Thoughts about next week.

This next week is going to be pretty hectic, I'm rather nervous about it. First, my art teacher is going to take my finished piece down to the art gallery to 'discuss' whether or not the suggestive nudity is appropriate enough to be shown in the Art in Action show. Hopefully the curator will be able to see that it really isn't about the nudity, and that it's worth putting in. If it's not put in the show, of course I'll be disappointed because of all of the work I have done on my big piece, but from the start I knew that it would be a struggle to have it shown because of the size/content.


I also start a new, short project next week for my portfolio! It's going to be a really detailed ink/gouache/acrylic ink piece that will have an Art Nouveau take on it. I'm not sure about the sizing yet, or if I'll do two or three small pieces or just one larger one. Either way, the size will range from... 11x17 to 5x7. I'm really excited to get my hands back on some traditional media that isn't in any way related to wood, graphite, or oil. I'm really done with those three things right now. 


I was supposed to read Heart of Darkness last week too, but I never got around to it... now I'm worried about what sort of project we will have to do on it, and whether or not it's worth reading. I hear it's really good, but for right now I don't feel I'd be able to enjoy it as much because I would just be rushing through the novel. I think I may as well just Sparksnote it and leave it at that.


I can't believe that February is almost over. In less than two months my portfolio will have to be finished and I will have to go through the admissions process for Capilano. I'm really nervous for that whole ordeal, it's a really serious thing and I hope that I will be considered for the top 50 at the very least, because I'm sure that if I can get to the actually tests and interviews that I can get in. If not, I'll have to stay in Kelowna for another year and as of right now I don't think that I could handle that.


Anyways, I look like a chipmunk today because my cheeks and gums decided that they should swell at random for my third day of recovery. As I type, I am cradling an icepack between my cheek and shoulder. :/ Today has really sucked. At least it's been relaxing, I like that this break has come right after completing my big piece, I really have needed this down time all of February. 


I think I'm going to go play some pointless games like the Sims now. :)
