End of Finals!

Well, I may possibly have been one of the last people at BYU to finish with finals, since I was finishing a D&C test on Blackboard at 11:50 last night, but I'm finally done! I'm still having nightmares about it, though--I dreamed last night that I'd forgotten that I signed up for some classes (Italian Food and Intro to Copper :P ) and consequently failed them because I never went to class and forgot to take the finals. I checked my schedule when I woke up this morning, though, and I definitely did not sign up for those classes, so I'll probably be okay ;) Even more exciting, I'm finished with my generals! No more writing classes, or American Heritage, or anything that I don't want to take. Just art and whatever I want from here on out :)

I did finish my figure drawing project! Thankfully, my teacher let me finish four pictures instead of six, because they definitely took awhile. Not all of them are photographed very well, but here they are:

The last one is probably my favorite, but I do like them all. I also made some kind of abstract stuff for 3D design, the class that I hate:

The first one is steel that I bent with a torch and welded to a plate of steel. The second one is made of paper, but for some reason I had the hardest time in the world gluing it so it wouldn't fall apart! I mean seriously, how hard should paper be to glue? Thankfully, it held together long enough to be graded, and didn't break apart until I got it home 30 minutes later. I guess prayers are the best glue after all.

Chris and I do have a little break, so we're going to Oregon this weekend (tonight, actually!), but next Tuesday it's back to school as usual for Spring and Summer Term. I actually have a couple of graphic design classes (Intro to Graphic Design and Basic Typography), but I also have a computer illustration class that I'm looking forward, and I might be taking a painting class--I haven't decided whether that's going to be too much yet. I'm also taking Bookbinding and Intermediate Life Drawing this summer, so I'm pretty excited about my summer classes. Thank goodness for a break, though!

Just a little something

Finals are approaching, which for me mostly means I need to get my art in gear, though I do have two tests, as well. I'll probably put up some more art on this blog when it's all over, including pictures of what I did for 3D design (the class that I hate) and the rest of my figure drawing project. This is the first of four images that I'm turning in for my figure drawing final. Isn't she enough to give you baby envy? (as if I needed any help with that)

This is Makenzie, done in black and white prismacolor pencil on gray Strathmore paper. Thanks to Lindsay and the rest of mother's group for letting the most awkward woman in the world (me) crash mother's group and photograph their adorable children. Those pictures were a huge help!

Tomorrow is the first reading day, so... here we go!
