3D Design and Intro to Digital Media, Oh My.

Hey guys, we should totally have one class senior year, causing us to act like a bum the whole year, and then sign up for a full load of college classes. That sounds so fun, right?! WRONG.
The transition from high school to college has been so shocking for me. I have gone from going to school for one hour each day, to attending 6 hours of classes twice a week, another hour of classes twice a week, and an online Art History class (That takes hours and hours of work, by the way). I'm not complaining, it's just really different.

With all of that aside, I would like to focus on my two studio classes of the semester: 3D Design and Intro to Digital Media. It was really smart of me to schedule both of these 3-hour-long classes on the same day. Only, it wasn't smart at all. Atleast it means only going to Tempe twice a week, I guess.

3D Design is seriously killing me. I was not expecting it at all. Our first project was basically an architecture project. I suck at architecture, by the way. Remind me to never become an architect. Anyways, After completing a cardboard cube, wooden skeleton, an orthographic drawing, and several sketches, I came up with these beauties.




The left one is the original skeleton, the middle one is the planar sculpture, and the right one is the volumetric sculpture. Atleast I have an eye for color, or so I've been told.

Next, we come to Intro to Digital Media. I must say, this class is pretty exciting. Photoshop, Illustrator, Final Cut Pro, and animation programs!? Sounds like my kind of class. We have only completed 2 raster projects so far. My first one has a theme of man vs. nature. The second one shows change over time at a lake near my home.
