College Life

I want to apologize for not posting any artwork. I haven't had the motivation, nor the inspiration to generate anything in my sketchbooks.

My ART101 class has proved to be a learning experience. The first few weeks had me concentrating on understanding the values and smoothnesses of my graphite. Now, we've gotten into charcoal. At first, it was something I hated because I wasn't comfortable with it. I can certainly use the nasty, black, powder-y junk on bigger canvases. My teacher complimented me on having an almost instinctual knowledge of the charcoal values.

Now that it's nearing the end of the year, I've come to another point in life where a big, huge wall stands in my way with a ladder hanging over that's too short for me to grab onto. I have to work towards what I want and what I want is a B.A. of Arts with an emphasis on, well, art! (You may think that's redundant; however, it is a possible degree where all media is covered and understood.) The sucky thing is, is that I have to take a certain amount of foundation classes, then submit my portfolio to a panel of "judges" for the art department. They decide if I'm good enough to go after a degree.

My uncle made it clear that I should go after my education. I will. Once I get a job. ^^; I have until next fall to get seriously onto my feet. I understand that I'll be starting later than most people. I don't care. I'm going to for what I want at my own pace. I will be taking my lower division classes (100-200 series) at a community college (to save money) and then take my higher division classes (300-onward) at the university. Yes. I'm going to transfer my credits.

What does my degree consist of? Here you are:
The basic core classes of English, math, science, blah-blah-blah;
36 credits in electives (6 classes or 5, depending on the amount of credits awarded);
The foundation classes are:
:bulletblue: ART 101 (I have completed this class.)
:bulletblue: ART 107
:bulletblue: ART 108
:bulletblue: ART 156
:bulletblue: ART 260
:bulletblue: ART 261
:bulletblue: ART 266

Studio art requirements:
:bulletblue: ART 102
:bulletblue: ART 135
:bulletblue: ART 201
:bulletblue: ART 216
:bulletblue: ART 221 or 222
:bulletblue: ART 231
:bulletblue: 256

Art History requirements:
:bulletblue: ART 477 and another class from a crap load of other classes.

It might take me longer because the degree specifically says that 42/TOTAL of my credits must be in the higher division. I'm luck, because college offers a wide range of electives.

Wish me luck?

Oh, it's no problem. It's just a little weird for me to have both of your guys' artwork in my favorites right next to each other, since I didn't want to be rude and not do as you said. x3

Keep on drawing magnificent pieces! :heart:
