Recap of the course so far, week 2...

Week 2:


Monday - First Lecture [PDP/study skills],This lecture was about confidence building and trying to get ourselves to realize our own potential and abilities and stop putting ourselves down (if we id that). We had to wright 40 things that were positive about ourselves! 40 THINGS! is that even possible?.. I wrote down how amazingly talented and gorgeous i am an how i am going to be as famous as Picasso or Moet, OH OR MAYBE Anna Wintour - the English editor-in-chief of American Vogue if you didn't know... you really should have, ANYWAY i digress, we were also assigned to o several other activities such as make a cute little mind map on what qualities i feel the ideal student should have an if i ha them.. ill try  get a photo of it soon. 
              - Second Lecture [Drawing], In Drawing We were given another brief on Positive and Negative Space. I was rather exited since i have never done anything on the subject before so this was all new waters, the reason i wanted to do this course, explore all possible horizons. So the first thing to tackle was to jot down four preliminary sketches of interesting places around the college. me and my peers dispersed around the college drawing whatever we deemed suitable. i was stumped at first, due to the fact that i didn't really know how to use negative space so i was just guessing - i will upload pictures of my sketches, don't expect any masterpieces, i'm just warning you - it was fair to say i was so incredibly dirty by the end of that lesson. Yep.

Tuesday - First Lecture [3D/ sculpture] Now that we had been inducted into the course we were finally given a workshop (i know its only week two but i like doing things!) we were shown various origami techniques which i can remember the names of at this moment in time so there's another thing i need to look up for you guys. well it was fun, i made a couple of rough 'experiments' if that is the right word which i will show y'all in a picture! :)

- Well since i was halfway through this blog when i stopped blogging i have forgotten exactly what happened that week so ill create a post or several 'mini posts' to recap all i have done thus far, SORRY! :')
