Hello Again!
I hope everyone is doing well with their college search! Things are starting to cool down here in Syracuse, we're starting to move into that crisp fall weather. Time for the cute sweats to start coming out! haha
Classes are pretty much the same. We're starting to embellish our interior design projects. We started with the very basic structure of the object and have moved on to really abstracting and analyzing the object. It is actually more difficult than it seems to start at the very, very basic form of something and then abstract it. We are so conditioned to draw an object as we see it and to include the details and proportions that to abstract something and draw it emphasizing only its designed qualities is quite the challenge. However, I am enjoying it immensely. When you take something down to its very core you see so many new things that you just never noticed before. Its like new aspects of the object randomly start appearing before your eyes. Not only that but to draw something abstracted instead of literal it is as if you make this object your own and instead of having a replica of someone else's idea, the object has now become your own creation. Its an interesting experience to say the least.
Having my own studio space is also a joy this year. Its great to be able to leave all your supplies out and ready to go for the next time your there, or not have to carry your projects back and forth, or to be able to get into the building whenever you need to. Its really made working so much easier. Plus since we are in the studio literally all the time now, I've really started to make friends with the girls in my major. They're all very nice and we can all relate to the challenges of the studio work.
Not much else is new here though. I have a fundraiser at Funken Waffles tonight for College Democrats, its a club here at Syracuse that helps to promote the democratic party and the Obama Campaign. The fundraiser should be a good time, there are local bands coming and all kinds of food, I mean its held at funken waffles, which just spells out a good time to me.
Until next time!
Leeanna
