Its been a while.
Writing on this blog feels like catching up with an old friend.
It shouldn't have been this long since I've written, where has the time gone? lol
The end of the semester is approaching and so many things have changed in the course of a few months. Most of the changes are really good, exciting changes :)
First of all, I recently found out that I have the opportunity to become a "studio assistant" at my university. This is basically a glamorous way of saying that in exchange for a studio space, I get to clean up the drawing and ceramics studios. I'm thrilled just to have a place to go and work on art after I graduate. Plus, I'll get to keep in touch with all of my friends who are graduating next semester.
I'm still looking for volunteer work; that search will get a bit more serious once the semester officially ends.
Monday is my peer review, where I'll discuss my artistic development from my first undergraduate studio class to my last. I have to submit an image CD, which gave me the opportunity to take updated photos of my work. I'm going to post some of the images on this blog since I said that I would share my artwork on here at some point lol
I can't believe that my undergraduate career is coming to an end. The last 3 and a half years have gone by so fast. This school has truly become a second home to me. I feel so lucky that I won't have to pack up right away and that I'll get the chance to continue my work. I have so many ideas for sculptures and paintings and prints- I can't wait to get started :D

Equinox
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox
"An equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the centre of the Sun being in the same plane as the Earth's equator."

Dog Days are Over
I've been back in the studio for less than a week (2 days really) but I'm feeling renewed. This is my home and when I'm there I feel like I truly belong somewhere. It's the greatest feeling in the world.
Having this feeling makes it difficult to believe that in less than four months, I'll be leaving the studio for good. The more I think about it, the more I want to leave the city for graduate school. I was hestitant at first but I really have my heart set on Pratt Institute in Brooklyn for graduate school. Drexel University has an amazing program, and I will be thrilled if I get in. Lately, though, I've been thinking about what it is I really want. Maybe things will be clearer once I've visited Pratt and gotten to wander around campus in person.
Every professor I respect and trust, and many friends, seem to think that Pratt would be the perfect fit for me. I'm afraid of failing, but right now, it seems like I'm more afraid to fly than I am to fail.
I'm doing everything I can to change that attitude. On monday, I will know for sure where I stand as far as the Visual art association is concerned. Will I be leading the club? Will I not? For once in my life I feel confident enough to do it. I don't carry the attitude of "someone could do it better than me" around anymore. It never helped me, just allowed me to let great opportunities pass by.
I'm excited for all of the opportunities for artistic growth that are in front of me this semester. I haven't done anything with print making in 3 years and I have been waiting to take a class like this since I started my undergraduate education. I'm not used to the process of printmaking but I have so many ideas and I hope that I can carry them out. I'll be posting images from my process in printmaking as well as images of my final painting in different stages from start to finish. Wish me luck!
