Nothing clever to say, but "one day." Nothing else to say.

This week has been fairly quiet. Well as quite as it gets in a city. Theres always something noisy happening. Classes were good. Actually we had to draw in one point perspective in sketchbook class so that kinda sucked. Its so unrealistic looking.

But, I learned all about lighting in Fashion Photography and were were able to do some test shots in the studio. Im really excited about this class. were shooting a lookbook for this upscale boutique called Gerard. We're planning on doing it outside, really playing off the interesting textures of the city.
Test shots:



Mixed media is going to be interesting. My teacher is really into political art or art that has some kind of content behind it, even if it is not very asthetically pleasing. As for me, I'm all for meaning and content behind a work, but i like to make beautiful things. I feel that just in being beautiful they are meaningful and worthwhile. And im still trying to learn how to use various materials and what my artisic style even it. I think for my project I want to somehow incorporate the fascinating mix of contemporary and renaissance art in Florence.  Right now I'm doing studies of this awesome sculpture. I like it because it is of a mythical creature.

I visited a contemporary art gallery today called the Biagiotti gallery. They specialize in showing art of young emerging artists. Lexi and I also helped break down a gallery show today at the artist in residence building at my school. Im hoping if i make good enough contacts, I could be an artist in residence here someday!


One thing i remembered from visitng Italy a few years ago is that there are a lot of strange signs in italy. These are a few of my favorites.


What?


One of my best friends, the beautiful, porcelain skinned, Sarah Mondy is getting married tomorrow! Im so sad that i cant be there for the actual wedding, but I'm getting skyped in beforehand! If you see her or her wonderful Fiance Adam Buell, make sure to congratulate them! Im praying for you guys. Love you so much! I really wish I could be there.
