...and in the final run, we have, art!

Okay, this is my final week of classes for this quarter. I had my final project for my Introduction to Graphic Design class yesterday. I did a powerpoint, with music (! I learned how to do that stuff in another class) comparing who would win in  a fight: coffee vs. tea. Durning the presentation, while Thomas Dolby's song "She blinded me with science" played in the background, I had samples and we took a vote. Coffee won 8 to 5. Other kids had really cool movies that they made using iMovie or Flipnote from the DSi. So I learned from them, too, since I'm still not cool enough to do something like that. Next time then.
Tomorrow I've got my final exam in my Intro to Design Applications. This is the class where I got exposed to all the design programs I'll be using like InDesign on Adobe. We have the written part tomorrow and we have to turn in the practicum by end of class. But, I've been working on mine already so I won't have to stay late, and one of my classmates is doing the same thing so we've been working together. Well, I've been working, he's been playing Sims and helping me, which I really appreciate the help because some things I just can't remember how to do. Our assignment was to use all the programs we reviewed to create brochures, charts, information and a webpage for a national park. I chose Mount Fuji in Japan. It wasn't too difficult since I had a lot of information already from when I went a few years ago.
My last class in Perspective Drawing, we took our final last week. The instructor went over the information, I wrote down my little notes and thought, "good I have these to go over for the test next week." But the guy said, "Okay, who wants to take the exam now?" Of course everyone's hands shot up except mine. I felt  like the last kid standing during a round of musical chairs. I know I missed a few questions, but I think I still did well. We also have a final drawing to turn in. Everyone else used their drawing from the previous assignment, which was to draw a building from a photograph. I, of course, had to be different and started another drawing, which I think was better because I got more practice and advice. So I hope that turns out well, too. We have until the end of class to turn in the final drawing.
Now, please enjoy a few pictures from school:

my group for our "design the decade" project. Ours was the 70's and we were the only group to go old school and do a live collage during our presentation. The teacher really liked that idea and it was my idea.

my final drawing for Perspective class. It is my second attempt to draw something this big and in pencil. I did use a range of pencils for the drawing, but I think my shading and shadows are way off. Still, a good first try, I think.
