So my TARCs are awesome and my roomates are still amazing as ever. From the roomate stories going around i am so glas my roomates are normal. classes started monday and i'm soooo tired ! Things are going great though and i'm learning alot. I've met lots of new friends and found a couple old ones too here. Art supplies are plentiful, considering i have to carry everything with me back and forth. Oil is great, no painting yet but we have done loads of drawing and sketching. Tomorrow we are going on a museam trip and Saturday we're going to DC. Well haven't taken many photos recently but the full first day on Sunday i took lots of pictures. i'll put some up :)
Well i'm missing being home but it helps i'm real close to home, since i know my way around here it makes me feel alot better. Gonna go, but i'll stay updated !
by the way i'm adding my one TARC, Leslie, his website so check it out.
these are just a few of the pictures from Sunday. The chalk art is what i drew for this chalk art compition thing. and the rest are like a newspaper activity and night activies.

so first day yesterday at MICA. It's awesome here, it's really wierd living here but so far everything is great. My roomates are really nice, my TARC's are really nice, our group is good. We start doing everything like our classes, tomorrow. Today is some 'secret' project thing for our first class which is sorta like an all day class thing that everyone does. I got up at 545 this morning ! It wasn't like i forced myself though i just kinda did. Well orginally i was up at 5 but haha there was no way i was gonna get up that early yet. So yeah, everything is going good. I'm having lots of fun. I will have pictures soon. Just I don't know how soon. But there will be pictures ! Well I'm gonna get back later,now I should probably find someway else to get ready.
I don't have to be outta here until 745ish for breakfast, which i'm not even hungry.

An artist, Joe Bravo, is well known for using tortillas as his canvas. I thought it was really awesome how he resourced. I saw him on the Early Show this morning and i had to do some research. He said on the show that he used tortillas because he couldn`t afford canvas. I really thought this was interesting.
even though i can`t stand McDonalds, i thought this
one was pretty cool. And of course that`s Joe Bravo
to the right :)

I`ll be leaving for MICA Saturday morning to go unpack at the commons and get started. I`m really excited, although i`ve never been away from home for so long before but i`ve never been the one to get homesick, i guess i adapt well or something. Tomorrow is my last day at work for a long time, since i have other things going on too after MICA. I`m gonna miss work though, i love being able to paint displays and make
signs/bouquets. Even though i normally don`t get homesick, i will miss being home though. But MICA is going to be so great ! I`ll take an oil class, ceramics, and art history class. We`ll have alot of trips too. We are going to New York the day before my birthday ! That will be awesome. While i`m posting i might as well put
out there some Ami James stuff. I love Ami James' work. Before Gunnar, Ami was my all-time favorite, and well he still is just Gunnar is just as inspiring. The photos are some of Ami James' work. enjoy :D

I had to mention him, big inspiration to me right now. Heres some work of Gunnar's :

so today was my scholarship interview. i was so nervous just sitting there waiting for them to call me in to set up my artwork. it was kind of cool they had easles set up around the room and you could display your artwork however you wanted. when the judges first walked in i was really nervous. but they were really nice so it made it a little easier. they asked me about like what inspired certain pieces and what mediums i liked working with best. the one judge seemed more enthusiastic then the other. the one judge was smiling and had like wide eyes and was like taking in everything i said and the other was like very like distant yet setting up most of the questions. it was pretty cooli didn`t get any real feedback since they have to be general with everything to be fair. i did my best and brought my best though, and i just hope i get the scholarship ! advice for anyone who get`s this type of oppurtunity, relax, and know your the best you can be & don`t tense up. there`s some pretty nice kids that present too. i met a girl there that had some impressive artwork. one of her pieces was painted on a door, she said it was an assignment they had to do. it was pretty amazing.So i leave for MICA for the pre college program in like 2 and a half weeks of so, i`m really excited i can`t wait for it ! i`ll be posting alot through out all that too. hey AP kids ! excited ?i am. :) hope you guys keep up with me over the summer, i`ll be checking to see if any of you guys set up blogs too !by the way i`m new to this whole blog thing haha :D
