Lines, Lines, and More Lines

So I still have my burning love for my design class.  The latest project that we have done is examples of types of lines (curved, diagonal, horizontal, and vertical).  Each example was 5" by 12" so it was pretty good sized for each.  All our professor told us to bring was permanent markers and a ruler.  He showed us some of the best most amazing examples of his other students had created.  I sat there thinking to myself, "Why does he show us the ones that are like beyond belief to be from other beginners?  He should put some of the not so amazing ones that are still good but in more of our 'beginners' level."  Now that I contemplate more about it, I think that he is really just trying to challenge us to go above and beyond what we think we are capable of.  However, I still think he should put other levels up there also.  I am pleased with how well mine turned out and you can't see my mistakes from this picture which makes it awesome! haha So enjoy. 

Walking In The Rain

     So I have decided that my design class is the bomb!  All we have done so far is made potato stamps and made pictures out of them. These are my creations!
 

I am so excited that I am finally taking an art class.  In high school I refused to take any fancy art classes because I was too intimidated of all the Michael Angelo prodigies out there.  I figured once you hit high school, the people who take those classes are freakin' amazing!  Art 'freaks' if you know what I mean.  I didn't need my self esteem to go any lower so I took more fun art classes like calligraphy, which was my favorite class in high school, and also sculpture, which was fun cause I wouldn't do anything for two days then race to get my project done.  My teacher in sculpture was amazing and loved me! haha Almost everyday he would yell at this kid who sat diagonal from me telling him to get to work, while I was sitting there doing absolutely nothing.  Once in a while I'd just clean out my backpack but that's about it.  After he'd yell at that kid, he'd come over to me and ask if I was doing alright and tell me to keep up the good work! haha Man, I was sure lucky.  That same teacher ended up giving me like 5 bucks when I asked if he had any change for the vending machines.  But back to my real store about design..

So right when I get out of my design class I noticed that good ol' mother nature decided to let her tears fall from the heavens.  And of course it just had to be raining when I got out of my last class which just so happens to be my furthest class from my apartment.  Thank goodness I decided to wear a hat that day! What luck right?  As I was walking home I began to think of how I always seem to get stuck in walking in bad weather.  Like the time I went to Provo and my boyfriend was suppose to pick me up but fell back asleep so I had to walk maybe over a half mile or so to his apartment while it was snowing like crazy, and of course it was blowing right into my face.  And to top it off, all I was wearing was a light zip up hoody, jeans, and flats... so needless to say, I got soaked.  But while I was walking in that blizzard, I wasn't particularly mad at my boyfriend at all, I was just trying to enjoy myself and not freeze to death or slip and fall.  The same experience happened when I was walking during this little down pour of rain.  I was walking with a skip in my step and just enjoying myself.  It was really weird.  I didn't get soaked, which was definitely a plus.  Once I got home I was in the bathroom listening to the radio and this song came on.  After searching on the internet trying to remember the lyrics, I finally found it.  It was "Stand In The Rain" by SuperchicK.

Here's the Music video, just listen to the lyrics, the movie is kinda weird.
