Lost in midsummer night's  dreams
Lost in midsummer night's dreams
Soo... yesterday I started my art classes at Academy of Art University in San Francisco. They offer a pre-college summer art experience course to all high school students. People (mostly young hipster folk, along with a few well-dressed nerds) come from all over the world to attend, which is pretty cool. Yesterday I had my fashion construction class which is really just a fancy title for sewing. And it's very hard to say the least. Alas, I'm behind the rest of the class already :( All those measurements! All those numbers! But I'm determined to stick it out.

...And today I have my graphic design class. I'm excited about this class in particular because this is what I'm really interested in (or so i think. we'll see after i'm done with the class!) And who knows, maybe there are some photogenic girls that wouldn't mind having their picture taken!

Well I'm off to make some smoke bombs, ya know, totally normal, right? Nothin weird going on here. Just mixing some potassium nitrate and sugar together/cooking it to make a chemical reaction ;)

What are you up to today?

I think that you will come to enjoy your classes, it just seems overwhelming at first.
The photographs are lovely, as always.

Have fun with the course. It's funny, I was just looking up smoke bombs, and there are plenty more recipes than shops that just sell them online.

Raji on July 1, 2010 at 8:12 AM said...

These are beautiful shots :)
That course sounds like the coolest thing ever, I'm sure if you have fun and learn some cool shit along the way it doesn't matter all that much about keeping up
Have fun with the BOMBAGEEEEE! :D
