After 3 weeks frolicking in the North Island I returned to Dunedin and got straight into art school. 1 week down and I'm starting to wonder what the hell I have gotten myself in for!!!!
I'm really excited about my studio papers - the first being Photography (although I didn't develop my first film properly, oh well, I know what NOT to do next time!) - and life drawing (which I've done before) starts next week, that should be good but the rest I could do without! Art Theory/History is a joke - we got a lecture on Modernity and Modernism yet not 1 piece of art they showed us was from that artistic movement - go figure!!! And I haven't decided about Digital Literacy just yet.
We shall see if it improves....
