, I like really dark tones. I wish it were in charcoal. This was what..20 minutes or so? I had to leave early >_O So its not AS proportional as I could've gotten it. I'll maybe fix it later. I kinda wish I got a better angle though, not that the one that I got was terrible or anything. But the model guy seemed to give the people on the other side of the circle a better angle because this one girl went to I guess some arts school or something, and she was talking to him earlier...so yeah. (Though she's not that great an artist..and her guy friend that dresses like Kurt from Glee is really knowlegable about artists but can't draw for beans either) I couldn't switch donkeys either since they were filled. Its okay though, not too fond of lepenis >__>; But what I do like about the back view is that his posture was very dignified....=__+ though I don't think I necessarily captured that. I'll get better though.

    ANYWHOS. Physics midterm tuesday!
