It\u2019s hard to believe I\u2019ve only done about two posts on here in the last year, but sometimes that is the way life rolls.<\/p>\n
The semester is over and I have actually completed my Foundation year at Tyler School of Art. That\u2019s freshman year for you folks who don\u2019t know about art school.<\/p>\n
It was challenging, eye opening and did I say challenging? I\u2019ve done a lot of hard things in my life and this one has to rank up there in the top five. But I feel like I made some good work. I certainly learned a lot more about my own work as well as others. I met some awesome fellow artists and some great teachers as well. I found myself thinking about other art I want to make besides jewelry.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t have a favorite piece from this year, or even from each semester. Each course and each project demanded a different way of seeing and problem solving. I\u2019ve uploaded a selection of my stuff on my Flickr<\/a> if you would like to see some of it.<\/p>\n I\u2019m really looking forward to the Fall semester. I\u2019m registered to take CAD\/CAM, Metals and Sculpture as my studio courses. It\u2019s going to feel great to be in my field and back in a classroom on the other side of the instructor line. Even though my metals credits transferred in from 20 years ago, I still get to take the Sophmore course, however I was told I will work at my own level.<\/p>\n One of the skills I had to pick up this year was working with video. \u00a0There\u2019s a cheesy video I made about Smaug during our Spring Break trip that really taught me to respect people who make real movies.<\/p>\n I was really glad to get some video experience this semester because I\u2019ve been meaning to get some instructive jewelry videos on my YouTube\/Website for a while. I even have tons of stuff that was shot during a couple of day lost wax casting workshop I did, but never got around to editing it. I put up a video of my puzzle ring solution on my YouTube<\/a>. \u00a0I\u2019m hoping to get the lost wax casting series up over the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s hard to believe I\u2019ve only done about two posts on here in the last year, but sometimes that is the way life rolls.
