Goodbye freshman year!

So, tomorrow is officially my last day of freshman year!  I have my Arts and Politics final at 8 am, finish by 10, pack up, then head home!  It's crazy how most people are already gone.  You walk outside of my dorm and cars are lined up, packing up students.
The fashion design final went really well, all the students came up with really really creative designs.  I was really impressed, especially because we haven't even learned pattern making.  Visual Thinking also went well, and I have a picture (not the best picture) to show you of one of my designs!

Well, enjoy your summer!  Thanks for reading my blog!

LAST DAY OF CLASSES

I am officially done with classes for this semester.  Now all I have to do is have my drawing critique, my fashion critique, my visual thinking critique, and take my art history exam!  I have the drawing and fashion projects done, so now I'm working on my visual thinking project, which is the designs for Elie Saab.  So far I have three out of six, but I might redo them... I am crazy, but I want it to be perfect!
Here's one design that I'm working on: (sorry about the quality and that its sideways!)

Well have a great week!  Talk to you when I am one day away!

Last full week of classes!

The last week is actually here!  Plus Monday and Tuesday of next week...

Last week was crazy, but this week is settled down a bit.  Most of this week is just preparation for final projects.  I'm waiting for my heat-activated fabric to be delivered for my time arts class.  My final project is to just study what effects the fabric and make a video of it.  For drawing, the theme of our final drawing is Film Noir.  Basically, we have to find the darkest spot on campus and set something up using a light.  It's kind of hard when we all live in dorms.

And the topic of our fashion final was given out last week!  We have to create a look using either shoulders or collars using three circles of fabric.  Only three circles.  That's it.  You can cut the circles down however you want, but you are not allowed to take more!  I am working with a partner on this one, and we are each creating a shoulder with high volume that rolls into a ball.  Hopefully I can get a picture up when it's done so this actually makes sense!  I am actually excited to see how it turns out!  It should be interesting...
I am still in the progress of working on my Elie Saab collection, lots of glam, which I am not used to at all!

There's really not a lot that I can show you until I actually finish my finals, so I am sorry!  I will try my hardest to get up pictures!  (even if I'm not in school anymore)

Well, wish me luck!  Have a great week.

Where did the year go?

So basically, I am done with classes two weeks from today.  I have no idea how that happened, but I am ready for summer!
This week is probably the busiest week of my life.  TWO research papers due this week!  Each 10-12 pages.  Luckily, I got one done (pretty much) yesterday and am 4 pages into one that I started today... due Thursday.  But to be fair to myself, I had to start it today because today was when my professor made me change the whole thing.
Other than long papers, I am working on my couture project for visual thinking.  This week our inspiration board is due.  Hopefully I can come up with something great and post a picture of it next week!  I didn't have fashion last week, so no updates ):  but I did, however get to go to NYC with Art History!  After walking around the MET, I was sitting on the steps with my friends, felt something weird on my hand, and realized that I had put my hand on bird poop.  Where was that bird poop?  On my leg!  I hear that it's good luck though, so I wasn't completely upset... well... I was pretty upset... but I had another pair of pants with me since I was staying in Jersey for the weekend!
Well I have to get back to work, enjoy the nice weather (:
