Academics

Today was the first day of classes this semester and made me realize a few things. First, I am extremely lazy and the body of work that I am required to produce this semester is going to test my dedication to this whole college degree idea. I also realized that at the age of 24 I feel really old in class with all of these 18 year olds. I am not sure if I should feel this way because I am not old by any means, however I am definitely starting to realize the maturity difference a lot more than I had. 

I also noticed how depressed everyone seems to look as they meander through campus. Maybe it is the lack of leaves on the trees or the bite of the frigid winter cold that turns everyone into wandering depressed zombies. It could just be the fact that I live in the north east. I do get a lot of comments on how I am always smiling, I just think they aren't used to it. 

Although everything I write is important, this is what I need to tell you; today in 2D synthesis Ernest asked us to write down 3 artists that popped into our minds and interested. Immediately I thought of an artist who's work I recently saw when I was at SOFA  Chicago last year. My first impression of her ceramic figures was that they were very haunting, and intense forms. Now after more reflection I feel that these figures have a very dark sort of beauty and they are by far some of my favorite art to date. Please take the time to go to her website and see some more of her work. Cristina Cordova
