Photography Class Nonsense

I don't really understand why my photography professor is making us listen to a podcast. about a shuttle crash. about a band called the long winters...how does this relate to photography?

Feels like he is staring into my soul right now. Okay he is looking away. Teaching assistant seems kind of thoughtful. I want to know what she is really thinking right now. Is she trying to be interested? Probably.

We are staring at this photo on the screen right now. It's been 12 minutes and 50 seconds. I officially hate this band. "The Commander Thinks Aloud" seems like an ongoing song that I can't get out of my head. It's creative but I'm tired of the repetitive piano part.

For our next project, we are supposed to be taking photos of any theme we want. It gives me some creative freedom. Some ideas of themes or concepts I want to photograph:

-trash and litter from the earth, dead animals on the side of the road?
-my friends on campus in their favorite outfits with their favorite things
-art, galleries, or street art
-sunset and sunrise scenes
-people and their technology, disconnection

Hello guys,

I haven't been on here in a while. I switched colleges. I was originally at the University of Texas at Dallas, but now I am attending the University of North Texas at Dallas. I switched majors from 3D Animation and Modeling to Drawing and Painting. Was it a good choice? I'm actually not totally sure because I enjoy both of these career paths very much. If I could do both, I would. Should I double major? Possibly.

Anyways, you are probably wondering what these things are at the bottom of the page. These are my things, which were all created by using found objects. I created them for design class this semester (Spring 2018) and have entered them into an art contest called the CVAD Annual Voertman Student Art Competition. With over 100 entries being submitted this year, it is unlikely that my small little sculptures will be accepted. But, why not give it a try?

I used a lot of super glue. I find the yellow sculpture to be one of the best ones, because it resembles a bird's nest. Overall, I think that the red and green sculpture is the best one. It's named Dragon Flowers, because my aunt suggested that the flowers look like dragons. She is totally right. I had a lot of fun creating these sculptures without knowing that I would enter them into a contest. I plan on entering many more in the future if any more pop up on a wall advertisement.

I do want to mention that before transferring to UNT, I had no idea that I would do it. I didn't plan it at all and never thought about it until one of my relatives suggested that I did. Right before this spring semester began, I decided that UNT would be a better school for me. I've always dreamed of attending a school that was serious about visual arts. UTD is not the school that I imagined attending after high school. Due to family pressure, I attended. I will not say that I didn't get anything out of UTD. I became very interested in their animation program, even if it was very challenging.
